The mountain is high and the road is far away
Wang Guozhen
Crying is an outbreak of silence
Silence is a silent call
No matter whether it is violent
or quiet
I pray
As long as it is not dull
If you call me from a distance
I will go to towards the distant
If the mountain calls me
Me. Wipe the path
scratch your hands
simply turn the thorn into a cuckoo
There is no road longer than your feet
There is no mountain higher than people

Appreciation: The mountain is high and the road is far, which is a representative of Wang Guozhen's poetry. This poem expresses an enterprising, persistent, optimistic and confident emotion, and shows the fighting, enterprising, high-spirited and uplifting spirit of contemporary youth, and draws a clear line with those decadent voices moaning without illness and those empty and boring rhetoric poems. It inspires people and gives them a healthy and uplifting spiritual guidance, thus winning the love of the vast number of teenagers. In the way of lyricism, we mainly express our feelings by talking about images. Discussion is the main means of lyricism here, but it is different from those dry sermons. It turns abstract thinking into a novel and beautiful image every second, implying emotion in the discussion of the image. In writing, the poems are easy to understand and be accepted by readers in plain language. The main idea of this poem is all condensed in the last two sentences: "There is no road longer than feet/no mountain higher than people". The mountain is high and the road is long, but everyone can reach it, which vividly and implicitly reveals the subjective dynamic role of people. In fact, it also emphasizes a spirit, an optimistic, enterprising, persistent and confident attitude towards life.
