According to the treaty, China ceded Hong Kong Island to Britain, which opened the prelude for foreign powers to carve up China.

The "seven sons of China" fell apart under the arrogance of imperialist powers such as Britain, France, Japan and Russia. There is a poem that represents the mentality of patriots at that time: "When I was sleeping in China, I didn't know that patriotism meant loving my family. People should wake up today and don't wait for the soil to crack like a melon."
/kloc-for more than 0/00 years, generations of Chinese sons and daughters have come forward for the sake of national prosperity and national independence, throwing their heads, spilling their blood and going forward bravely, and writing magnificent historical poems.

Creation background
Song of Seven Sons was written in March 1925, when Wen Yiduo was in new york. In its preface, alsace-lorraine is translated into Lorraine region, which is located at the foot of Faust Mountain in eastern France. It was ceded to Germany in the Franco-Prussian War and returned after the Treaty of Versailles.
In the poem, Wen Yiduo compares seven pieces of "lost land" plundered by foreign powers to seven children who are far away from their mothers, crying about their strong feelings of being bullied by foreign countries and eager to return to their mothers' arms.
On the one hand, poetry expresses nostalgia and praise for the motherland, on the other hand, it expresses the curse to the imperialist powers.
This paper quotes the allusions in The Book of Songs Li Feng Kaifeng. The full text of the Book of Songs Li Feng Kaifeng is: "Kaifeng is from the south, blowing its heart. I want to die, and my mother has a reward. The wind is blowing from the south, blowing wages.
God, I have no family. So I have a cold, and it is under the shackles. With seven children, my mother is very hard. The yellow bird, with its voice. There are seven children, don't comfort your mother.
There are still some controversies about the interpretation of The Book of Songs Li Feng Kaifeng. The view adopted in the poem is that the mother can't be quiet at home and has to remarry.
Her sons sang this song and blamed themselves, hoping to make their mother change her mind, but now some people think that it is a poem praising maternal love, which sets off the greatness of her mother by having seven sons who are ashamed of not being able to repay her kindness.
