Shancheng formed one of the most significant features of his early poetic art (such as mountains, streets) by describing specific sensible things to arouse feelings, develop associations, capture and select images to condense them into images.
Ai Qing used revolutionary realism to sing deeply and melancholy about the suffering and misfortune suffered by the land and people of the motherland (the woman walked slowly barefoot), reflecting the misery of the Chinese nation At the same time, his poems inspired thousands of people who did not want to be slaves to fight bravely for the sacred land.
Mountain City
Author: Ai Qing
No matter where the street ends, you can see a mountain. Dark green mountains and gray-green mountains surround this dark, dark ocher town.
The street was paved with stones, and a cow walked through the street with heavy footsteps.
The street stalls are lined with: onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, and snow-white and fat radishes.
The sun is too lazy to climb the mountain - it only appears from the zenith at noon every day. Other times, what passes here is: rain, fog, and sudden strong winds.
Women walked slowly with bare feet, their laboring hands hanging down like potatoes; old men took out tobacco from wooden boxes, their hands and faces wrinkled and burnt like tobacco leaves. The wooden house was also burnt brown due to firewood smoke.
At night, a man came out of the alley. In the darkness, the sparks of pine candles made his sincere face red.
