He is the most famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. During Lu You's life, due to special historical reasons, Lu You experienced the war at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the war at the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty. Because he fled his hometown under the abuse of the enemy in his childhood, Lu You, inspired and educated by patriotic thoughts, had a very hateful feeling towards the war disaster at that time. Therefore, as early as his youth, he planted the seeds of revenge against the invaders in the depths of his soul.
Xiuer was written on the New Year's Eve of Jiading in Ningzong, Southern Song Dynasty, and it was the last swan song left by Lu You before his death. From his childhood to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, and then to his imminent death, the great rivers and mountains of the motherland have never been recovered. Lu You didn't know everything was empty until he died. Although he risked his life and death, his only regret was that the mountains and rivers were broken and the country could not be unified.
Lu You's lifelong wish is to expel foreign enemies and unify the motherland. Such a warm wish has never been erased in his heart. So before he died, he told his sons that if the motherland is reunified one day, don't forget to tell him when offering sacrifices to him. He has been looking forward to the good news of victory, but no matter whether Lu You was an official in the court or in a local place, he didn't hear the news he hoped for until he lived at home in his later years.
The confession to his son before he died was painful and sincere, which made people cry. It shows the author's patriotic feelings of worrying about the country and the people, and is highly respected by future generations.
