In pursuit of light and heat, moths jump under the lamp and finally die under the lamp or soak in oil, which is commendable. At the last moment, it got light and heat.
I miss ancient Kuafu. He chased the shadow of the sun and died of thirst in the valley.
In pursuit of light and heat, people would rather give up their lives. Life is lovely. But a cold and lonely life is not as good as a vigorous death.
Without light and heat, wouldn't this world be dark and cold?
If I had a pair of wings, I would be a moth on the earth. I want to fly to the hot sun ball, let me shine in front of my eyes, lose consciousness when my body is hot, and turn into a puff of smoke and a pinch of ash.

Famous comments
Huang Xiuji, a professor of Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University, compiled a Dictionary of Appreciation of China's New Poetry Masters: The sun is quite popular among poets in China's new poetry. During the May 4th Movement, Guo Moruo praised the sun and said, "The sun! Please treat my life as bright red blood! Yo! Please treat all my poems as some golden floats? "
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Ai Qing described himself running towards the sun in Towards the Sun. I feel more generous and loving than ever before/I even want to die on this bright occasion. Ba Jin's "day" is closely related to the feelings expressed in these poems.
Wang Wang, Professor of Chinese Department of College of Literature, Fujian Normal University, "Wang Tan Modern Prose": "The sun" represents light and heat, which is universally recognized. Based on this, Ba Jin contacted everything in the world, focused on the essential needs of life, praised the life feats of moths and Kuafu day after day, and realized that "life is lovely.
But a cold life is not as good as a vigorous death, which expresses the life pursuit of "willing to be a moth on earth" and "flying to the blazing sun ball", even if it is "turned into a wisp of smoke and a pinch of ash". This is the poetic expression of the author's spiritual personality, which has always pursued light and heat, and would rather die than surrender. It is also the basis for this prose poem with only 200 words to be original and chewy.
