Poetry depicts a gloomy picture of Jiangnan alleys during the rainy season, which constitutes a lyrical artistic conception with strong symbolic color. Here, the poet figuratively described the dark and gloomy social reality at that time as a narrow and lonely "rain lane" without sunshine and vitality.
The lyric hero "I" is a wanderer, walking alone in such a rainy lane. "I" still cherish the longing and pursuit of beautiful ideals and hopes in loneliness. The "lilac-like girl" in the poem is a symbol of this beautiful ideal. However, this beautiful ideal is slim and difficult to realize.
The extended material Rain Lane creates a lyrical artistic conception with strong symbolic color. Here, the poet metaphorically described the dark and dreary social reality at that time as a narrow and lonely "rain lane". There is no sound, no joy, no sunshine here. The poet himself is such a lonely person wandering in the rain lane.
He has good hopes in loneliness. I hope there is a beautiful ideal in front of me. The "lilac-like" girl described by the poet is a symbol of this beautiful ideal. However, the poet knows that this beautiful ideal is difficult to realize.
She is as full of sadness and melancholy as herself, fleeting and drifting away like a dream. What is left is only the poet himself who is still wandering in the dark reality, and the hope that the dream that cannot be realized generally floats away.
