I read this children's poem The Loom in Spring for the first time, and I like it very much. You see, the "Goddess of Spring" weaves rape flowers in the wheat field with a "loom", and Chinese milk vetch weaves the blue sky, with the sound of "dong, dong, dong". A picture of spring is vividly presented to us. It is not ordinary people who write such poems. Yes, she is the Japanese writer Jin Meiling. A beautiful name, like a string of wind chimes swaying in the wind, I think she must have a pair of clear eyes and can discover the beauty of the world. At the same time, she also has a childlike innocence, so write lovely poems!
As early as many years ago, due to work reasons, I subscribed to the composition guidance. I often see her poems in newspapers and periodicals, such as snow: "The snow upstairs/it's very cold/Leng Yue shines on it/the snow downstairs/it's very heavy/hundreds of people are pressing down/the snow in the middle/it's very lonely/you can't see the sky or the ground." You see, what a good poem, unpretentious and straightforward, this is the most authentic soul. The author's compassion and delicate feelings deeply touched people's hearts. I didn't mind reading poetry at that time, but it felt good. When my eyes looked away, both the poem and the author were put down.
This summer vacation, I went to Beijing to participate in research activities. When my tutor, Mr. Long Braid, gave us training, I first asked everyone a question: "What books have you read?" It was my turn to answer questions. She asked me, "What children's works have you read so far?" I was so shocked that my brain almost shorted out. Frankly speaking, there are only a handful of children's books: Little Peas by the Window and Straw House. I answered guiltily. The long braid teacher said, "You teach children to write, but you don't look at their works. What are you teaching? " It can be said that the long braid teacher's words were nailed in my heart like nails. That is, in that class, the long braid teacher recommended many excellent children's books at home and abroad, including Jin Meiling's poems. In addition, when the long braid teacher lectures, he quotes Jin Meiling's poems the most. That time, Jin Meiling really walked into my heart.
When I came back from Beijing, the first thing I did was to make a book purchase plan and buy books online. A few days later, the book arrived, and a hardcover children's poem "Everyone likes it" by Jin Meiling was the first one on my desk. This book is beautifully printed, and every poem for children is accompanied by childlike illustrations, which is pleasing to the eye. After reading in one breath, every poem is simple and straightforward, catchy, sometimes lively and sometimes sad, just like listening to a little girl telling her heart. Of course, I am still attracted by the playful style of her children's poems. For example, "Qiu Lai's Letter": "The letter sent from the mountain to the city reads:/'Persimmon chestnuts are ripe; /snipes and spotted thrushes began to crow,/and there was a festival scene in the mountains. "/The letter sent from the city to the mountain reads:' Swallows are gone,/Willow leaves have fallen,/The city is lonely and desolate.' "How, not only cute, but also image! I seem to see a little girl writing a letter by the window. She looked at the sky gloomily and waved to the swallow. When she looked over the hill and imagined the scene in the mountain, I was afraid that she was dancing and a poem was born. Reading Jin Meiling's poems, I seem to have become a child, a child who has never grown up and never lost his childlike innocence. How nice it would be! Maybe poetry can make us do it.
However, behind all the beauty, the accident is so unexpected. Jin Meiling's poems were translated by Wu Fei, a Japanese literary translator who graduated from Yamaguchi University with a master's degree in humanities studies. Wu Fei expressed the author's life brief introduction in the postscript of the book. When I saw this page, my God! Jin Meiling only lived to be 26 years old. It's impossible. I can't believe this fact
Jin, whose real name is Jin, was born on April 1903 1 1, a coastal city in western Japan. She lost her father, grandmother, mother and brother when she was young. Three generations of the whole family run the only bookstore in town-Jinwen Yingtang. Meiling grew up in a scholarly family, and the school has always been an excellent student.
1923, after graduating from a girls' middle school, she gave up the opportunity to pursue further studies and went to Shankou county with her remarried mother to work as a clerk in Wenyingtang, a bookstore run by her stepfather. During this period, she began to contribute to nursery rhymes magazines, and in just a few years, a large number of works were published in major magazines. The leading writer in the field of children's literature, Xitiao Eighty, appreciates Meiling's works best. He thought she was a "leap of imagination" and praised her as a "superstar of nursery rhymes poets".
1926, Jin Meiling was elected as a member of the Japanese Nursery Rhyme Association, becoming one of only two female members in China. Then, what is waiting for Meiling is not a beautiful life like a nursery rhyme.
1926 February, Meiling was 23 years old. Under the management of her stepfather, she married another bookstore clerk, Miyamoto Qixi, and soon gave birth to her daughter Jiang Fang. Her husband lived a dissolute life and opposed Meiling's continued poetry creation. The marriage lasted less than four years and finally ended in divorce. At that time, after the divorce, the woman could not get custody of the children. Shortly after the divorce, Meiling committed suicide by taking poison, leaving a suicide note asking her husband not to take her daughter away. Meiling's death brought her daughter a stable life, and she grew into a strong and independent woman under the care of her grandmother. At present, Mei Ling's daughter Fang is here.
Half a century after Meiling's death, Fu Jie Yazaki, a researcher on children's literature, searched around and finally found Jin Meiling's manuscript, copying 5 12 works in three notebooks. After many efforts, The Complete Works of Jin Meiling Nursery Rhymes was officially published on 1984. On this day, 54 years have passed since Jin Meiling died.
After reading it, there is a feeling of sadness and anger mixed with regret, and there are all kinds of flavors. It's really unpredictable, people are jealous! Now, the gold is gone. She held out a treasure with her life and brought us countless wonderful experiences. In her poems, her imagination is unobstructed, her works are moved and found alive, and her works shine like dew. Her poetic fairy tales come from ordinary things at your fingertips. Four seasons, blue sky, white clouds, the sea, pebbles and weeds on the roadside, and even your neighbor's unpleasant puppy are all reproduced in her works. Because of this, even the works of nearly a hundred years ago, we still love Meiling's poems without any gap, and follow Meiling's poems, so that we can discover and feel beauty from the depths of life. For example, "Lou" "Don't tell anyone /OK? Tears in the courtyard/corner/under the moon before flowers/in the morning. /In case this thing/goes out/reaches the bee's ear/it will fly back/return the honey like a bad thing! " Meiling always looks at the world, pays attention to nature, and always talks with nature. Reading such a poem is very touching.
"To the bright side/to the bright side/even if it is a leaf/to the direction of sunlight/to the grass in the bushes/to the bright side/to the bright side/even if the wings are burnt/to the direction of flashing lights/flying insects at night! /on the bright side/on the bright side/even if it is spacious/in the direction of sunshine/children living in the city. "
Reading gold's song "Towards the Bright Side" made my heart ache and my tears blurred. Even if it is just a grass and a flying insect, your life is only 26 years, but your heart will always face the sunny side! Lovely gold, may you be so beautiful in another world, always facing the sun!
