Some things are unshakable and unchangeable, such as loyalty to the country and the nation, such as the position of some admired people or relatives and friends around us, such as the basic judgment of a work ... no matter how vicissitudes of the world, no matter how ruthless the years are, it is rock solid.
When I got these two books of poetry, I was in awe. Although there are many works in this book, which I have been familiar with since I was a teenager, I still can't put it down like I just got a long-awaited new book and sit in front of the book case all night to review it carefully.
Ai Qing was a poet who approached the world in China in the last century. Since 1950s, numerous versions of Ai Qing's Poems have appeared at home and abroad. The National Library of America alone has more than 30 such poems. There are also differences in sentence breaks, line breaks, chapters, translations, etc., which need to be standardized urgently.
I learned about the plan of publishing these two poems by China Youth Publishing House in June, 5438+last year 10 earlier, and learned that Aidan was working on the compilation and revision of Ai Qing's poems. Ai Qing's son, Aidan, was Ai Qing's secretary in his later years, responsible for editing and was the original source of Ai Qing's works.
Nearly two-thirds of Ai Qing's works that have been handed down to this day were written in the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, which influenced several generations. The news media and literary circles at home and abroad respect Ai Qing as "Yan 'an Battlefield Poet", "Red Poet", "Poet Leader" and "Poet Sage" ... But in my opinion, as far as art itself is concerned, these titles are not enough to accurately define Ai Qing's artistic achievements and status. It is undoubtedly not comprehensive to prove Ai Qing's life and his time simply by "grief and indignation as a poet".
The new year has come again, and I will greet it with all my excitement and enthusiasm. It will come with the crown of victory. In order to meet it, I will write new songs for it with greater creative ambition. I will faithfully follow it. I will take creation as the action of my thoughts, strive to realize my predictions and strengthen my vows.
Reading Ai Qing's I Love This Land, Dawn Notice, Snow on the Land of China, Torch to the Sun ... When I was unconsciously loved by Ai Qing's emotional contagion, I had to pay high tribute to this great poet. Ai Qing's poems are embraced by the sun, land, torch and dawn ... He is full of longing and pursuit for tomorrow, and lashes the darkness and terror of the old society with radical poems.
No matter what form it is written, it is a poem;
If it is not a poem, it is not a poem of any kind.
Don't write poems into riddles;
Don't let readers misunderstand that it is difficult because you are not clear enough.
The reason why Ai Qing's poems shine with eternal light and exuberant vitality stems from his experience and persistence in grassroots life, from Ai Qing's ardent patriotism and patriotic feelings, and from Ai Qing's unpretentious true feelings ... If we lose the above, I am afraid it will be abandoned by time and forgotten by readers.
