Author: Gu Cheng

The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to look for light.

This "generation", just two lines, clearly outlines the firm image of a group of explorers. It is an image combination composed of perceptual images such as "night", "me" and "black eyes". They have their own objective meaning, and the intrinsic meaning they represent is beyond the inherent objective meaning of these words. Together with the explanation of the title, they have a strong symbolic significance, that is, "night" symbolizes the shadow on the soul of that generation, and "eye" symbolizes the eyes that a generation is exploring and eager for light.

Gu Cheng is a representative figure of China's misty poetry school in the new period, and is known as a "fairy tale poet" who sees the world with a childlike innocence. Compared with Shu Ting's elegance, charm, beauty and sadness, Gu Cheng's poems are naive. However, in Gu Cheng's poems full of dreams and childishness, there is an adult sadness. Although this sadness is faint, it is as heavy as lead. Because this is not only the poet's personal sorrow, but also the sorrow of a generation after awakening, and the sorrow of an awakened generation to see the reality in front of them.
