The creative background of Ai Qing's poems;
Ai Qing 1928 was admitted to the Painting Department of Hangzhou National West Lake Art Institute, and 1929 went to France to work and study, majoring in painting. At the same time, she also had extensive contact with philosophy, literature, especially poetry, and lived a life of "spiritual freedom and material poverty" for three years.
Being in a lewd, crazy, strange and unfamiliar capitalist civilized world, living a semi-vagrant life and chewing the inner loneliness of foreign vagrants, Ai Qing has a strong * * sound with western modern symbolism and impressionism poetry, forming the "vagrant feelings" in Ai Qing's early works.
From 65438 to 0932, Ai Qing returned to China and joined the "China Left-wing Artists Union" to engage in progressive patriotic activities. In July of the same year, he was arrested and imprisoned on the charge of "subverting the government" and suffered three years in prison.
1933, in prison, Ai Qing wrote the famous long poem "Wild Goose River-My Nanny" for the first time under a pseudonym, expressing sympathy and concern for the sufferings of farmers in China, which became famous in one fell swoop and aroused widespread concern in society and literary circles. Ai Qing 1935 was released from prison. 1936, published his early poetry collection Dayan River, which received great response.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Ai Qing moved from Chongqing to Yan 'an in 194 1. During this period, he wrote a lot of excellent poems, among which the famous ones are North, Wasteland, His Second Death and the long poem Towards the Sun and the Torch. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period can be called "Towards the Sun", and it is also the climax of Ai Qing's creative life.
The poetry collection "North" and the long poem "Facing the Sun" can be regarded as artistic experimental models for expressing the theme of life in the times with modern techniques.
