Appreciate:
In the poem Red Candle, we can feel the author's strong dedication. The poet chose the red candle with national characteristics as the object of his poetry. In our traditional national customs, red candles are often used for festive festivals, but in this poem, the author gives it a new meaning. The poet symbolized his heart with a red candle. His heart is burning, creating light for mankind and the world.
In the social environment at that time, although the author could not find an ideal way to save the world, he did not regret his struggle at all. Poets are more worried about the darkness of reality and the addiction of the world. He wants to break the old feudal shackles with his sincere heart and awaken the people who are sleeping in the dark.
