Metaphor is a belief. Through my childhood experience, my mother said that "the sea is beyond the mountain". Among them, "sea" is what my mother talked about from my wishful thinking and doubts, and it is not ideal. Theme of the poem: It expresses the yearning and confusion of childhood and the feelings and beliefs of adulthood. To achieve lofty ideals, we must overcome disappointment again and again and constantly climb countless mountains. This process is arduous, difficult and painful. However, because of the call of ideals and the support of faith, people are not afraid to travel long distances.
