In the first and second verses of the poem, it is worth noting that in Ai Qing's feeling world, the sun actually rolled out from the ancient tomb, from the other side of the stream of human death, and passed through the dark ages, suggesting that light was born in darkness and death. This is different from Guo Moruo's praise of the sun. In Guo Moruo's feelings, light comes from light.
The reason why Ai Qing has such strange feelings and performances is the complex interweaving of the consciousness of hardship and light endowed by the times, which makes him realize this potentially.
The light of the times, the rebirth of the nation, must be exchanged with a lot of blood and life, and the greater the cost, the more irresistible this light is: "If the steam wheel flies over the sand dunes, the sun will roll towards me", which is indeed a bit tragic.
The third section is developed from the first section and the second section, which means that the arrival of light can not only revive all things, but also inspire all beings, and a new era of scientific civilization will emerge.
It is these passions and beliefs that inspired Ai Qing, so in the fourth season, he put himself in and expressed his feelings directly, saying that his stale and gloomy soul had been abandoned by the flame hand of the sun and created a new soul with "full confidence in human regeneration".
Ai Qing really wants to get rid of the feeling of human suffering, cheer up in the premonition that the light will come, and pursue the real light in the future. It can be said that this poem typically embodies the ideological trend of the times of those passionate young people who love the motherland, join in the war and seek liberation.

Original text:
From the ancient tomb
From the dark ages
From the other side of the stream of human death
Shake the sleeping mountains
If the steam wheel flies over the sand dunes,
The sun is rolling towards me.
It's hard to hide the light.
Breathe life
Let tall trees and branches dance with it.
Let the river run to it with crazy songs
I heard it when it came.
Insect pupae that sting in winter are spinning underground.
The crowd spoke loudly in the clearing.
A distant city
Call it electricity and steel.
So my heart and chest
Torn by the hand of fire
A stale soul
Abandoned by the river
I have a firm belief in human regeneration.
