New Industrial Poetry:The Sublimation of Solitude and Metaphysical Contemplation—A Case Study of Ma Xing's The Job Number of the Earth
New industrial poetry,set against the backdrop of China's rapid technological and industrial development,focuses on the meaning of life for ordinary people in modern civilization and society,as well as the loneliness and alienation experienced by individuals in an industrial society.Ma Xing,following a geological exploration team into vast and boundless areas,depicts the western natural environment with its dual aspects of harsh trials and majestic expansiveness.With genuine empathy for the petroleum workers,Ma Xing writes to honor this community,creating a vision akin to an"industrial pastoral".Through poetic dwelling,the loneliness of"alienation"is dissolved,showcasing an uplifting and optimistic poetic spirit.This further elucidates profound reflections on the universe and life.
