This is an affectionate call from a wanderer far away from home to his mother who misses him day and night. It is an affectionate ode dedicated to his dear mother.
The waves were surging, the wind was blowing, and the cruise ship was sailing toward a strange country amid bumps. We have traveled thousands of miles across the ocean, how long will it take before we can return to our mother's arms? Although the beautiful and majestic Pacific Ocean is outside the ship, the lonely and melancholy poet has no intention of appreciating the wonders in front of him, but with tears in his eyes, I am stacking paper boats with concentration and persistence, and then throwing them into the sea one by one. Although the wind was high and the waves were rough, and the paper boats were wet by the waves and stuck to the bow, she was not discouraged and kept folding them every day, hoping that one of them would drift to the mother she missed day and night.
There are many poems expressing maternal love in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, but this poem has its own uniqueness. With the purity and innocence of a child, the poet found a medium from the children's game world - a paper boat - to express his infinite love for his mother, and used this to unfold his own feelings. The first and second stanzas of the poem are about folding paper boats and throwing paper boats: "I never abandon a piece of paper, / always keep it - keep it." This shows that the poet did not just go on a long trip this time. This action reflects the long-standing longing and deep affection for his mother; "folded into small boats" indicates the large number of folded paper boats and the deep longing for his mother; the poet folded the paper boats After being "thrown from the boat into the sea", "some were blown into the windows of the boat by the wind,/some were wetted by the waves and stuck to the bow of the boat", he wrote a carefully folded paper boat thrown The heartbreaking result of the moment after entering the sea, it hints to the reader that it is actually impossible for the paper boat to float across the sea to his mother, giving people a pessimistic and desperate mood; but the poet still "does not lose heart and folds it every day, always hoping that one day It can only flow to where I want it to go." The place it wants to go to is my mother! As the saying goes, "Sincerity causes gold and stone to open." Can the poet's wish be realized? In fact, this question is no longer The most important thing is that this is the only way for the poet to express his longing. Only in this way can the poet relieve the sadness in his heart. Only in this way can he most fully express the unforgettable feeling of longing. In the third stanza of the poem, the poet misses her so much that she expands her imagination: "Mother, if you see a small white boat in your dream, / don't be surprised that it enters the dream for no reason." The paper boat cannot drift to the mother's side, so it enters the mother's side. In the dream! "This is what your beloved daughter folded with tears, / thousands of rivers and mountains, asking it to carry her love and sorrow back." Point out the theme, the emotion reaches the strongest state, which makes people feel endlessly sad. . This is the most wonderful line in the whole poem.
In this poem, the poet takes the paper boat as the title, expresses his emotions, and gives the paper boat a special meaning. The paper boat symbolizes the loneliness of being wandering and helpless, the heart that misses the mother and the motherland, and the pure and beautiful wishes of the poet.
