创作于 1968 年的《相信未来》与创作于 1979 年的《热爱生命》
作为食指两个创作时期上的代表作，能很明显的体现出食指诗歌在诗
歌意象选择上由明朗到沉静，情感表达逐渐内向化、私人化的特点。
食指诗歌中的变化是由诗人的个人经历与时代的变化发展交互影响
导致的，而在其诗歌特色不断发生变化的同时却存在着精神的传承，
希望依旧是食指诗歌不变的精神内核，体现着食指本人对时代与灵魂
的呼唤。

 Composed in 1968, "Believe in the Future" and created in 1979, "Love Life" serve as representative works of two creative periods, clearly reflecting the evolution in poetic imagery selection from bright to calm, and emotional expression becoming gradually introverted and personalized in Shi Zhi ’s poems . The changes in the poet's work are the result of the interplay between their personal experiences and the development of the times. Despite the ongoing transformation of their poetic characteristics, there exists a spiritual continuity, with hope remaining the unchanging spiritual core of the poetry. This embodies the poet's call to the era and the soul, staying true to their unique voice and perspective.
