The Wild Goose River, My Nanny is Ai Qing's famous work. This is an ode dedicated by a rebellious son of the landlord class to his real mother, a kind and unfortunate ordinary peasant woman in China.
This poem has sincere and profound feelings. The poem repeatedly said, "Dayanhe is my nanny" and the poet is the son of the landlord. He grew up in the embrace of Dayan River and sucked her milk, which not only nurtured the poet and his body, but also nurtured the poet's feelings. The poet deeply accepted her love, and when he left his adoptive mother to return to his biological parents at school age, he felt the strangeness of his parents and the importance of his adoptive mother to him.
The integrity, kindness and simplicity of the foster mother influenced the poet's life. This poem is written around the relationship between "I" and "she" from beginning to end. His deep feelings for Dayan River are all expressed in his emotional statement. When he saw the snow in prison, he thought of Dayan River's "grassy grave under the pressure of snow", her former residence garden and her care and love for him ... so he showed the concrete work of Dayan River with affectionate poems.
With such true feelings and such a childlike heart, the image of this working woman is more lofty and perfect, so the poet should give warm praise to "all nannies and their sons who love me as their own sons". In this way, "Dayan River" is sublimated into the embodiment of people who will always be with mountains and villages, or the embodiment of farmers in China.

Hu Feng, a modern literary theorist and poet, said: "As for Dayanhe, my nanny, there is an image of a peasant woman who feeds other people's children with milk and maternal love and serves others with labor and loyalty. The author of "Babies" expressed her sincere love for this image with simple and true words. Here he put forward the curse of "this unfair world" and admitted that he and his insulted brothers were more "intimate" than before. Although the whole article is warm with personal feelings, there is no hard boundary between him and us. " (Tong San Tong: An Experiment in the History of Literature)
