1924,
Ye Jiaying was born in a scholarly family in Beijing.
She is a descendant of Yehnala of Manchu.
When Ye Jiaying was 3 years old, he took photos with his younger brother Li Peng (left) and his older brother Ye Jiamou (right).
Grandfather was an interpreter during Guangxu period and worked in the Ministry of Industry.
My father works for China Airlines.
My mother used to be a teacher in a women's vocational school.
Born in such an ancient school tradition,
A family with an enlightened atmosphere,
Ye Jiaying received a good education since childhood.
Father taught her English,
Aunt taught her the Analects of Confucius, arithmetic and calligraphy.
Her uncle had the deepest influence on her and taught her to read Tang poetry and Song poetry.
There are quite a few books in the quaint and quiet garden.
Ye Jiaying stays among books all day,
It laid a solid foundation for reading ancient Chinese.
But she also lost her childhood,
There is no fun in her world except poetry collection.
Just like the games that children knew at that time,
She can't swing or jump rope.
Although I grew up like this, I was accompanied by poems and books.
But after all, children are born with loneliness.
At the age of 15, Ye Jiaying wrote Qiu Die.
Talking about the feeling of loneliness:
I was scared to fly several times, and the evening breeze turned over the dance clothes list.
Sanqiu feels like a dream, and it's cold everywhere.
Later, in high school, Ye Jiaying did well in his studies.
The teacher praised: "Poetry is full of charm because of its genius."
This is just a quiet time to recite poetry.
I can't keep it.
1937 After the July 7th Incident,
War broke out everywhere, and the Ye Jiaying family was also displaced.
My father retreated to the south with the then government.
I haven't heard from you for four years.
For Ye Jiaying,
The bigger changes in life don't stop there.
194 1 year, Ye Jiaying was admitted to the Chinese Department of Fu Jen Catholic University.
Things that should be happy,
But the bad news came too fast, and people were caught off guard.
"My mother is in good health,
It's just that she has a tumor in her stomach,
When I went to the hospital in Tianjin Concession for surgery, my blood was infected. ...
My mother died on the train from Tianjin to Beijing. "
This year, Ye Jiaying was only 17 years old.
Father's whereabouts are unknown, mother died,
She was left alone with her two younger brothers. ...
194 1 year, worn after mother's death.
"My most painful memory is probably hearing nails.
The sound of knocking into the coffin. "
Ye Jiaying lost its only support,
For the first time in my life, I was so embarrassed and so painful.
She wrote "Crying Mother Poetry" with tears in her eyes, and every word contained blood.
I'm still looking forward to an old face, and I always don't return a thousand calls to my mother.
There are no words in the coffin, and the sky will break.
-Excerpts
Fortunately, my uncle and aunt extended a helping hand.
Ye Jiaying's studies were not interrupted, and he was able to graduate smoothly.
It's just that I'm at war and I have the pain of losing my mother.
Ye Jiaying's sadness can be imagined.
"The raindrops in front of the window are broken, and the lonely tree is crying."
"Without chaos, you can say, when will the smoke stop?"
These sad poems are a portrayal of her mood.
But this meeting was only the beginning of her difficult life.
03
Although Ye Jiaying knows children's love well in his poems,
But she never really loved herself.
When she was in college, she seldom talked to boys.
Some male students wrote to her, but she never replied.
As for the reason, Ye Jiaying quoted a sentence from Lv Bicheng:
If you don't meet heaven and man,
But this man didn't show up ...
One teacher worships her very much.
Introduce her cousin Zhao.
For nearly two years,
Zhao proposed several times, but she didn't agree.
Later, someone found Zhao a job in Nanjing.
Zhao once again offered to get engaged,
And said, I won't go unless you promise me.
Because I've never had a boyfriend,
Zhao is good to himself,
Ye Jiaying doesn't want Zhao Zhen to lose his job in Ning because of himself.
Like a loyal scholar,
She was very kind and agreed.
1948 In March, Ye Jiaying came to Nanking.
Marry Zhao.
1948 Ye Jiaying wedding photos
In June165438+1October of the same year, I went to Taiwan Province Province.
Life seems to be stable,
But a more tortuous road awaits them.
1949, the "white terror" spread in Taiwan Province province.
Zhao was imprisoned for various reasons.
The following summer,
Ye Jiaying and her unborn daughter were also imprisoned.
Fortunately, before long,
Ye Jiaying and his daughter were released from prison,
But she lost her job, her income and her dormitory.
Become a homeless person.
In desperation, Ye Jiaying went to her husband's sister's house.
During the day, she took her daughter outside and wandered in the shade.
In case the children disturb others.
In the evening, she didn't go back to the house until everyone was asleep.
Spread a blanket and sleep on the floor in the hallway with my daughter.
It doesn't feel good to rely on others,
But for the sake of her daughter, she told herself not to collapse.
At this time, she wrote her own experience into a poem.
In a word: "turn to your hometown and leave your roots."
Write your own vagrancy;
In a word: "The basin has been knocked over, and Mo Wen has fallen into the well. Who will help?"
Write about the man-made disasters and helplessness he encountered;
In a word: "The rest is the woman who caresses her arms and can swallow it with tears in her eyes at night."
Write your own forbearance and sadness.
Later, introduced by relatives,
Ye Jiaying went to teach in a private middle school in Tainan.
This just settled down.
Ye Jiaying gave lectures to the students when he was in Taiwan Province.
In this way, while taking her daughter to find opportunities to teach and survive,
When asking about her husband,
Three years later, Zhao finally returned safely.
Just after coming back, it didn't bring the joy of reunion.
But it is another kind of pain.
Three years in prison,
Let Zhao's temperament change greatly, change the appearance of the past,
He stopped being gentle and became extremely irritable.
Light abuse, heavy domestic violence.
Ye Jiaying can't stand the ruthlessness and cruelty of this world.
I even thought about ending my life with my daughter.
In the most desperate time,
This is a poem by Wang Anshi, which gives Ye Jiaying spiritual comfort:
The wind blew the tiles into the house and blew my head off.
The tile was also broken, and the bandit bled alone.
All living beings choose their own ways, and each has its own smoke.
Don't be angry with this tile, it's not free.
Ye Jiaying figured it out. She told herself not to complain.
"I just silently bear, but I don't fall.
I had to endure and go my own way. "
She forgave her husband's experience and his temper.
To Ye Jiaying's dismay,
When she gave birth to her second daughter,
Her husband was even more indifferent to her and left home without looking at it. ...
04
The marriage broke up,
But her life with her two daughters goes on,
Ye Jiaying bite the bullet:
No matter how much I've been through,
As long as I live, I must live.
It's hard to survive, but every time I turn to poetry,
The poems and experiences of the ancients always give her some comfort.
Gave her the strength to fight against the world.
Fortunately, fate finally ushered in a turning point.
1966, 42-year-old Ye Jiaying was invited to give a lecture in the United States.
Later, he accepted the employment of Columbia University in Canada.
Settle in Vancouver.
This teaching time warmed Ye Jiaying's broken heart,
As long as she stands on the podium, she will look high.
Poems and songs are handy, and all troubles are forgotten.
Ye Jiaying tells ancient poems to Vancouver children.
This life is her happiest day,
There are favorite poems,
There are teachers' jobs, students who like her,
She thinks this will be her future life,
But unexpectedly, misfortune came again.
The eldest daughter's wedding is in 1974, and the second on the right is Ye Jiaying.
1976,
Ye Jiaying's eldest daughter and son-in-law both died in a car accident.
52 years old, white hair and black hair.
Never see each other again
In those days, she shut herself in a cabin,
Don't talk or cry,
Tears have already run out, and grief has turned into silence.
She can only write a few lines to express her love and miss for her daughter.
/kloc-When she was 0/7 years old, she wrote "Crying Mother Poetry" in despair.
Now she is desperately writing "Crying Female Poems":
I haven't been married for three years, but I can't bear to watch my wings fly together.
Be careful of your wedding dress, it will be cremated. A Niang tears a thousand times.
-First of all,
Several times in my life, wind and rain will force me to come.
The weather is still punishing me at the end of my life, not making me laugh but mourning.
Second,
Ye Jiaying's life,
After many vicissitudes,
I seem to have tasted all kinds of Where are you going?
But even so, she survived,
She hid the pain in her heart and stubbornly faced everything:
When melancholy, the wind and rain are mixed, and the flowers are destroyed.
I have suffered a lot in my life, never hated it, and I won't tell anyone.
Wang Guowei once said: Heaven makes one person do all kinds of harm without any benefit.
After all kinds of misfortunes, Ye Jiaying suddenly realized:
"I spent my life with lifeless consciousness,
Live an optimistic life with a pessimistic mood. "
This is a sentence from her teacher Gu Sui.
Great sadness and pain,
It will give you another life experience.
And Ye Jiaying's experience,
It is to use the rest of my life to promote poetry culture;
What is the scholar's plan to serve the country? He will never forget Du Li's soul.
05
Since leaving Beijing, Ye Jiaying has been thinking about his hometown:
Miss Beijing's ancient city and hometown.
During those years of working in Canada,
She is always looking forward to returning to her old country.
"I often dream of my hometown Beijing,
The yard was still there when I went in,
All the doors and windows are closed,
I also dreamed that my classmates came to see my teacher.
It's near Houhai, where reeds cover the sky.
I just can't get out,
I dreamed that I was listening to the teacher in class.
I also dreamed that I was giving lectures to students in class ... "
1972, Canada and China formally established diplomatic relations.
Ye Jiaying immediately began to apply for returning to China.
1974,
Ye Jiaying finally set foot on her motherland. She came back crying.
Excited, she wrote a long poem "Song of the Chairman of the Motherland":
I have been away from Wan Li for 30 years, and I am homesick all the time.
Once I came back from heaven with tears in my eyes and ecstasy in my heart.
Silver wings penetrate the clouds to recognize old Beijing, and lights move away from homesickness.
How many places have long street been? It happened again today.
-Excerpts
After all, Ye Jiaying is not seeking stability.
But a new starting point.
She always has a dream in her heart.
Is to make China's poetry culture carry forward and succeed others.
She wrote:
When the geese once again passed in the sky, the sky wrote down every word of acacia.
I came late when the lotus withered, but the lotus really wanted to live.
Life is easy to dream, and thousands of spring days are still waiting for Hanako.
Time flies in this life, and it's easy to come to an end.
But she has a "crazy dream", that is, "thousands of springs are still waiting for Hanako".
A thousand years later,
I hope the lotus seeds I planted can still produce lotus flowers.
1978 Spring, Ye Jiaying wrote to the Ministry of Education of China.
After the application for returning to China to teach is approved,
Started a busy career of returning to China to give lectures every holiday.
I first taught at Nankai University.
Ye Jiaying's course is to teach poetry in the Han, Wei, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
She's 55 years old,
The venue is a large classroom that can seat about 300 people.
The first lecture was unprecedented, and the classroom was packed.
Ye Jiaying is wearing a blue China coat and standing on the platform.
Poetry and songs are handy, elegant and passionate.
She recited poems on the platform instead of reading them monotonously.
But with an ancient voice, rhythm, melody,
Sing in a cadence,
Very strange, very unique,
Let the students who have just experienced the "Cultural Revolution turmoil" suddenly be shocked by the heavens and the earth.
A student recalled: Mr. Ye stood on the platform,
From her voice to her gestures, her posture,
It's refreshing for us. We haven't met before. It's really beautiful.
Ye Jiaying's blackboard writing is also beautiful, vertical and traditional.
Talking and writing, the speed of speech is very fast, and the students are shocked.
Since then, the news has spread from one to ten, from ten to one hundred.
Many students from other schools also rushed to Nankai University to attend.
The steps and walls of the classroom are crowded with people sitting or standing.
There are even students sitting at the window.
Temporary tables and chairs,
Go straight to the podium and the door of the classroom.
Ye Jiaying wants to walk into the classroom.
It is very difficult to get on the podium.
Later, when Ye Jiaying left Nankai,
A lecture was given to the students on the last night.
Nobody left when the bell rang.
She and her students are immersed in the world of poetry.
Until the horn of lights-out blows.
Mr. Ye was moved to write a poem:
Talking about poetry during the day and talking about words at night, all my classmates are crazy about me.
Qi Lin's class was difficult until the midnight snack sounded.
This shows that students love her.
