The whole poem is clear and easy to understand, without any specific meaning, as if it was blurted out, but the emotion is intense, the momentum is heroic, and the artistic conception is expressed clearly and completely. This is a true expression of the poet's noble sentiments. Readers can't help but be shocked by the awe-inspiring righteousness in the poem and stand in awe of the poet's noble personality. The author Ye Ting was illegally arrested by the Kuomintang during the Wannan Incident. He was imprisoned in Shangrao, Jiangxi, Enshi, Hubei, Guilin, Guangxi and other places, and was finally moved to the "China-US Special Technology Cooperation Institute" concentration camp in Chongqing. In prison, Ye Ting suffered all kinds of inhuman torture, but remained steadfast and unyielding. In the face of various inducements from the Kuomintang, he showed the high integrity of a communist. He inscribed this eternal song on the wall of the prison, which has been widely recited by future generations. In the first half of the poem, the author contrasts "man" with "dog", "door" and "hole", clearly explaining the revolutionaries' noble pursuit of human integrity. The Hungarian poet Petofi once said, "Life is precious, but love is more valuable. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away." This famous line expresses people's persistent pursuit of freedom. The Kuomintang reactionaries also wanted to take advantage of people's instinctive desire to conquer the revolutionaries they could not conquer with torture. However, how do they know the difference between the "freedom" they provide and the "freedom" the revolutionaries desire? This kind of temptation has no effect in front of a staunch revolutionary like the poet. It is precisely because they want more people to gain true freedom that they are willing to shed their lives and blood, even if they are imprisoned, without looking back. Although we have lost our personal freedom now, if the loss of this "small freedom" can be exchanged for the "big freedom" of more people, then there is nothing to regret! The ancients said: "The reason why martyrs are different from ordinary people is that they match their friendship with each other." The poet is exactly such an upright revolutionary who is unyielding in wealth and poverty, and unyielding in power. He wrote: "I long for freedom, but I know deeply - how can a human body crawl out of a dog hole!" So when he faced the choice of "freedom" and "imprisonment", in order to maintain a " "Human dignity", in order to maintain the revolutionary integrity of a Communist, he would rather choose "imprisonment". The poet's great personality is fully reflected here. In the second half of the poem, the poet responded to the shouting voice outside with an passionate tone, telling them his choice, and using fierce words to express his noble ambition and fearless spirit of preferring to live in pieces rather than in ruins. In the poem, the poet uses a "living coffin" as a metaphor for this hell on earth where revolutionary patriots are imprisoned. On the one hand, it reveals the atrocities of the Kuomintang reactionaries who brutally persecuted revolutionary patriots and massacred communists here; This will reveal the final outcome of the Kuomintang's reactionary rule that will inevitably perish. The poet firmly believes that the revolution will eventually win the final victory, and he looks forward to the revolutionary fire raging and burning down this hell on earth. He is willing to dedicate his blood and life to the country and the nation, so that he can reflect the true value of life in the struggle of blood and fire and gain eternal life. We seem to see that in the raging fire, the tall image of a Communist who stands firm and upright stands tall and shines brightly for thousands of years. This is a majestic piece of music composed by a revolutionary with his life. Although there are no gorgeous textual decorations, the music is loud and clear, and it is so sonorous and powerful when read, it is soul-stirring. After the founding of New China, this poem was selected as a text in primary school textbooks as a teaching material for patriotism education. The lofty revolutionary spirit and great patriotism revealed in the poem have educated generations of our young people.
