-Provide background and discuss key points.
1, providing background: This poem was written in June of 1973, during the period of "ten years of turmoil". Han Niu, a poet, is undergoing labor reform in the cadre school of the Ministry of Culture in Xianning, Hubei Province (he was put in a "bullpen" and engaged in forced labor during the Cultural Revolution). Once, when he went to Guilin, he saw a imprisoned tiger in the zoo with a broken toe and bloody paws. The image of the tiger strongly touched the poet's feelings. After returning to the cadre school, he wrote this song "South China Tiger" (expressing his independent personality and pursuit of freedom).
About the author: China is a poetic country with a long history and tradition, with numerous poets. But not all poets can achieve outstanding achievements. Only a talented poet who closely links his destiny with the times and the nation and deeply feels the pulse of history and the voice of the people through his unique personality can leave his mark on the history of poetry. Among China poets spanning the 20th century to the 26th century, Comrade Han Niu is a minority poet with a bumpy fate and rich experience. He is of Mongolian descent and longed for revolution in his early years. 1946 was arrested and imprisoned for participating in the student movement, and engaged in the underground work of the party after he was released from prison. At that time, he became a member of the influential "July" poetry school at that time, and his singing voice of resisting aggression and calling for democracy, which was full of national and revolutionary passion, aroused the feelings of readers. After the founding of New China, he immediately joined the front line to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, joined the Chinese people's Volunteer Army Air Force, and fought to defend the country. However, after 1955, he was unfortunately implicated in the unjust case of the so-called "Hu Feng Group" and was forced to stop writing because of improper handling. Immediately after his comeback, he sang aloud, participated in hosting the large-scale publication China, and worked as an editor in People's Literature Publishing House for a long time, editing historical materials of new literature. In the new period of China's reform and opening-up, he not only edited the poetry anthology "White Flowers" by 20 people of the July School together with Lvyuan, but also left a precious memorial for this group of poems which had homosexual interest before liberation. His personal updates are frequent. The collection of poems Hot Springs won the National Excellent New Poetry Award1983-1984; He also published a variety of poems, such as Butterfly on the Sea, Silent Cliff, Earthworms and Feathers, and Selected Lyrics of Han Niu. Although he is old, he is old and strong, and he has been working hard until now. In addition to poetry, he also published a collection of essays, such as Hutuo River and Me, Firefly Collection and Commentary Collection, and Notes on Learning Poetry.

"I" understand that it is not only tigers that are imprisoned by human beings, but also noble lives that do not yield and live;
