If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a hoarse throat:
This land hit by the storm,
This river of sadness and anger will surge forever,
This endless wind,
And the gentle dawn from the forest ...
And then I died,
Even feathers rot in the ground.
Why do I often cry?
Because I love this land deeply. ...
Extended data:
This poem constantly strengthens its feelings in a lyrical way, so as to strike a chord for a long time. This poem begins with "if", which is the first layer of reinforcement. Who doesn't know that the birds are clear and crisp? This poem is described as "hoarse", which is the second layer of reinforcement. It is not enough to have these two layers of reinforcement, so the objects of singing have appeared in the poem one after another: land, river, wind and dawn.
It is particularly noteworthy that when describing these images, the author has reached the point where he is poor and full of enthusiasm, which fully embodies the artistic characteristics of this liberal poet. When writing poetry, most people avoid or use the word "de" less, because the word "de" is too much and slow, which dilutes the taste of poetry.
The author Ai Qing is not. He dares to express his lingering feelings with a series of long sentences composed of the word "de", and likes to add a lot of adjectives and modifiers in front of the object he describes to express the spirit of the object and form a special three-dimensional sense and sculpture sense. This is an important feature that distinguishes Ai Qing's free verse creation from other free verse writers (such as Tian Ye).
The poem "I Love This Land" is no exception. If you look at the modifiers such as "sadness", "fierceness" and "softness" specially added before the headwords such as land, river, wind and dawn, you can see the mystery. These long sentences describing landscapes such as land and rivers mentioned above can be said to be the third layer of reinforcement.
Just when the author was impressed by his constant singing-tenacious vitality, the poem suddenly took a big turn. After the dash, it highlighted "I am dead" and made the body fertile. Thus, before and after death, there is a strong contrast, and in this strong contrast and contrast, the persistent love of the "bird" for the land is that it was born in Sri Lanka, sang in Sri Lanka, buried in Sri Lanka, and read here until death does us part.
