On the alienation theme in China's migrant worker poetry

The poetry of migrant workers is a type of marginalized poetry rising in China in the 1980s. The poet expresses the individual's real life experience through poetry, showing the alienated daily life of the migrant workers at the bottom of the process of modernization. Based on Marx's theory of estranged labour, this paper explores the alienation theme of working poetry from four aspects: The alienation of human's species being, the alienation of the relationship between people, the alienation of the relationship between people and society, and the alienation of the relationship between humans and nature.
