1. Dayanhe: Dayanhe is a child bride. She is humble, has no name, and has no freedom to live. She lives only by selling milk and sweat. She loves Ai Qing very much. She is hardworking, generous, kind and selfless, and does not bow to the hard life. But the ugly old society made her insensitive to some extent.
Downey: Downey's brother died for the revolutionary struggle five years ago. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Donnie was fierce, but gradually she became depressed in a mediocre life and indulged in personal love. Donnie looks a little weak after falling in love. She longs for love and friendship. She needs invitations and urges from others again and again to strengthen her revolutionary heart a little.
However, after attending the torch parade, she gradually came to her senses and finally realized that during the war years, personal joys and sorrows were nothing, and only democracy and revolution were the ultimate goals of passionate youth.
3. Li Yin: Compared with Downey, Li Yin is stronger, more optimistic and knows how to bear hardships. Although she was once played and abandoned by an officer and was admired and laughed at by others, she did not abandon herself to depravity, but ran out of the occupied hometown alone, kept pace with the times, worked hard and devoted herself enthusiastically to the revolution.
4. Black girl: This black girl is very beautiful. She is kind, gentle, hardworking and sad. In the unfair and racist environment of the world, her life is miserable, but in order to survive, she still has to sing a cheerful lullaby for her young master, which makes people unable to help but pay attention and sympathize.
Ai Qing's classic famous saying
The proletariat is both a poet and a madman. From bottom to top, it's none of his business.
Real power comes from truth, and truth is invincible.
Life is my classroom and the people are my mentors.
Revolution must burn its own life, cancel its own name, there is no secret life, no hiding place.
Life is a poem, and everyone should be a poet of his own life.
