As long as the spring breeze blows, it is everywhere.

Green weeds.

Contrast is used throughout the article, and two completely different life styles in the real world and their historical results are artistically presented in mutual comparison.

This poem was written on November 1, 1949. October 19, 1949 was the 13th anniversary of the death of Mr. Lu Xun. For the first time, the victorious people across the country publicly commemorated the great writer, thinker and revolutionary Mr. Lu Xun. Zang Ke's family personally participated in the commemorative activities in the capital. We also visited Lu Xun’s former residence. This poem was written by the poet later to commemorate the 13th anniversary of Lu Xun’s death.

The technique of this poem is very simple, the language is bright and direct, the viewpoints are clear and unambiguous, and the views expressed in it are also to the point, allowing people to directly understand the emotions contained in it. From the beginning to the end, the poet repeatedly uses concise contrasting techniques to write about two kinds of people. The two kinds of people contrast and set off each other, thus making the great one greater and the despicable one even more despicable.

Such a contrast is not developed from a single perspective but from multiple angles. "Some people are alive/he is dead; some people are dead/he is still alive." The poet first pointed out such a kind of contrast. Phenomenon, and then start from this phenomenon, compare them one by one from multiple angles, and explore the reasons from the souls, motivations, actions, and consequences of these two people.

The reason why some people are alive but dead is because they "ride on the heads of the people" and feel their own greatness; they carve their names into stones to be "immortal", but "he lives for others" He cannot live." From the depth of his soul, he is despicable and insignificant. In terms of motivation, he is greedy and selfish. In terms of consequences, he has caused serious disasters to the people and is an enemy of the people. Therefore, "the people put him "Collapse", "names rot earlier than corpses".

On the contrary, "some people are still alive even after they die" because they "bow down and work as cattle and horses for the people" and "willing to be weeds and wait for the fire in the ground", "he He lives to live a better life for the majority of people." Therefore, the people will always remember him. "As long as the spring breeze blows, there are green weeds everywhere." The masses hold him very high.

The biggest feature of this poem is its good use of contrast. The contrast creates a huge gap between the two views of life and death, and also helps to reveal the essential differences between beauty and ugliness, good and evil; at the same time, this contrast is the main theme throughout Each section of the whole poem, as a whole, uses the method of presentation and unfolds in sequence.

Many places in the article allude to Lu Xun’s poems, such as “bow down and serve the people as oxen and horses”, which is derived from Lu Xun’s poem “bow down and be willing to be a ox for the people”, and “willingly be a weed, waiting for the fire in the ground”. It comes from Lu Xun's "Weeds·Inscription" "I love my weeds, but I hate the ground decorated with weeds. The underground fire is running and raging underground; once the lava erupts, it will burn out all the weeds and even the trees. Therefore, there is no decay." Several sentences.

The use of Lu Xun's poetry and prose to eulogize Lu Xun's spirit is vivid and vivid, and can express the theme of the poem more thoroughly and more appropriately. The language throughout the article is concise and full of rhythm. Emotional expression produces strong effects in contrast. Make people never forget.
