Her poems reveal a childlike innocence, which is transparent, pure and lovely.
After his death at the age of 27, all his works were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but before his death, he encountered a changeable life situation;
She is Jin Meiling, a Japanese nursery rhyme poet in the 1920s.
Jin Meiling, formerly known as Jin, 1903 was born in Otsu Village, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and began to publish his works at the age of 20.
The ill-fated Jin Meiling embraced the world that was not good for her with the tone of a child.
After learning what happened to Jin Meiling, people will inevitably sigh why the world kissed her with pain, but she could respond with a song.
At the beginning of the 20th century, there was no war and life was relatively stable. Jin Meiling was born in a small fishing village, and everyone around her made a living by fishing.
Jin Meiling, like most people, lives at the bottom. For her family, reading and loving writing poetry is undoubtedly the best way out.
But unfortunately, when she was three years old, her father died suddenly and her family collapsed. Because the pillar fell down, it proved that the economic and spiritual support had dissipated.
At that time, Japan was a patriarchal society. After his father died, his brother was adopted by his uncle, and his mother started a business to supplement the family.
Her childhood was interspersed with poverty, turmoil and lack of fatherly love, and some distorted local customs were a major turning point in her later suicide.
When Jin Meiling 16 years old, her aunt died, and Meiling's mother married Meiling's uncle.
Meiling, who graduated from high school, had to drop out because her family was too poor. After dropping out of school, she helped in her bookstore, as if she had formed a deep indissoluble bond. Fortunately, she opened a bookstore instead of a bar, which made Meiling go to a paradise that helped her.
She began to write poems, get inspired and send her works to magazines. The response was very enthusiastic. Such enthusiasm finally made Meiling reap a little sweetness.
During Meiling's creative journey, she was always accompanied by her own brother, who didn't know his blood relationship with his sister and thought he was Meiling's cousin.
In Japan at that time, cousins could fall in love and get married, and the love of biological brothers was the biggest joke for Meiling.
My younger brother, who has never known the truth, is still trapped in the ocean of love. In order not to let my brother know the truth, my uncle married Meiling to a clerk in the bookstore!
It was from here that Meiling broke her wings like an angel, went to the wrong place, was locked in the swamp of hell and suffered a lot.
Jin Meiling's husband embodies all the characteristics of love rat. He hangs out with many women all day without asking about his work, and even makes Jin Meiling suffer from promiscuity.
At this time, Meiling already has a daughter. Jin Meiling, who is sick, is getting weaker every day, and only her daughter is the motive force for her survival.
Seeing that her husband was getting more and more presumptuous, all her efforts were in vain. Jin Meiling made a brave decision to divorce her husband and win custody of her daughter.
But it's too difficult. In that patriarchal era, even though Meiling's income was many times higher than her husband's, it was finally decided that she should be raised by the man.
The last straw to kill a camel.
Jin Meiling, who lost custody of her daughter, was very disappointed. Even though writing poetry has brought her countless sweetness and happiness, even though her daughter's innocent smile has cured her dry heart, she has already thought of death.
Once you have this idea, you can't go back.
The year she chose to leave this world, she was only 27 years old!
That year Japan lost a talented poetess!
A rare nursery rhyme poet in that era.
After reading her poems, you will not only smile, but also wonder why she can write every poem through hardships like a pure four-year-old child.
Just like a child telling you about the mountains, rivers, flowers, folk customs, human scenery and so on in a tender tone.
Every poem by Jin Meiling reveals how much she loves the world.
Every fragment of life can be every winding river she wrote in ink.
Her poems are neither sad nor decadent. Even if they are very sad, they will only be coquettish and slightly bitter.
For example, this song "Red Boat" that misses my father:
A pine tree
A pine tree
Are you looking out at the sea?
I'm human, too.
Look at the sea.
The blue sea,
White clouds,
Still can't see.
The red boat.
Father is on a red boat,
I once met my father in my dream,
Father,
A pine tree
A pine tree
Tell me when to come back.
She will also write a warm and encouraging poem, such as "Towards the Bright Side":
On the bright side,
Look on the bright side.
Even a leaf,
Also in the direction of the sun.
Grass in the bushes.
Look on the bright side, look on the bright side.
Even if we burn our wings,
Also fly in the direction of the flashing lights.
Flying insects at night.
On the bright side,
Look on the bright side.
Even if it's just spacious,
Also in the direction of the sun,
People who live in cities.
She can only write a short and pithy poem, which will make you wonder what kind of mood she was in when she wrote this poem, such as this cricket:
a cricket
fold
One leg.
I scolded.
Bullying its cat.
Autumn sunshine
White is dazzling.
a cricket
fold
One leg.
It is a pity that all her poems were published completely after her death and flowed in the hearts of many readers.
Therefore, some people say that it took 50 years to know and get close to this lovely poet Jin Meiling.
If you look closely, you will find that almost every optimistic and positive "great man" has experienced the hardships of life.
Such as Su Shi, milosz and Li Yu.
Through the beauty they convey, we also bravely see the beauty.
In fact, if possible, I would like to have a quiet leisure life without ups and downs. Poets are human beings, ordinary people.
During my 27 years in Jin Meiling, there were both gold pigments and gray pigments. What is touching is that when we hold up her poems now, we will always put aside her unfortunate fate and see clear poems.
Finally, I hope we can catch good luck in 1 1 month until 2020.
Read through Jin Meiling's poems again before going to bed, and you will find that they are all very pleasing to the eye.
good night
