1, "Tree" Ai Qing
A tree, a tree is independent of each other.
Wind and air tell them the distance.
But under the cover of soil, their roots will grow
In the invisible depths, they entangle the roots.
The tree was written in the spring of 1940. At that time, the great War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression had been going on for more than two years and was turning into a difficult stalemate. This great national war is giving all our people a baptism, making their souls undergo severe tempering in the war and gradually moving towards spiritual awakening. The poet Ai Qing clearly felt this, which should be the realistic basis for his inspiration and association.
2, "I love this land" Ai Qing
If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a hoarse throat:
This land hit by the storm,
This river of sadness and anger will surge forever,
This endless wind,
And the gentle dawn from the forest ...
Because I love this land deeply. ...
This poem was written in Wuhan in 1938.
At this time, the poet has already had rich experience. Whether it is social unrest, national crisis or people's suffering, poets have been or are being strongly shocked. And all this happened in this land of China. Poets who have been caring and thinking about this land have a deeper understanding of this land and stronger feelings.
3. The Pond in Winter Ai Qing
The pond in winter is as lonely as the old man's heart-
A painstaking effort that has experienced the world; Ponds in winter,
Dry as an old man's eyes-shining eyes worn away by hard work;
The pond in winter is as barren as an old man's hair-
Hair is as thin and gray as frost grass.
The pond in winter is as gloomy as a sad old man-
An old man hunched his back under a gloomy sky.
The poem "Pond in Winter" is deeply sad. Facing the pond in winter, the poet anxiously expects the change of this scene. It adopts a visual writing method and depicts the image of "pond in winter" with vivid metaphors.
4. "Handcart" Ai Qing
In the area where the Yellow River flows, there are countless dry river bottoms.
A cart with only one wheel.
Make a harsh sound and shake the gloomy sky.
Germinate from the cold and silence at the foot of this mountain.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, there was a plaintive cry of the people in the north.
In the days of freezing snow and ice, between poor villages and poor villages
Trolley with independent wheels
Deep rutting on the gray loess layer
Across the desert, from this road to that road.
Intertwined with the sadness of the people in the north.
The car in the poem is a symbolic image. He is a reflection of a certain aspect of the profound disaster of the Chinese nation's historical destiny. The "sadness of northerners" expressed by the poet with the help of a wheelbarrow also contains sadness about the conservative and rigid lifestyle. It is not only a quiet and sad protest of the poet against the maker of suffering, but also a philosophical enlightenment to change the lifestyle of unicycle and inspire the national spirit.
