Xu Zhimo returned from England in 1922 and died in a plane crash in 193 1 year, bounded by 1927. His poetry creation is divided into two periods.
Except for a few negative and illusory feelings, most of the works in Poems by Zhi Mo and Night with Jade Hairpins in the early stage have more positive ideological significance: advocating individual liberation, striving for democracy and freedom, praising humanitarianism, running through ideological clues of loving the motherland, opposing feudalism and emphasizing humanitarianism, and reflecting the spirit of the May 4th Movement to some extent; The style is quite distinct and healthy.
Although there are some positive and enterprising poems in the later works collected in Tiger Collection and Wandering Collection, more subordinate poems are shrouded in disappointment, sadness and decadence, and ideological contradictions and even confusion are clearly visible. In some chapters, there are poems that are obviously wrong in consciousness, showing fear and hostility to revolutionary practice and theory. Tired of politics, he is world-weary, world-weary and even tired of love.
