First of all, the two poems were written in different eras and backgrounds. Although they both express strong patriotic feelings, the former expresses the deep affection for the motherland, while the latter expresses the disaster of our nation and the suffering of the people at that time. The hardships and enthusiasm eulogized the perseverance and sacrifice of the Chinese people to serve the country.
Motherland, my dear motherland. The whole poem aims to express the poet's deep affection for the motherland. Compared with similar poems in the past, it has distinctive characteristics of the times and personality - it contains both the confused pain and joyful hope of contemporary youth, as well as a daughter's true love for her motherland. The whole poem has novel ideas and sincere feelings. It goes against the superficial and "mythical" praises of some past poems, and sings the song of the motherland from a unique perspective. In order to express this innocent affection, the poet adopts a rhythm from low and slow to high and fast. Only when it is low and slow can it sound like weeping, complaining, and feeling sad and resentful; only when it is high and fast can it be passionate and unrestrained and indomitable. In order to express the poet's sense of integration and devotion to the motherland, the whole poem uses the technique of interweaving and blending of subject and object. The subject is the poet's "I", and the object is the "motherland", and in the progress of the whole poem, let them merge into one - I am the motherland, and the motherland is me. The motherland is my pain, I am the sorrow of the motherland; the motherland is my confusion, I am the hope of the motherland; I am the tears and laughter of the motherland, and the motherland is taking off and running on my flesh and blood and soul. This is a deeply patriotic song. In the poem, the individual self is placed in the big image of the motherland and assumes the important task of making the motherland prosperous and strong. It expresses the author's strong patriotism and deep sense of historical responsibility.
