The image of "land" embodies the poet's deep love for the motherland and mother earth, and his deep sense of hardship for the fate of the motherland. Patriotism is an inexhaustible theme in Ai Qing's works, and I love this land is the most incisive expression of this feeling.
The image of "the sun" shows the other side of the poet's soul: passionate and endless pursuit of light, ideal and a better life. In the poet's eyes, the eternal theme of "Sun" symbolizes China's bright future and China's belief in victory, and it contains the poet's yearning and pursuit for light, ideal and a better life.
Poetic style
Poetic style: Before liberation, Ai Qing cursed the darkness and eulogized the light with deep, intense and unrestrained brushwork; After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he continued to praise the people, praise the light and think about life. His "Return" songs are more extensive in content, deeper in thought, deeper in emotion, more diverse in techniques and more sophisticated in art.
Poems published after the founding of the People's Republic of China include Cheers, Gem Red Star, Cape, Colored Poems, Exotic Poems, Snow Lotus and Selected Poems of Ai Qing. Ai Qing became a famous poet with his singing style full of artistic individuality, and practiced his poetic aesthetic proposition of "simplicity, simplicity, concentration and liveliness".
