Why is Song of Seven Sons called Song of Seven Sons?

Because the seven sons in Song of the Seven Sons refer to seven China territories occupied by foreign powers, namely Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan Province Province, Kowloon, Ahava, Guangzhou Bay and Luda (Lushun and Dalian), they are sons and daughters of the motherland, so they are called Song of the Seven Sons.

Song of Seven Sons is a group of poems written by Wen Yiduo, a famous Chinese scholar, during his study in the United States in 1925. It compared the seven "lost lands" plundered by foreign powers in China at that time to seven children who were far away from their mothers, crying that they were being bullied by foreign countries and longed to return to their mothers' arms.

On the one hand, poetry expresses nostalgia and praise for the motherland, on the other hand, it expresses the curse to the imperialist powers. As soon as this poem came out, it caused a strong chorus of Chinese at home and abroad.
