1. "Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming" (Haizi)
◆Haizi, formerly known as Zha Haisheng, people used to call it Haizi, the "Poet of Peking University", was born in Huaining, Anhui Province in 1964. He was admitted to the Law Department of Peking University in 1979 when he was 15 years old. He began writing poetry while in college. After graduating in 1983, he was assigned to work in the Philosophy Teaching and Research Section of China University of Political Science and Law. He committed suicide by lying on the train in Shanhaiguan on March 26, 1989. He was not understood by people for a long time, but he was a poet in the history of China's new literature in the 1970s who made an all-out impact on literature and life. He created nearly 2 million words of poetry, novels, dramas, and essays in an extremely poor and monotonous environment.
◆Haizi had a short life but made outstanding achievements. He is a representative of the new contemporary academic poets. "Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming" is a masterpiece among his short lyric poems. This poem has three chapters. The first chapter creates a picture of a life of freedom and independence, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and a fresh and moist breath blows into your face. The second and third chapters express the cherishment of family and friendship, and a warm and sweet breath comes to my face. This poem says twice "Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming", both expressing beautiful emotions. In terms of outlook on life and values, he affirms secular life, but is not willing to fall into the world and become a secular person. The poet's heart is warm and open at first, but closed and closed at the end. It shows that there are some complex and contradictory things behind the purity, clarity and worldliness of emotions in Haizi's poem. ; "Facing the sea" originally meant facing emptiness and nothingness, but Haizi had a unique discernment and actually saw "the warmth of spring and the blooming of flowers". "The warmth of spring and the blooming of flowers" are the poet's "heart painting" and a gentle land of dreams. It expresses the poet's infinite and far-reaching emotional reverie.
◆Loneliness is an eternal topic for mankind and a problem that must be faced squarely. Nishikawa, who was both a poet and Haizi's friend during his lifetime, said: "For us, Haizi is a genius, but for himself, he will always be a lonely 'king', a 'temporary lover of material', and a 'rural intellectual'. " His loneliness is not that society has alienated him, but that he consciously closed himself off after his setbacks, transferred this loneliness and loneliness to poetry creation, and opened up his own spiritual utopia. This is something ordinary people don't understand. . In his room you couldn't find a television, a tape recorder, or even a radio. He writes in poverty, monotony and loneliness. He can neither dance, swim nor ride a bicycle. This is a real Haizi. He believes that poetry is something that returns freedom and loneliness to human beings. In the famous poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming" written before his death, this is Haizi's wish for his lovers in despair: "Give every river and every mountain a warm name/stranger, I also bless you/May you have a brilliant future/May your lover eventually get married/May you be happy in this world/I only want to face the sea and the spring flowers bloom.” He left his happiness to others, and What he endures is the inexplicable loneliness and loneliness that cannot be eliminated. This is Haizi. He is closed off and doesn't interact with many people at ordinary times. The depression of reality and the several brushes with love make him more like a lonely child. Haizi is actually a lonely singer, a poet with an ethereal heart. On the surface, he is lonely, but by writing poems, he builds a poetry edifice and enjoys the beauty of loneliness alone. He is also a spiritually rich person, forever indulging in to the spiritual home of your own imagination. Thinkers are always lonely. The more profound a person's thoughts are, the harder it is for him to find a confidant in life. In this sense, being awake often means suffering!
◆Haizi’s lyrical short poems have a huge power that transcends time and space and invades people’s blood and souls. Coupled with the tragedy of his life experience, it further promotes the immortality of his short poems. It can be said that Haizi's departure on March 26, 1989 marked the end of the era of pure singing in contemporary Chinese poetry. To this day, we have not seen the emergence of a more pure lyric poem than Haizi's lyric poem.
2. "Me and the Temple of Earth (Excerpt)" (Shi Tiesheng)
◆Shi Tiesheng, a native of Beijing, responded to the call from Beijing to work in Shaanxi Province in the early days of the "Cultural Revolution" and died of overwork. His lower limbs were paralyzed, and he later returned to Beijing to devote himself to literary creation. He is now a professional writer. His works include "My Distant Qingping Bay", "The Story of Queue Jumping", "Summer Rose", "Albizia Julibrissin Tree", etc. "Me and the Temple of Earth" (1991) is the author's dissection of the content, thoughts, form and writing behavior itself of his writing in the past ten years, in order to find reasons for writing (and living). "I started thinking about writing from the day when my legs were disabled. Unexpectedly, this disability never wanted to leave me for the rest of my life. In this way, it asked me a question every moment: Why do you want to live? - This could be me. The motivation for writing. That is to say, to find a sufficient reason for living."
◆Shi Tiesheng once explained his name this way: "The place where I have poured my heart and soul cannot be discarded. I often feel that this is the symbol of my name. , let history live as if it were iron, so as to keep looking at it. It is not to keep looking at these words, but to keep looking at the soul that has been writing with the help of these stumbling footprints, and to see the possibility and whereabouts of this soul. "This passage is also the best interpretation of his work.
◆In this deserted garden, the author spent several years and finally completed his thinking and interpretation of life. This process is arduous but necessary.
Now, let's take a look at the physical struggles and spiritual baptisms the author experienced. Let’s look at Shi Tiesheng’s thoughts on life and death. He believes: “Death is a festival that will inevitably come.” That is to say, death is the goal and life is the process. Therefore, Shi Tiesheng put Confucius’ “If you don’t know life, how can you know death” It was changed to "I don't know death, I know life in peace", so he told others, "People sometimes attach too much importance to us returning to nothingness, and in the end they forget that we came from nothingness." In another of his poems, Shi Tiesheng wrote: "In the afternoon, if the sunshine is silent/Can you hear/Where have the past gone?/At the front of the light, or at the extreme of thinking, time is ignored in existence/ "Life and death are the same" "Life and death are the same", that is, the process is the goal, and death is a return. Death in Shi Tiesheng's eyes has the warmth of returning home.
◆Shi Tiesheng was able to understand the meaning of life, first of all, because he overcame his disability. As mentioned before, Shi Tiesheng's most admired star is Carl Lewis, but when they met, Shi Tiesheng didn't have the slightest hint of cowardice. Because he realized that everyone has limitations, and Carl Lewis, who clocked 9 seconds and 99 seconds, was no exception. Carl Lewis then lost to Johnson. In "My Dream", Shi Tiesheng said, "It turned out that Johnson, who ran 9.79 seconds to defeat Carl Lewis, was doping. What should we say about this? People in Johnson's hometown of Jamaica said this.' Whenever Johnson is willing to come back, we will welcome him. No matter what he has done wrong, he is the son of Jamaica. 'These words moved me deeply. Shouldn't we give more to people with disabilities in their souls? More sympathy and love?" Here, Shi Tiesheng deeply realized that everyone has limitations, and there are also people with soul disabilities that are more serious than physical disabilities, and they need more sympathy and comfort. Therefore, Shi Tiesheng finally emerged from the shadow of disability. I remember Yuan Ye wrote this in his poem "Life": Life begins with one's own cries and ends with the tears of others. The time in between is called happiness; when a person is alive, he cries when he cries, with a voice that is neither sad nor bitter, crying for the country and the people. When a person dies, let others shed honest tears and count them, they are the pearls of life value. The poet used simple words to express the true meaning of life. A person's life is neither long nor short. Whether it's long or short, it's up to you. The meaning of life that runs through it is everyone’s lifelong pursuit. Shi Tiesheng also raised an important topic here, how people should overcome their own suffering and begin to explore the meaning of life.
◆In 2002, Shi Tiesheng won the Annual Outstanding Achievement Award at the Chinese Literature Media Awards. The award speech may be the most accurate summary of him: "Shi Tiesheng is one of the most admirable writers in contemporary China. His writing and his life are completely isomorphic. In his "writing night", Shi Tiesheng used his incomplete body to express the most sound and full thoughts. What he experienced was the suffering of life and expressed it. But it is the brightness and joy of existence, and his wise words illuminate our increasingly dark hearts."
◆The movie "Singing While Walking" is based on Shi Tiesheng's novel "Life is Like a String". ", there is a classic line in the movie that runs throughout: "When a thousand strings are broken, the eyes of the sky are opened." The background of this sentence is that the master of the blind violinist once said that the 1000th broken string can bring light. The blind man's desire for light, and the disabled legs' desire to walk, will never stop. In Shi Tiesheng's works, we can always read this desire, and he has never concealed it.
3. "I Have a Dream" (Martin Luther King)
◆On August 28, 1963, a rally of 250,000 people was organized in Washington, DC, demanding Racial equality. Martin Luther King delivered this speech to thousands of black people and it became instantly famous around the world. There was no speech script for his speech. He told the gathered audience his views on the future in passionate language, which is "I have a dream."
◆Martin Luther King (1929~1968) was an important political leader in the United States. Won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize. He set an example for the rest of the world by fighting for the political rights of black Americans. The message he brought to people was that black people should not be segregated but should be treated like everyone else and should be treated with complete respect. The core of his political views was non-violence. In 1929, Martin Luther King was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in the southeastern United States. He is the son of a Christian pastor. He graduated from college in 1948 and served as the pastor of the church. At that time, black people were not treated as equal citizens in the southern states. Although the United States ended slavery in 1865, the southern states passed their own laws that continued to separate whites and blacks. The law prohibited intermarriage between blacks and whites. In the store. Restaurant. Hospital. There were segregated areas for black people in buses and trains, and black people in southern states did not have the right to vote. After graduation, he believed that social change could be achieved through peaceful revolution rather than war and killing. Throughout his life, he forced the government to liberate black Americans and give them equal rights. In 1964 he won the Nobel Peace Prize. He dedicated his entire winnings ($54,600) to the Liberty Movement. In 1964, a new Civil Rights Act was passed, stipulating that all organizations receiving funding from the U.S. government must treat black people equally.
A new Voting Rights Act became law in 1965. From then on, all black people had the right to vote. His ideas had a significant impact on the African American civil rights movement in the 1960s. The U.S. government has designated the third Monday of January each year (King's birthday is January 15) as a national day of remembrance since 1986. Since 1987, Kim's birthday has also been one of the United Nations commemorations.
◆Dreams are the tapestry of life; when a person has no dreams, his vitality is completely exhausted. A life without dreams is a bleak, poor, and empty life. Passionate expectations for life, brave pursuit and persistent belief remain in the heart as the legacy of youth. Therefore, people must have dreams and keep working hard for them. From the famous speech "I Have a Dream" by Martin Luther King, the American black leader who pursued equal rights, to Qu Yuan, the famous patriotic poet in ancient my country, "The road is long and long, I will search up and down" to the pioneers of modern revolution. Dr. Sun Yat-sen's "taking the world as our own responsibility" tells us that behind success there is the support of dreams.
4. Zhu Zhiwu retreated the Qin army ("Zuo Zhuan")
◆Qin and Jin besieged Zheng, and Zheng was in danger. "If Zhu Zhiwu is allowed to see Qin Jun, the army will retreat." Lost Zhu Zhiwu's recommendation can be said to be a wise eye for recognizing heroes. Zhu Zhiwu was ordered to go out at night, and wisely spoke to the king of Qin. Duke Mu of Qin was sincerely convinced, and the Qin army returned. Jin Wengong faced the sudden change of wind and rain, but he still left resolutely. Zheng Guozhong was committed to turning danger into safety.
◆In the face of national crisis, Zhu Zhiwu understands the righteousness and never looks back; in the face of the powerful Qin, Zhu Zhiwu is neither humble nor arrogant, eloquent, intelligent and witty. His patriotism, regardless of personal gains and losses, his patriotic spirit of always thinking about Zheng Guo's safety, and his confidence and courage to go to the enemy camp without looking back are all worth learning from. Zhu Zhiwu's wisdom, courage and strong patriotism overflow between the lines.
◆Zhu Zhiwu "came out at night" and went to Qin alone. He persuaded the king of Qin with his eloquence. His determination to never look back, his confidence, his neither humbleness nor arrogance, and his eloquent conversation all need to be shown in the recitation.
◆In 1955, the famous scientist Qian Xuesen overcame many obstacles to return to China. At that time, the US Navy Director Kimball said: "I would rather shoot this guy than let him leave the United States, no matter what Wherever he is, he is worth five divisions. "Can one person's strength be worth five divisions? Today we are going to learn "Zhu Zhi Wu Retreats the Qin Master" which will tell us the answer.
◆Zhu Zhiwu: In a roundabout way, he persuaded Uncle Qin to retreat based on the other party's vital interests. It can be seen from this that there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies between countries, only eternal enemies. Benefit. This was true in ancient times, and it is true in modern times as well.
◆There is a poem by Cao Cao: The old man is in trouble, but his ambition is thousands of miles. In his old age, the martyr is full of ambition. Throughout the ages, there have been many people with lofty ideals, no matter how unfair society and fate were to them, but at critical moments, they still stood up and devoted their time and energy to the country and the people. Zhu Zhiwu is such a person that we admire endlessly.
◆Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times at the thatched cottage, and Zhuge Liang talked to him about the general situation of the world. It can be said that Zhuge Liang was preparing to leave the mountain before he came out, and the same was true for Zhu Zhiwu. Although he was not recognized for his talent, he did not give up his hope. It's not that Zhu Zhiwu doesn't want to do something in his career, his heart has never given up the desire to "fly into the sky". He is constantly paying attention to the world situation and thinking about the path to stabilize the world and help the people achieve their ambitions. You think about how a little "Bima Wen" could be so clear about the history of Jin, the character of the king of Jin, the psychology of Uncle Qin, and the grievances between Qin and Jin. The lofty sentiments of "the old man is brave but has the ambition to reach a thousand miles" is undoubtedly the main reason why future generations admire them.
