If I lose mine, the poet's childlike innocence is everywhere, but it is heavy and painful.
China, I lost my keys.
Author Liang, born in Rongcheng County, Shandong Province, 1956. 1979 began to publish poems, and many works were included in various poetry anthologies. Because most of his poems are vague and implicit, he has become the main representative of the obscure poetry school. Similar to Gu Cheng's creation, Liang always looks at the world with a childlike innocence, thinking that "simplicity is the soul of poetry, and no matter how great a discovery is, it is hoped to be told through children's language". His interpretation of poetry not only embodies his aesthetic ideal and taste, but also makes a clear footnote for his poetry.
China, I lost my key, showing the poet's childlike innocence everywhere, but it was heavy and painful. "The criticism of the Gang of Four in our poems is completely manifested in a feeling of family destruction, as if the original world was very clear, and I don't know why it was chaotic." This poem embodies the poet's sense of spiritual loss. However, poets generally don't confine their losses to the destruction of their families, but project them into the historical process of a nation and write about the historical losses of a nation. In this way, an important theme is gently derived from a small event-the poet wrote "lost the key" with a childlike heart. This is the charm of this poem.
The poet chose a common phenomenon in life-the key hanging around the child's neck. This is home, warmth and the embodiment of normal and orderly life. The poet imagines and spiritualizes this living appliance and extends its material function to the spiritual world. This key has become a symbol of opening the door of soul, spirit and even history. With it, you can lead to the door of your child new soul; With it, we can step into the bright and broad door of history, and now, all this is lost. The poet juxtaposes the symbolic image of "key" with "China", and connects "losing key" with "running wildly in the red street more than ten years ago", which expands the connotation of the poem to a broad and far-reaching historical background, naturally reminds people of the historical disaster in the decade of the Cultural Revolution, and the profound historical connotation of the poem arises from this. With this symbolic connotation, it is easy for us to imagine that this poem is the poet's accusation against the history that makes people mentally ignorant and savage, the search for new soul and civilized spirit, and the call for people's spiritual return. The poet combines symbolism with realism, and by looking for a key, he hints at the return of spiritual path, the exploration and reflection of historical truth, and the deep yearning for healthy spirit, colorful ideals, sweet love and happy life.
The poet looks at the world with a childlike innocence. What he sees is not a fairy tale with decadent colors, but a lost fairy tale dating history.
