The writing background of Yuxiang;
The summer when Rain Lane produced 1927 was the darkest time in the history of China. The bloody slaughter of revolutionaries by reactionaries caused a white terror that enveloped the whole country. Because Dai Wangshu participated in progressive activities, he had to stay at his friend's house in Songjiang, chewing the disillusionment and pain after the failure of the Great Revolution in loneliness, and his heart was full of confused emotions and hazy hopes.
Here, the poet compared the dark and dreary social reality and inner anguish and confusion at that time to a narrow and lonely "rain lane". Dai Wangshu is a unique and influential poet in the modern poetry school in the 1930s.
He is a member of the proletarian youth league and the Left League. He was arrested and imprisoned by the Japanese gendarmerie, and he also sent good wishes to the Great Revolution. Because of the publication of Rain Lane, people called him "Rain Lane Poet".
