It’s like a child was abducted by a kidnapper, and the kidnapper also gave the child a different name, but the child’s heart never recognized the name given by the abductor. The son Macao is closely connected with the mother’s motherland. We are close to each other, and our son was kidnapped from his "infancy" by the invaders. He has been away for hundreds of years. This is really too long, too long. What is the bitterness and pain of this!
The whole poem narrates and describes the long-term suffering after the seven sons were kidnapped by the invaders.
