Writing background:

When Lu Xun was in Beijing in the 1920s, he was deposed and wanted by the Beiyang warlord government, and was attacked and framed by some literati. In Shanghai in the early 1930s, Lu Xun was threatened and persecuted by the then Kuomintang rulers.

At that time, the Kuomintang rulers banned books and newspapers, closed bookstores, promulgated bad publishing laws, wanted writers, arrested and detained left-wing writers and secretly executed them. The author Lu Xun's situation is very sinister.

According to Lu Xun's Diary, on 1932 10/2, Yu Dafu and Wang Yingxia hosted a banquet for the writer Lu Xun in Jufeng Garden. Lu Xun was deeply impressed by the conversation seven days ago, and Liu Yazi and his wife also attended the dinner.

"Bow your head a thousand fingers, bow your head and be a willing ox." It is the core and essence of the whole poem and embodies the author's proletarian world outlook. The first four sentences describe the situation and combat action, and reveal deep feelings, pushing the ideological realm of the whole poem to the peak.

These two poems express the author's strong love and hate for the people, and show the noble character of the author who will never compromise before the enemy and do his best for the people. This sentence is the concentrated expression of the theme of the whole poem and the climax of the author's emotional expression.

"Hiding in a building is unified, and Xia Chunqiu is in charge of him in winter." Among them, "Xiao Lou" is the place where the author lives. "Hide" means hide for a while. The word "hide" is a combination of wisdom and courage. The first sentence is very interesting about the author's fighting environment and the characteristics of the art of being good at fighting at that time, which reflects the author's confident and optimistic mood and expression.

The last sentence is about the determination to fight bravely to the end. This reveals the fighting content of the previous sentence more clearly and makes the characteristics of Zhuang and He He more prominent.

It not only shows the author's determination to fight for the revolution no matter how the situation changes and how difficult the future is, but also satirizes the crime of betraying the national interests of the Kuomintang rulers at that time. The ending of the pun reinforces the theme of the poem.

This poem is a lyric poem, expressing the resentment of Lu Xun, the author, who was persecuted and ran into a wall everywhere. It effectively exposed and attacked the bloody rule of the Kuomintang at that time, and vividly showed the author's hard-core character and brave and resolute fighting spirit.
