Overview

Guo Moruo was falling into the depression of loneliness and hesitation. In the "Preface", the original idealized rebellious "self" image in "The Goddess" has become a "goose with an arrow" and a "wounded warrior", "lying down" On this rough battlefield." Guo Moruo returned to China several times, hoping to see the motherland's new life, but the climax of the May Fourth Movement had passed and the country was still in darkness. He has a deeper hatred and dissatisfaction with reality, and has no choice but to seek temporary relief and comfort in nature or a surreal fantasy realm. He no longer praises the "radiant sun", but looks up at the twinkling "starry sky". He no longer wants to be "barefooted" and always be in love with the "mother" of the earth, but envies the "street market in the sky".
