Who wrote ants?

Ant is a modern poem by Shangchao Li, a famous contemporary poet. Selected Contemporary Poems of China. This poem always reminds people to do necessary introspection. The work shows the relativity between the weak and the strong by describing the ordinary life of ants and comparing it with the seemingly powerful people. Some seemingly powerful things, if they don't get along well with the weak, will eventually escape the law of being defeated.

The poem begins with the sentence "the ant is singing", which goes against common sense and firmly grasps the reader's curiosity. It seems natural to read it slowly. Ants and humans constitute two distinct external characteristics, one tiny and the other huge. This is the first contrast. Their different lifestyles and attitudes form a second contrast: the weak are noble and the strong are humble. There is a great contrast between the drunken dream when human beings are alive and the empty shell after death, which is the third contrast.

original work

Ants are singing. Listen, they are really singing.

In our opinion, ants carry inferior food.

In fact, they are holding hands and looking at their eyes.

They carry enough food to sustain life.

Ants are sometimes silent and orderly.

They don't care if we drink, dance and go whoring.

They focus on their own lives.

They work and store food for winter.

They are sharp-eyed, so don't think they are really vulgar.

Ants know us giants.

It's all an illusion. It's active for a while and doesn't follow their rules.

And once they fall, they are bustling with their children.

Like a local tyrant, he quickly hollowed us out.
