Song of the Seven Sons-Macau
Do you know that "mu-cau" is not my real name? I've been away from your children for too long, mom!
But what they took away was my body, and you still kept my inner soul.
I've dreamed of my biological mother for 300 years! Please call your son by his real name and call me "Macau"!
Mom! I want to come back, mom!

You have to fill the cart. Anyway, it didn't say a word, and the pressure on its back was buckled into the meat. It hangs its head heavily!
Don't know the fate of the next moment. It only swallowed tears in its heart, and there was a whip shadow in its eyes. It looked up at the front.
Song of Seven Sons, Song of Seven Sons published by patriotic poet Wen Yiduo on July 4, modern translation 1925.
At that time, seven places in China, namely Macau, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province, Ahava, Guangzhou, Kowloon and Luda, were successively occupied and leased by western imperialism. Mr. Wen Yiduo was humiliated by a foreign country and resolutely returned to China. As soon as he returned to the motherland, he witnessed the May 30th tragedy, where foreigners were rampant and the people were in dire straits.
"Old horse", an old horse struggling under a heavy whip, what is its symbol? Different people have different opinions. The poet thinks that he wrote it himself.

Song of the Seven Sons-Macau
The simple, sincere and touching theme song in the large-scale TV documentary "Macau Years" aroused strong response from the audience. After listening to this song, everyone burst into tears and regarded it as the "theme song" to welcome Macao's return.
But many people don't know that the lyrics of this song are not a new work written for the return of Macao. It is the first of a group of poems called Song of Seven Sons over 70 years ago, written by Wen Yiduo, a late professor, famous patriotic scholar and poet in Tsinghua University.
When writing this group of poems, Wen Yiduo was studying in new york Art Institute. After living in the United States for nearly three years, he has personally experienced the humiliation of racial discrimination many times, and what he saw and heard aroused his strong national pride. Coupled with the experience of leaving his hometown for three years, he became more attached to his motherland and hometown, and also deepened his understanding and love for national traditional culture.
Therefore, during this period, he wrote a lot of patriotic poems, on the one hand, remembering and praising the motherland, on the other hand, expressing the curse to the imperialist powers. This group of songs of Qizi was born under this background. The day after writing Song of Seven Sons, Wen Yiduo called it "the voice of nationalism" in his letter to his good friend Liang Shiqiu? .
The poem "Old Horse" was written in April 1932. The author once said: "After the failure of the 1927 Great Revolution, I completely denied Chiang Kai-shek's regime, but I was very uncertain about the future of the revolution. Life is bitter, and the mood is gloomy and sad. At this time, the thoughts and feelings are connected with the oppressed and suffering peasants, and with the old horse whose back is pressed into the meat. So, I wrote the old horse. "
