life experience
Wen Jie1923 June 12 was born in a railway worker's family in Dantu County, Jiangsu Province. When I was a teenager, I was an apprentice in a coal factory. /kloc-at the beginning of 0/938, I went to Wuhan to participate in the anti-Japanese national salvation drama. 1938 Join the Party. From 65438 to 0940, he went to Yan 'an, worked in the Northern Shaanxi Art Troupe, studied in the Northern Shaanxi Public School, and created poems, essays, novels and plays that reflected the life of the soldiers and civilians in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. During the war of liberation, he took part in the battle to liberate the northwest as a reporter and went to Xinjiang with the troops. He used to be the director of the interview department of Xinhua News Agency Northwest Branch. 1952 Director of Xinhua News Agency Xinjiang Branch. Later _ specializing in poetry creation. Wen Jie started his literary creation before liberation, but he mainly wrote poems, which attracted wide attention. Wen Jie began to write poems while working in Xinjiang after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). 1955 published a series of poems and narrative poems in People's Literature, such as Love Song of Turpan, Lake Bosten, Sailor's Heart, Guozigou Folk Song, Leaflets at Crossroads, etc. Apart from some of these works describing the life of sailors in the southeast coast and the agricultural cooperative movement, most of them show the new life of Xinjiang brothers. Later, it was included in "Tianshan Pastoral" (1955) together with the author's other poems expressing Xinjiang features.
Most of the lyric poems in "Tianshan Pastoral" have simple "plots"-the author refines life events and pictures into simple harmony-and describes the life scenes of Kazaks, Uighurs and Mongolians living in the foothills of Tianshan Mountain, Heshuo Grassland, Turpan Basin and Bosten Lake with beautiful style-expressing their strong feelings about the new life. These lyrics _ go deep into the inner world of young men and women of brotherly nationalities _ reveal new factors sprouted in their thoughts and feelings due to the drastic changes in life _ loyalty to the motherland _ desire to create a new life _ and pure love. Love poems occupy an important position in Tianshan Pastoral. It is rare to express love so sincerely and strongly in poetry creation in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. These love poems are also concerned because they reveal the close relationship between love and labor and the creation of a new life. What they sing is the love of liberated working people _ love with labor as the highest choice standard. Under the apple tree, the nightingale flew away, and the grapes matured. After the dance, horse racing and so on all reflected this feature. 1958 or so _ Wen Jie lives in Hexi Corridor, Gansu Province _ and participates in the local people's work of changing mountains to control water. Together with the poet Li Ji, he used "headline poems" and other forms to cooperate with the production movement and the central work at that time. Poems in this period were widely used, and some good works were written, which showed the new mental outlook of workers. However, due to the lack of deep feelings about reality and careful brewing and tempering in art, many poems remain on the surface description of life phenomena.
From 1959 _ Wenjie, he published a long narrative poem "The Flame of Revenge". As planned _ Long Poem * * * III. The first book Turbulent Times and the second book Rebellious Grassland were published in 1959 and 1962 respectively. The third part was not completed because of the influence of ten years of turmoil. The long poem is based on the rebellion that crushed the Balikun grassland in eastern Xinjiang in the early days of liberation. The People's Liberation Army carried out the ethnic policy of China's * * * production party _ education _ uniting the deceived masses _ military advance and suppression combined with political struggle _ isolated the reactionaries among Kazakh people _ and won the victory of counterinsurgency. Long poems try to express this complex struggle from a broader historical background-the parallel interlacing of several plot clues-the depiction of many people from all walks of life-and make long poems have the nature of grand epic. Some main characters have their own characteristics. The first part, the image of Bahar, a young herder, is distinct and has a certain depth. The long poem depicts the complexity of this character's personality and shows his final enlightenment process. In addition, the scenery of Balikun grassland and the living customs of Kazakhs are well described in long poems. Because the events involved in this long poem are complicated and there are many characters described, some chapters focus on plot narration. 197 1 year 1 month, persecuted to death by the gang of four.
Role love
On March 7th, 1970, all the Shanghai Writers Association entered the May 7th Cadre School. At this time, Dai Houying divorced because of long-term separation and emotional disharmony with her husband. The emotional breakdown of childhood friends made Dai Houying very painful. Wenjie, who was liberated after the exam, still lived in the bullpen, but because of his great strength, he became the production captain of the company, and the boss was Dai Houying. One pig, one dish and two people are jointly responsible for the arrangement of daily production and labor. On the long embankment between the cadre school and the field, the two men talked about literature, poetry, life and the future, and they talked very speculatively, and gradually became attached to each other. On the afternoon of 65438+ 10/day, Dai Houying knocked on Wen Jie's door, and Dai Houying recorded her feelings at that time in her essay. Wen Jie completely embraced her like the sea. Under the infiltration and caress of the sea, she wandered in the sea with her eyes closed. At this time, the world did not have those stormy waves, only the two of them were left. Soon, an application for marriage was handed over to the workers' propaganda team, and the two made their love affair public. They hope to get married as soon as possible and take care of each other. More than a month passed, and there was no news of the marriage application. An ominous atmosphere began to pervade the two. The Cultural Revolution made the relationship between people very complicated. Dai Houying has a sharp edge and offended many people. Dai Houying hasn't had enough of the shooting in Zhang Chunqiao, so someone must do something about her relationship with Wenjie. At the end of the month, the company had four days off. Just as Dai Houying and Wen Jie were discussing how to use these four days to prepare for the wedding, the company leader suddenly announced that Wen Jie would continue to be on duty. The two men immediately realized that this was a man-made obstruction and lingered on the levee for a long time that day. For them, the situation is getting worse. Wen Jie will be left on duty every holiday, but Dai Houying will be transferred to Jilin soon. Wen Jie finally couldn't help quarreling with the leader. A black-line literary figure living in a bullpen quarreled with the rebel leader, which is a new trend of class struggle. The situation immediately got worse. On the afternoon of February 30th, 65438, the May 7th Cadre School held a meeting to criticize Wen Jie. At the critical meeting, Wen Jie not only failed to reflect on his sins, but even more firmly said that he loved Dai Houying and could not leave Dai Houying, and his love affair with Dai Houying was out of control. This is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire for his criticism. Wen Jie is described as a confrontational movement, which is a dissatisfaction and counterattack against the "Cultural Revolution". Some people even say that Wen Jie is a traitor who climbed out of the dog hole. Dai Houying listened to all this in silence. After the meeting, she rushed to the levee where they lived together, tears streaming down her face. Early the next morning, a poster was broadcast in the whole ultra-left school, which read, "The traitor Wen Jie did not repent, adhered to the black line of literature and art, attacked the proletariat, attacked the revolutionary rebels and corroded the rebels." Take turns to check that the spirit of the two almost collapsed. In order to make Dai Houying feel better, Wen Jie proposed to temporarily stop falling in love, but keep their relationship. Dai Houying's character is unyielding, and her answer to Wen Jie is to resolutely break it.
197 1 On the eve of the Spring Festival, all the staff of the May 7th Cadre School returned to Shanghai for training, and Wen Jie was no exception. It was cold in Shanghai in June+10 in 5438, just like the mood of Dai Houying and Wen Jie at this time. When Dai Houying stood in front of Wen Jie and returned the key of his home to him, the northeast man, who was 1.9 meters tall, fell to his knees and burst into tears. Dai Houying also knelt in front of Wen Jie, crying and telling Wen Jie that she was not worthy of his love.
She is a soulless woman. Wenjie was completely desperate. The last time Dai Houying saw Wen Jie was at the municipal party congress. The meeting didn't end until evening. Wen Jie didn't look at Dai Houying, who was in the same venue, and turned to leave. Out of concern for Wen Jie, Dai Houying followed him from Chengdu Road to Nanjing Road. When Dai Houying followed Wen Jie to the place 100 meters away from Wen Jie's home, she stopped. She knew that she would never see Wen Jie again, and it was better to have a long pain than a short one. Dai Houying brimming with yearning for Wen Jie turned and walked back, and Wen Jie committed suicide at home that night. The poet fell in love with the romantic love in his heart. On the second day after Wen Jie's death, the Shanghai Writers Association immediately held a critical meeting on Wen Jie. Dai Houying appeared in black, which was very noticeable. The meeting was short, but the atmosphere was tense. People waved their fists and called Wen Jie unrepentant. It hurts to be killed in Dai Houying. Dai Houying didn't sleep for seven days and nights. She regretted not following Wen Jie home that night. The people of Sri Lanka have passed away, but the living people are in deep regret. Dai Houying wrote in the book that after Wen Jie's death, she seemed to be suddenly overturned from the boat into the rough sea, and she couldn't see the shore, the boat, the bridge or even a stone that made her breathe.
The love tragedy between Wen Jie and Dai Houying and the death of Wen Jie are a grave in Dai Houying's heart. Dai Houying and Wen Jie fell in love 100 days, 100 days of heartbreak made Dai Houying feel reborn. From this painful experience, Dai Houying began to reflect on what he had done to others through his own experience. After the Cultural Revolution, she began to record her reflections and feelings with a pen. She has written many works that reflect the humanitarian spirit, such as The Death of a Poet, People to People, and Split Brain. Throughout the 1980s, she became the spokesperson of the scar literature that rose after the Cultural Revolution. Through her reflection and repentance, Dai Houying gained the understanding of some people who were criticized by her during the Cultural Revolution, especially Qian Gurong, who was mercilessly criticized by Dai Houying for his humanitarian literary view. He said to Dai Houying, you were too young at that time.
From criticizing her teacher's humanitarianism in those days to writing a masterpiece of humanitarianism, Dai Houying said that a capitalized word "human" was pushed in front of her, and her love story with Wen Jie was an important driving force for her to reflect on life and humanity. However, just as a mature writer was recording her new understanding of people and the world, Dai Houying accidentally fell under the knife of the gangsters who broke into the house. Dai Houying died with Wen Jie 25 years after his death, leaving a record of her human recovery, self-esteem and touching love story.

In the late 1950s, with the intensification of political struggle, Wen Jie's poems became more stirring. /kloc-The contents of the works published by poets after 0/959 can be seen from the titles, such as We Plant Red Flags Everywhere, Flame of Revenge, Turbulent Times and Rebellious Grassland. Because of these poems, Wen Jie is known as "the drum of the Great Leap Forward Movement". At the same time, Wen Jie was gradually involved in the power struggle because of his personality. After the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, Wen Jie was one of the first targets to be purged, because he had bad blood with Zhang Chunqiao, the cultural czar of Shanghai. 1968, Wen Jie was sent to the "cowshed" for quarantine inspection. At that time, his wife had committed suicide by jumping off a building, two of his three daughters "voluntarily" went to the northeast to settle down, and the poet's manuscript "Journey to the Yangtze River" was confiscated and lost forever. And the most terrible fate has not yet arrived.
1in March, 968, Dai Houying, then the fourth leader of the Revolutionary Committee of Shanghai Branch of Writers' Association, was appointed as the head of the investigation team of Wenjie, and Wenjie was quarantined and examined on charges of anti-party and anti-state. However, as the investigation continued, Dai became more and more sympathetic to the convicted poet. Dai is fifteen years younger than Wen Jie. When he was young, he read Wen Jie's patriotic poems. She couldn't understand why such a poet would become a traitor. Just then, Wen Jie's wife committed suicide, and his three daughters were driven out of the house. Dai was ordered to tell Wen Jie about it. 1968 is one of the most absurd moments in China's modern history. It is not surprising that Wen Jie and Dai Houying suffered misfortune. The two fell madly in love in such a bad environment. 1970, Dai hewen was sent to the cadre school. They are equal and know each other better. In the same year 10, the two had openly eaten, walked and had sex under the eyes of the "May 7th Warriors".
Wen Jie and Dai Houying completely underestimated the coercion of the party and government machine. The two applied for marriage and waited for approval according to regulations, but they were rudely rejected; At the same time, Dai Houying learned that he had been reassigned to Northeast Jilin for re-education. Faced with more and more rumors, ridicule and pressure, listening and appealing are doomed to be futile. Zhang Chunqiao even publicly said that this was a "new trend of class struggle", and the workers' propaganda team forcibly separated the couple. Wen Jie finally realized the hopelessness and helplessness of this relationship, so he broke off relations with Dai Houying and embarked on the road that Dai had warned him not to go. 197 1 year 1 month 10, Wen Jie swallowed the poison gas for the rest of his life, which coincided with his love with Dai Houying for one hundred days.
Writing characteristics
Wen Jie is good at grasping pictures full of local color and life interest to express characters. Vivid narration, passionate lyricism, vivid image and delicate psychological description constitute his fresh, elegant, subtle and humorous artistic style. "Tianshan Pastoral" is widely praised because it shows the beautiful love and happy working life of the young people of the frontier ethnic minorities, and Wen Jie's poems are also known as "hymns of labor and love". Turfan Love Song and Guozigou Folk Songs are the two most famous love poems in Tianshan pastoral. Wen Jie wrote sincere love with the help of the life scenes of ethnic minorities. There are many excellent poems in Wen Jie's love poems, such as Riverside and Pursuit. This was really rare at that time. Wen Jie's passionate love poems are quite different from those that described love vaguely and timidly before, but they are consistent with the spirit of the times in the 1950s. Li Yang, a poet, said at that time that Wen Jie's love poems praised the love of liberated working people, the love closely combined with labor, the love subordinated to labor, the love with labor as the highest selection standard and the love with lofty moral principles. In other words, Wen Jie's love poems show new life content and flavor of the times in love life, and link love with the labor of creating a new life. In artistic expression, most of these poems have simple characters and plots, and express their feelings through the description of life pictures. Wen Jie pays attention to the life phenomenon with strong emotional factors, and the plot of the poem is very simple, which makes his poems full of emotions. Of course, Wen Jie's poems are not only love poems, but also many other poems.
