2. About the author: Petofi Sando (1823— 1849) is a famous patriotic fighter and poet in Hungary. At the age of 25, he led an armed uprising in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, which later turned into a great patriotic war. In the battle with the Austrian rulers with the assistance of the Tsar's army, petofi galloped on the battlefield with poetry as a weapon, holding a combat knife and a quill pen, and finally died heroically on the battlefield at the age of 26 years and 7 months. But as early as 1907, petofi's life and works were introduced to China, and the great writer Lu Xun was the first to make a contribution. Lu Xun recommended and introduced petofi with great enthusiasm in his works on Moro Poetry, Hope and Remarks.
