When awake
Can only fantasize
Dreams will visit them when they are asleep.
Maybe childhood friends.
Maybe friends come from afar.
There is pain on the wire bed.
There is joy on the straw.
Give when needed.
Massive theft
It's not a false alarm
If something is lost,
Ai Qing, an old poet, wrote Dream (No.3 People's Literature), which expressed the true feelings of "there is pain on the wire bed and joy on the straw pile" and expressed his attachment and pursuit of a life with poor material but rich spirit.
Most of the images in poetry represent new objects. Childhood friends are beautiful, and friends far away are also beautiful. Even though life is often accompanied by pain and shadow, the future is still bright and beautiful. Especially after liberation, the poems praising everyone's enthusiasm for building a new China show the poet's infinite expectation for the motherland.
Dream is an illusory word. But it represents hope and symbolizes the rise of the new China.
