On November 26, 1855, Polish poet and revolutionary Mitzkiewicz passed away. Adam Mickiewicz (1798.12.4--1855.11.26), a Polish poet and revolutionary, was born into a declining small aristocratic family. At that time, Poland had been divided among Czarist Russia, Prussia and Austria. As Mitzkiewicz said, he was "enslaved from birth and shackled in his infancy." In college, he joined a secret group to oppose the division of Poland among Russia, Austria and Prussia, and actively engaged in the movement for the restoration of Poland. He was arrested by the tsarist government in 1823 and deported to Russia the following year. His early works include the lyrical poem "Ode to Youth", the collection of poems "Ballad and Legend" and the long poem "Gracina". While in Russia, he wrote the Crimean Sonnets and the long poem Conrad Wallenlord. 1823-1832 During the 1990s, he wrote a poetic drama "Sacrifice to the Ancestors"(divided into four parts, the first one only contains fragments) to expose the brutal rule of Tsarist Russia over the Polish people and the cruel persecution of Polish patriotic youth during the partition of Poland. His masterpiece,"Mr. Tadusch", reflects the Polish people's struggle against the rule of Tsar Russia and describes Poland's customs and natural scenery. In 1848, Mitzkiewicz organized a Polish Legion in Rome in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Austrian rule. He arrived in Constantinople in 1855 and planned to organize another army to fight against Czarist Russia, but soon died of illness. In China, people are no stranger to the name Mitzkiewicz. As early as 1907, Mr. Lu Xun introduced his works to Chinese readers and spoke highly of his poems."Even today, those who influence the hearts of Poles have unlimited power."
