This poem "I Have a Strong Motherland", written at the scene of the "5·12" Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, still touches millions of readers.
“This is a total explosion of my true emotions.” Ye Lang, the poet’s author, said. "Wenchuan is the first place I worked after graduating from university. I worked in Yingxiu Town and have a special affection for that land. The secretary of the Wenchuan County Party Committee is my former colleague. After the earthquake, I could not get in touch with him. Contact. You can imagine how I felt at that time!" Ye Lang said.
After the earthquake, Ye Lang has been working hard at the Chengdu Earthquake Relief Headquarters. During those days on duty, the earthquake relief headquarters’ newspapers and electronic screens kept reporting on the earthquake relief situation in the disaster areas, conveying information about earthquake relief for people across the country. On May 14, Chengdu Daily reported the story of Wu Zhonghong, a teacher in Chongzhou: When the earthquake occurred, Wu Zhonghong asked students to evacuate the classroom first. When he came out, he found that two students had not followed, so he went against the flow of people. He went up to save the students, but was swallowed by the earthquake. It was this report that deeply moved Ye Lang. "In those days, like everyone, I was constantly moved."
Being moved again and again warmed Ye Lang's heart: From the electronic screen in the command center, Ye Lang saw tears in his eyes. In tears, Prime Minister xx and xx stood on the land deformed by the earthquake, commanding the military and civilians to fight against the disaster; they saw the people's soldiers jumping from a helicopter at an altitude of 5,000 meters in order to rescue people trapped in the "isolated island"; they saw brothers across the country Sisters lined up in a long line, waiting to donate blood; they saw overseas compatriots lighting red candles to pray for the people in the disaster area...
Ye Lang poured his passion into his pen and wrote his first free-style poem in his life - " I have a strong motherland." "This excitement will always stay in my heart. I am very proud that behind me is a strong motherland!" Ye Lang said.
The poem reproduces the charge of party and government cadres and People's Liberation Army soldiers in dangerous times, the comfort and treatment of medical staff, the sacrifice of teachers in distress, the dedication of volunteers and earthquake relief personnel, and the whole country. The deep concern and best wishes of the people and compatriots. The whole poem consists of nine parts. Each part of the first eight parts is a pearl-like crystal teardrop, reflecting faces: familiar faces, unfamiliar faces, beautiful faces, kind faces, young faces. Faces, busy faces, and the cutest faces, "These faces form the complete face of China and shape the strong image of the motherland in the face of disasters." The ninth part is a cry wearing pearls: China can overcome Catastrophic disasters can overcome all difficulties! After the poem was written, it spread quickly, and the heartfelt words from the front line of earthquake relief deeply moved the readers.
The poem is a chant and three sighs, telling the power of the motherland, intertwined with gratitude, strength and determination to win.
Although disasters have destroyed their homes and taken away the lives of their compatriots, Life, but disasters cannot overwhelm the descendants of Yan and Huang, nor can they frighten the sons and daughters of China, because we have a strong motherland! The poem tells the world with an impassioned declaration: At that moment, I have a strong motherland. The motherland comforts the injured children with its warm hands, and lifts the fallen children to stand up bravely with both hands!
