Bing Xin’s great Madonna story, core tip, she is a cultural elder of the same age, the last veteran of the May Fourth New Literature Movement, and a famous female writer in China in the 20th century , children's writer, literary translator and outstanding social activist. , Her lofty qualities have won high praise from people across the country, and she is praised as "the conscience of the Chinese nation in the 20th century" and "the grandmother of contemporary Chinese literary circles." , Discovering Bing Xin's calligraphy works in the United States. In August 1996, I went to the United States for inspection and found Bing Xin's long poem "Because We Are Still Young" written with a brush on the wall of the home of the famous Chinese American Mr. Zhao Haosheng. ** *Line 74, she wrote in this poem: "There are more commemorations of national humiliation than festivals," "This is the China of my youth!", "...", "Yesterday, a young man came to see me, and gave me his Read new poems to me. , The title of the first poem is:, "Because we are still young." , This topic aroused my poetry─, I looked at his enthusiastic young face, I gently followed him and read: "Because we are still young.", ..., I have never been young when I was young. !, What surrounded me at that time were: Continuous imperialist beacons, Feudal demons everywhere, Mountains of bones, and rivers of blood and tears. Zhao Haosheng said: "In 1973, I broke through numerous obstacles. , I finally returned to my long-awaited motherland. During this foreign affairs arrangement, I visited the great writer Bing Xin. She copied the long poem "Because We Are Still Young" with a brush and gave it to me. I particularly liked it. I hung this poem solemnly on the front wall of my apartment in New York. To this day, I can still recite this long poem and recite it with emotion in many speeches.” This poem and this calligraphy work are very precious and extremely rare among Bing Xin's handwritings. So, I took a lot of photos and videos about it. In March 1997, with the help of teacher Zheng Qing, I visited Bing Xin’s daughter Wu Qing and son-in-law Chen Shu. They said very happily: “I didn’t expect my mother to have such a long calligraphy work, let alone this one. The work is in the United States. Thank you very much for sending us this calligraphy photo. Can you give us a copy of the video tape you took?" I said, "Yes!" So we talked in a relaxed atmosphere. Two and a half hours. The sincerity, frankness, humility, kindness and outspoken sense of history and social responsibility displayed by Wu Qing and Chen Shu in their conversations left an unforgettable impression on me. , Finally, I finally expressed our strong desire to visit Old Man Bing Xin. Wu Qing said: "It is really troublesome to see my mother now. My mother's physical condition is not very good and she looks different every day. She is old, and my mother is indeed old. After all, she is 97 years old. When the weather is good, her condition is stable. You can also take a look at it. The weather is not good today. It is very windy, which has a great impact on my mother's body. Occasionally, my mother is sleeping when friends come to visit her. I couldn’t take a photo when I was there, which really disappointed everyone. It’s really not easy to meet my mother once, and I can only decide on a temporary basis. Even if I decide on a day, I still can’t say whether I can meet her on that day. There are many factors. Some time ago, CCTV wanted to film a program about my mother, but it didn’t happen in the end. Many friends who wanted to see her didn’t get their wish,” Chen Shu said when he heard that Zheng Qing also had this wish. : "Zheng Qing's leg is hurt and it's hard to walk, so don't let her run back and forth." I said: "When we left Zhengzhou, Teacher Zheng kept telling us that if there is a glimmer of hope, we should try to see her. She must come. No matter what the situation is, there are several flights from Zhengzhou to Beijing every day, and it’s pretty fast.” Chen Shu said, “Let’s give it a try! Next Monday is too tight. It will be Thursday afternoon. If you can, I will see my mother, but the time should not be too long. I think my mother is doing well these days. I don’t think it will be a big problem on Thursday, so I’ll let you see her.” I was so happy when I heard this. I immediately made a long-distance call to Zhengzhou, told Zheng Qing the good news, and made an appointment to meet in Beijing. We finally got our wish to visit the 97-year-old Bing Xin at 4 pm on March 6 in Room 304 of Beijing Hospital. , That day, old man Bing Xin lay quietly on the bed.
She smiled as we came in and greeted us with warm and kind eyes. The white quilt was covering the old man's body, and her amiable smile made people feel friendly. I quickly stepped forward and presented the 100 heavy red roses that I had been holding in my hands to Old Man Bing Xin. The old man stared at the 100 red roses with joy and said softly: "Thank you." Wu Qing said: "It's so beautiful!" We carefully placed the flower basket on the bedside table, and the whole room suddenly lit up. Our Lady
