"In the past, I was gone, and the willows were reluctant. Today I think about it, it's raining. " This is a record of scenery writing, and it is even more lyrical. Four poems are like two paintings, written in contrast, which express the feelings of a soldier who is away from home to the fullest. It was spring when I went out, poplar and willow were floating in the wind, and it was already snowy winter when I came home. Looking back on the past and remembering the present, we can learn from this painful experience. In the context changes of "today" and "past", "coming" and "going", "raining rain and falling snow" and "weeping willows", the garrison soldiers deeply experienced the passage of life and the cruelty of war.
"Walking on the street is slow, carrying thirst and carrying hunger", coupled with the long way home, dangerous road, lack of luggage, hunger and thirst, this immediate life dilemma has deepened his sadness. The "delay in walking" seems to also include the guards' concerns about their parents and wives. After a long time, life and death are unknown, and when this returns, it will inevitably produce panic and fear. However, in this rainy wilderness, no one knows and no one comforts; Therefore, "I am sad, I don't know that I am sad", and the whole poem ends in this lonely and helpless lament.
