Song of the Seven Sons Patriotic Poems

Song of Seven Sons is a group of poems written by Wen Yiduo, a famous Chinese scholar, during his study in the United States in 1925. The full text consists of seven poems, symbolizing seven China territories occupied by foreign powers, namely Macau, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Province Province, Ahava, Guangzhou Bay, Kowloon Island and Lushun Dalian. The song of the seven sons, which we often listen to, is only the first of the seven sons. Song of Seven Sons was written in March 1925, when Wen Yiduo was in new york. In its preface, alsace-lorraine is translated into Lorraine region, which is located in the east of France. At the foot of Faust Mountain, it was ceded to Germany in the Franco-Prussian War and returned after the Treaty of Versailles. In the poem, Wen Yiduo compares seven pieces of "lost land" plundered by foreign powers to seven children who are far away from their mothers, crying about their strong feelings of being bullied by foreign countries and eager to return to their mothers' arms. On the one hand, poetry expresses nostalgia and praise for the motherland, on the other hand, it expresses the curse to the imperialist powers. /kloc-in the summer of 0/925, Wen Yiduo returned from studying in the United States. Walking off the ship, the poet could hardly restrain his excitement, threw his suit and tie into the river and rushed to the embrace of his motherland. However, what awaits him is boundless darkness and great shame ... Look at his hometown, the mountains and rivers are broken, the wind and rain are like a rock, the jackals are in power, the powers are rampant, and the motherland is divided and occupied by others ... The poet wrote the poem Discovery in grief and indignation, and immediately published the famous patriotic poem Song of Seven Sons in Modern Review. "Seven sons" refers to seven pieces of land occupied by foreign powers at that time, and Macao is only one of the "seven sons". The seven sons of the motherland are Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan Province Province, Kowloon, Ahava, Guangzhou Bay and Luda (Lushun and Dalian). History will never forget 1842 that humiliating August, when an honest official grovelled aboard the British warship Cornwallis anchored on the Nanjing River and signed the first unequal treaty in China's modern history-China-Britain treaty of nanking. According to the treaty, China ceded Hong Kong Island to Britain, which opened the prelude for foreign powers to carve up China. 1860, China and Britain signed the Beijing Treaty, and Britain occupied the southern tip of Kowloon Peninsula. 1898, the Qing government was forced to sign the "Special Provisions on Expanding the Border of Hong Kong", which classified the rest of the Kowloon Peninsula, a "sister of Hong Kong", as "New Territories" and leased it to Britain for 99 years. 1887, China and Portugal signed the Treaty of Friendship and Trade, and the Portuguese who were allowed to stay in Macao in the name of "drying goods" in the middle of the Ming Dynasty seized the "Lotus Land" from then on. 1895, China and Japan signed the treaty of shimonoseki, and the Treasure Island and Ryukyu Islands in Taiwan Province Province and a string of pearls in the East China Sea were ceded to Japan together with her twin brother Lushun and Dalian on the Bohai Bay (leased by the Russian Empire). 1898, China and Britain signed the Special Terms for Ahava, and Ahava, the "master of preventing the sea", rented Britain for 25 years. 1899, China and France signed the Special Terms for Lease of Guangzhou Bay, and the iron lock at the back door of China (now Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province) was leased to France. By 1900, the imperialist powers had forcibly opened hundreds of commercial ports on the land of China, and delineated more than 20 concessions in more than 10 cities. The "seven sons of China" fell apart under the arrogance of imperialist powers such as Britain, France, Japan and Russia. There is a poem that represents the mentality of patriots at that time: "When I was sleeping in China, I didn't know that patriotism meant loving my family. People should wake up today and don't wait for the soil to crack like a melon." Seven sons shed tears, and the poet sang a sad song alone. Wen Yiduo witnessed with his own eyes the "ruin of the country over the years" and felt that the homeland of the motherland "lost its support in the motherland and was abused by others". "Because I chose seven places that have the closest relationship with China, I wrote a chapter in each song to express my loneliness and death, to pin my grief over the early demise of the motherland, and to inspire the people to prosper." The strong feelings of loving the motherland and longing for reunification between the lines immediately aroused strong repercussions among readers. A young man surnamed Wu wrote in a letter to the editorial department: "After reading Song of Seven Sons, I didn't know that my eyes were full of tears after hearing one sad sentence after another. When I read Models and Chen Qingbiao, I was not so moved. " The "seven sons of China" captured by the great powers is a symbol of national tragedy and national disaster. It shows that: "the weak of the country is humiliated" and "being behind will be beaten"; It warned the people of China: "The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time!" /kloc-for more than 0/00 years, generations of Chinese sons and daughters have come forward for the sake of national prosperity and national independence, throwing their heads, spilling their blood and going forward bravely, and writing magnificent historical poems. The indomitable will of the people of China to pursue reunification has merged into an unstoppable torrent. 1930 10, China recovered Ahava; 1945, the people of China defeated the Japanese invaders. 10 year 10 On October 25th, Ando Rikichi, the last Japanese governor in Taiwan Province Province, submitted a surrender letter to the China government in Zhongshan Hall, Taipei, and Taiwan Province Province returned to Chinese territory. At the same time, Guangzhou Bay, Lushun and Dalian have also returned to the embrace of the motherland. Great changes have taken place in the motherland, and the people of China have stood up since then! Wen Yiduo's son said, "May my father know under the grave and have fun with us." Faith can move mountains. In fact, the return of "China Seven Sons" is in jeopardy! -Wen Yiduo's "Song of the Seven Sons, Preface to Poetry"
