Hello! Mr. Dai Wangshu (November 15, 1905 - February 28, 1950) was born in Hang County, Zhejiang Province (now Yuhang District, Hangzhou City). Later, he used the pen names Meng Ou, Meng Ou Sheng, Xin Fang, Jiang Si, etc. Chinese modern symbolist poet, translator, etc.
Mr. Dai Wangshu's poems include "Rain Alley", "When the Sky Is Clear", "I Use My Broken Palm", "Smile", "Dream Seeker", "Under the Sunset", "To the Fireflies" and "In "Under the gleam of your eyes" and so on.
Among them, "Rain Alley" is a modern poem he wrote in 1927. The poem describes the lyrical protagonist "holding an oil-paper umbrella" and wandering alone in a long and lonely rain alley. He cherishes a vague hope, hoping to meet "a girl who is as sad as a lilac". This girl has the same color and fragrance as a lilac, but her heart is full of sadness and sadness. He met such a girl, but it was fleeting, "like floating in a dream", and her color, fragrance, "breath-like eyes" and "lilac-like melancholy" all disappeared in the "lament of rain". He still "holds an oil-paper umbrella" and wanders alone in the long and lonely rainy alley, still holding on to hope, and hope floats past "a girl who is as sad as a lilac". In this poem, the poet uses symbolic images and image groups to create a lyrical space and convey inner emotions. He also integrates the artistic nutrition of ancient Chinese poetry, especially the delicate and graceful poetry of the late Tang and Five Dynasties. Not only that, the artistic success of this poem lies in its harmonious musical beauty.
