Prison Song is a vernacular narrative poem written by Ye Ting, a modern revolutionary, when he was imprisoned in Zhazidong, Chongqing. This poem was written in 1942. The whole poem is divided into two sections, which are clear and easy to understand, and seem to blurt out without saying anything, but the emotion is intense, the momentum is heroic and the artistic conception is clear and complete. This is the true expression of the poet's noble sentiment, which makes readers feel shocked and moved by the awe-inspiring righteousness in the poem and respects the poet's noble personality.
Using the "living coffin" as a metaphor for this earthly purgatory that imprisoned revolutionary intellectuals, on the one hand, exposed the atrocities of the Kuomintang reactionaries in brutally persecuting revolutionary intellectuals and slaughtering the producers here; On the other hand, it also reveals that the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang is bound to perish.
