If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a hoarse throat:
This land hit by the storm,
This river of sadness and anger will surge forever,
This endless wind,
And the gentle dawn from the forest ...
And then I died,
Even feathers rot in the ground.
Why do I often cry?
Because I love this land deeply. ...
Sun and land are two concepts that can best summarize the characteristics of Ai Qing's poems. Poets' eager pursuit of light, ideals and a better life is often expressed through the image of the sun. Ai Qing seems to be a Kuafu, pursuing sunshine, light and ideals until his death. On the other hand, the land connected with the poet's blood is also his lifelong attachment. He once said: "This infinitely vast country and infinitely rich rural life-old or new-need its important space in new poetry." Ai Qing's concern for the land is his love for the peasants, the nation and the motherland. I love this land, written in 1938 after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, which is the representative work of Ai Qing's unique land complex. At the critical moment of the country's decline and national peril, Ai Qing extended a childlike innocence to the motherland, expressed his patriotic feelings, ups and downs, and pushed forward layer by layer.
