Trees are just a concrete thing in nature. The poet entrusts things to the tree, praising a spirit of unity and struggle that is independent, progressive and rooted. The high integration of image and thinking is the common feature of all successful literary works.
Ai Qing endowed the trees growing on the earth with vivid characters, and saw the potential fact that "they are covered with soil/their roots are spreading" with a unique eye, and regarded them as a symbol that a great nation is uniting and condensing into a powerful force.
His artistic expression makes people get a poetic pleasure in observing and integrating life phenomena, and then get a philosophical understanding. The whole poem is implicit and deep, full of philosophical meditation, which is its success.
