"Some People" in Contemporary Cang Kejia
Some people are alive and he is dead;
Some people died, but he is still alive.
Some people, riding on the people's heads: "Ah, how great I am!" " "
Some people bend down to be cows and horses for the people.
Some people carve their names on stones to be "immortal";
Some people are willing to be weeds and wait for underground fires.
Some people can't live if they are alive;
Some people, he lives to live better for most people.
Those who ride on people's heads are crushed by people;
People will always remember those who work for the people!
Those who carve their names on stones, their names rot earlier than the bodies;
Wherever the spring breeze blows, there are green weeds everywhere.
He lives, others can't live, and his fate can be seen;
He lives for most people. People hold him high, high.

The influence of later generations
"Some People" was selected into Lesson 27 of the first volume of the sixth grade of People's Education Press, and it is still selected into the Chinese textbook of middle school.
The technique of this poem is very simple, the language is bright and direct, the position is clear and unambiguous, and the views expressed are also very sharp, so that people can directly understand the emotions contained in it. From beginning to end, the poet repeatedly used concise contrast techniques to write two kinds of people, and the two kinds of people contrasted and set off each other, thus making the great greater and the mean more despicable.
This contrast does not come from a single but rich multi-angle. "Some people are alive/he is dead; Someone is dead/he is still alive. " The poet first pointed out such a phenomenon, and then proceeded from this phenomenon, and then compared it from many angles to explore the reasons from the souls, motives, actions and consequences of these two people.
