The writing background of Dai Wangshu's Rain Lane. There is also the writing background of Xu Zhimo's Farewell to Cambridge. The simpler the better.

Briefly introduced the writing background. The summer of 1927 produced by Rain Lane was the darkest time in the history of China. The bloody slaughter of revolutionaries by reactionaries caused a white terror that enveloped the whole country. Because Dai Wangshu participated in progressive activities, he had to stay at his friend's house in Songjiang, chewing the disillusionment and pain after the failure of the Great Revolution in loneliness, and his heart was full of confused emotions and hazy hopes. Here, the poet compared the dark and dreary social reality and inner anguish and confusion at that time to a narrow and lonely "rain lane". Rain Lane-dark and dreary social environment, depressed inner environment.

The Writing Background of Farewell to Cambridge

1920 Xu Zhimo traveled across the ocean to study literature from the United States to Britain. At Cambridge University in London, as a special student, he took classes at will and spent more than a year in real leisure. According to his later recollection, it was the happiest day of his life. On the beautiful He Kang River, he lies on his back on the green lawn dotted with stars and yellow flowers, or reads books or looks at the clouds in the sky. Sometimes go boating in the blue waves of Hekang River. He was completely intoxicated with the embrace of nature. On the eve of leaving London, he wandered in Cambridge on a beautiful evening, lingering and writing this poem.
