Is Fan Niang just a fictional character's inner monologue?

Fan Niang is not just a fictional character's inner monologue. The Lost Mother expresses the frustrated lost mother's yearning for her hometown, her pursuit of a better world and her persistent, profound, sad and beautiful voice in a tactful and graceful way. This poem is about the lost mother's yearning for her old country, and also expresses the poet's own love and yearning for Italy.
