Original text:
The night gave me black eyes.
I use it to find light?
Generation: refers to people who grew up in the historical stage of the Cultural Revolution.
Night: alluding to the political movement of the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976.
The poem * * * two sentences. "Night" and "light" form a sharp contrast between dark and bright colors, and "black eyes" are distorted images, permeated with strong emotional colors.
It embodies the critical spirit and profoundly denies the great power of black and night. Compared with the colorful bright world, black is an extreme, which is opposite to light. But I think "black eyes" is also a metaphor for the black eyes of our Chinese nation to some extent.

Generation is a poem written by the unknown poet Gu Cheng in Beijing in 1979. This poem is one of the representative works of obscure poetry in the new period, which is widely circulated. It expresses the voice of a generation, and also entrusts the ideals and ambitions of a generation-the tenacious desire and persistent pursuit of "light" after "night".
This poem also fully embodies the artistic characteristics of Gu Cheng's poems in artistic techniques and is unique in the construction of images. Poets use images closely related to life feelings in their lives and express their fresh experiences of the world, life and life with unexpected combinations. He also tried to express his feelings with clear and simple words and sentences to avoid obscure and other abusive pollution in poetic language.
