What impresses me most is that I love this land. This poem was written in the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. At that time, people lived in a world in dire straits, screaming helplessly and trying to do something for the country, but there was nothing they could do. So is the author.
At the beginning of this poem, the author compares himself to a bird. Birds are small and short-lived in this ecological environment. Birds are hardworking. From the day they were born, their mission was to learn to fly, fly around the motherland and sing for the motherland until the moment they died. But when the country is in danger, we should also try our best to sing for the motherland. The "hoarse throat" shows us a tortured bird. I can't sing beautiful songs, but I'm still singing. This is its voice with life, expressing its indomitable persistence and never giving up on the land.
It is under such a root that poetry further develops the description of birdsong: land, river, wind and dawn. They were all attacked by the storm, full of indignation and struggle, and even the feathers of the birds below rotted in the ground. When the bird sings about the earth, the river, the wind and the dawn, it is integrated with the earth and thrown into its embrace. It expresses the poet's attachment to the land and implies that he is willing to give his life for the motherland.
"This land was attacked by storms, which always stirred our river of grief and indignation, this angry wind blowing endlessly, and the incomparably gentle dawn in the forest" seems to be a contrast, but in fact, Storm, Endless Blowing and River of Sorrow tell us that the land that Ai Qing loved at that time was being attacked. "River" and "wind" symbolize the indomitable spirit of the people; "Sorrow" and "anger" show the people's anger and high-spirited fighting spirit against the atrocities committed against China; "Dawn" symbolizes the liberated area full of vitality and hope, and "incomparable tenderness" expresses people's yearning for it.
The last paragraph directly expresses the love for the motherland. The word "deep" may still be unable to express Ai Qing's feelings for this land, and the ellipsis behind it seems to have endless emotions surging, which makes readers immerse themselves in it and think deeply. In the question-and-answer session, this poem pushed the mood of the whole poem to a climax and expressed the most sincere love for the motherland. Ai Qing combined personal joys and sorrows with the joys and sorrows of the times, reflecting the suffering and destiny of his own nation and people. Ai Qing's love for the motherland, we see it in our eyes and admire it in our hearts! Ai Qing's spirit, we are worth learning!
Ai Qing's poems have both ancient style and modern rhyme, which perfectly combine the language and culture of China for thousands of years and turn into a blue melancholy. Although I may prefer optimistic and open-minded poetry, Ai Qing's poems are more about his love for the motherland and special spiritual cultivation, from which the poet's great self-care for the country and the people is extracted. "If I were a bird, I should sing with a hoarse throat, this land hit by the storm? Why do I often have tears in my eyes, because I love this land deeply. " Where will the poet's feelings go from his own sadness? There is only one answer-the tomorrow of the motherland. The poet walked out of the inner experience and worried about the future of the motherland. I can't imagine the overloaded power in the poet's heart. He hopes to get more responsibility-"taking the world as his own responsibility". This is the source and ideological basis of China's intellectual creation.
Reading Ai Qing's poems gives me a feeling that my soul has found a home, just like the dawn when I wander in the dark, which illuminates the whole front. I like Ai Qing's poems because he has a broad mind. I like Ai Qing's poems because they are natural and have the greatest skills, and they are the products of profound cultural accumulation and thorough digestion. I like Ai Qing's poems, because I love the land and sunshine that raised us as much as poets!
