sand
The sun shines on a white beach.
Our footprints are printed on the beach.
We walked by the river.
The river churned in the wind.
We called a ferry.
But the sound was blown away by the wind.
Ai Qing was influenced by late French romantic poetry and late French symbolic poetry, but his pursuit was different from that of western symbolism. He tried his best to abandon the illusion that western symbolism simply pursued "self" and only paid attention to the appearance effect. While paying attention to absorbing some useful means of expression from western symbolism, he paid more attention to using these means in the expression of life experience. Even a sand-like sketch is by no means a mirage or a castle in the air, but an artistic representation of real life.
