What does the match image in Ai Qing's selected poems express?

compared with the sun, torch is a more political image. Whether you care or not, the sun is there, but the torch is lit by people. In western mythology, Prometheus stole the skyfire from Apollo, the sun god, and passed it on to mankind. Torch also became a symbol of rebellious spirit and progress. In the long poem Torch, people walked forward with torches, which awakened the numb people. It can be said that the torch is the call of the poet and the call of the revolution.
