What is the theme of Cang Kejia's poems?

Cang Kejia (1905-) 1933 published his first book of poetry, Brand, which is his most influential work. This collection of poems sincerely and simply shows the decline of rural areas in China, the sufferings and perseverance of farmers, and the worries of the nation.

Since then, he has published more than ten collections of poems and long poems, including Black Hands of Evil, Self-portrait, Song of the Earth, Baby, Zero Life and so on.

During this period, Cang Kejia's poems were short, but they were quite general. In addition to consciously learning the structural methods of classical poetry, he formed a dignified, concentrated and refined style, and deliberately pursued novelty, originality and visualization of words, but at the same time he was plain, clear and colloquial.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Cang Kejia wrote many political lyric poems, among which Some People is his masterpiece. This poem was written to commemorate the third anniversary of Lu Xun's death/kloc-0. Its uniqueness lies in its philosophical theme: man lives for the better of most people. In fact, this theme has gone beyond the scope of praising Lu Xun's spirit and introduced readers into deeper thinking about life. Simple language, strong contrast and vivid image are the artistic characteristics of this poem.

In addition to continuing to write short and meaningful poems, Cang Kejia also wrote a biographical poem "Li Dazhao". This long poem shows the great and ordinary personality of a revolutionary pioneer from many angles such as fighting and family.
