Air's writing background

Ai Qing was born in dystocia, and the fortune teller said that his life was "his parents'", so he was sent to a poor farmer's house to raise him. At the age of five, he was taken home and began to study, but he was still given the cold shoulder. He is not allowed to call his parents, parents, only uncles and aunts. As he himself said, he grew up in an atmosphere of indifference and discrimination.

In July 1932, 12, Ai Qing and others 12, the youth were arrested. The Kuomintang reactionaries accused these unarmed youths of "subverting the government" for "urgent crimes against the Republic of China", and Ai Qing was sentenced to six years in prison. Dayan River-My Nanny was written on the day when the poet was in prison. Seeing the snowflakes flying all over the sky, he thought of the snow-covered nanny grave and wrote this poem praising the working people and cursing the dark world. Ai Qing 1 5 years old spent his childhood in Dayanhe's home. From the third verse of this poem, we can see that Dayanhe loves his baby very much. The children of Dayanhe and Ai Qing are like brothers, crawling in the mud and rolling in the soil. Dayanhe not only nurtured Ai Qing's growth with sweet milk, but also left a deep imprint on Ai Qing's young mind with her simple, kind and hardworking personality and the emotion and virtue of working farmers. Ai Qing often said that all he felt in the landlord's house was "discrimination and indifference". "Only in Dayanhe's home can I feel warm and loved. Dayanhe loves me very much, and I love her. " "Five years in Dayanhe's home has infected me with the kind of melancholy and sadness of farmers, and made me have a hazy initial impression on farmers in China. Therefore, when he later embarked on the road of poetry creation, he praised the land, the peasants and the working people's struggle against darkness, oppression and cruelty. People call this poet "the descendant of farmers" and "the son of farmers".

In the late 1930s, when a poet met Ai Qing in Shanghai, he said excitedly, "There are Rhine River in Germany, Seine River in France and Nile River in Egypt ... We can proudly say that China has Dayan River!" Many years later, some people misunderstood "Dayan River" as a river. However, if Ai Qing's poem, which has a creative history of more than half a century and won a high reputation at home and abroad, is compared to a huge river, then its inexhaustible source is the "Dayan River"! Its feelings, its theme and its beauty can all be answered from this source.
