Motherland, My Dear Motherland" is one of Shu Ting's masterpieces, which aims to express the poet's deep affection for the motherland. Compared with similar poems in the past, it has distinctive characteristics of the times and personality - it has both the confused pain and joyful hope of contemporary youth, and the true feelings of her daughter's dissatisfaction and dedication to her motherland Ai Ai. The whole poem has novel ideas and sincere feelings, reversing the superficial and "mythical" praise of some poems in the past, and singing the song of the motherland from a unique perspective.

As the poem sings: "I am your new ideal, just freed from the cobwebs of mythology", the poet scans the poverty and backwardness of the motherland with the eyes of a child, and expresses the deep affection of grief with the heart of a fist daughter: "I am poverty, I am sad."

I am the painful hope of your ancestors, the flower that has not fallen to the ground for thousands of years in the sleeves of "flying to the sky", and after indulging in pain, he expresses the joy of hope: "I am your new ideal", "I am your laughing vortex with tears", "It is the crimson dawn that is spraying thin". In order to realize this beautiful hope, the poet expresses a desire to dedicate himself:

Then take your riches, your glory, your freedom from my flesh and blood. ”

In order to express this innocuous affection, the poet adopts a rhythm that moves from low and slow to high-pitched and fast. Low and slow can be like crying, complaining, mourning, and complaining; Only high-pitched and fast can be enthusiastic and unrestrained, and indomitable. In order to express the poet's sense of integration and dedication to the motherland, the poem uses the technique of staggered exchange and mutual integration of subject and object.

The subject is the poet's "I", and the object is the "motherland", and in the progress of the whole poem, let it become one - I am the motherland, and the motherland is me. The motherland is my pain, I am the sorrow of the motherland; The motherland is my confusion, and I am the hope of the motherland; I am the tears and laughter of the motherland, which is taking off and running on my flesh and soul and body.
