"Coal in the Furnace-Feeling for the Motherland" is a new poem written by Guo Moruo, a famous writer, while studying in Japan.
Ah, my lady!
I will live up to your hospitality,
Don't let me down.
I'm doing this for the people I love.
Burn like this!
Ah, my lady!
You should know my predecessor.
Don't you think I am a reckless slave?
In the chest of my black slave,
As long as there is a heart like fire.
Ah, my lady!
I think my predecessor
Originally a useful pillar,
I've been buried alive for years,
Only now have I seen the light of day again.
Ah, my lady!
Ever since I saw the light again,
I often miss my hometown,
I'm doing this for the people I love.
Burn like this!

Poetry rises and falls with the rhythm of poetry and has a long lasting appeal. Guo Moruo once said: "Poetry should be combined with music; It is more about' restricting public recitation', so poetry should be the crystallization of images expressing public feelings. This poem well embodies the poet's artistic pursuit.
