Wen Yiduo mentioned these seven places in his poem, and as seven children who were taken away from the motherland, he made a deep appeal to his mother from the perspective of children. Once published, it aroused people's strong voices.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, China has been invaded by foreign powers many times. When Wen Yiduo was studying in the United States, his experiences in various places made him feel sad and angry during his study abroad. Finally, in 1925, he wrote a group of patriotic poems named Song of Seven Sons to show his patriotism and homesickness for his country.
Wen Yiduo put forward these seven ceded and leased places, and, as children whose motherland was taken away, made a deep call to his mother from the perspective of children, expressing his attachment and yearning for the motherland.
The publication of this group of poems coincided with the climax of China people's anti-feudal struggle. Therefore, once the Song of Seven Sons was published, it aroused people from indifference. At that time, people used this poem to make a strong sound.
