When a person wins a prize when he is young, he must win the prize with the old man, which shows that he is famous;
But when he won the prize in his later years, he should win the prize with the young people, which shows that he is not behind the times.
The voice just fell and the audience applauded. The short words let people see his fighting spirit and high morale on the road of literary creation.
As a famous contemporary writer, poet, scholar and translator, Yu Guangzhong's literary achievements are obvious to all, and he is known as "colored pen" and "artistic polygamy" in the literary world.
Liang Shiqiu, his mentor, once commented: "Writing poetry with the right hand and writing prose with the left hand is as high as ever."
In the eyes of the world, "homesick poet" is the loudest title of Yu Guangzhong. Because of his 82-word Homesickness, people have read it everywhere in China.
Being able to struggle out of the bright spot of life is inseparable from his aggressive attitude on the road of chasing dreams, and also inseparable from the three subtle and delicate feelings that have been surging in his heart.
These three feelings are affection, love and nostalgia that run through Yu Guangzhong's life.
0 1
Love inheritance of three generations: the hand that shakes the cradle is the hand that pushes the world.
Yu Guangzhong was born in Nanjing on September 9, 65438.
Father Yu Chaoying was born in Fujian, and served as the director of the Education Bureau of Yongchun County, Fujian Province. Mother Sun Xiujun was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu, and received a good normal education.
Relying on the unique family education environment, Yu Guangzhong's childhood is often accompanied by poetry books.
Parents often recite ancient prose for him with local accent, and take him into the palace of China classical literature. With the enlightenment of this national study, the rhythm of classical poetry has been integrated into his pulse and heartbeat since then.
However, when he was 9 years old, the all-out anti-Japanese war broke out, which broke the quiet life of this family.
At that time, my father, who worked in the Nanjing Overseas Chinese Education Association of the Kuomintang, had gone to Wuhan with the army.
My mother escaped with Yu Guangzhong alone, picked him up in the laundry basket with a pole and ran around under the Japanese iron hoof.
Mother and son once fell into the water on a boat in Taihu Lake and escaped the bayonet of the Japanese army under the incense table of the temple ... After hardships and dangers, they finally settled in Yuelai Ancient Town, Chongqing.
Living in Zhujiajian ancestral hall, Yu Guangzhong has been very diligent. In his memory, under the faint light of tung oil, his mother listened to him sing "China Ancient Literature View" while holding the sole. The love between mother and child is as deep as night.
/kloc-at the age of 0/2, Yu Guangzhong bid farewell to his parents for the first time in his life and went to a middle school separated by a mountain road of more than ten miles, boarding and studying.
Accustomed to living alone on the road to escape, both mother and son can't bear the pain of parting.
Every time I go to school, my mother will always stand on the top of the mountain and watch him March until his little figure is swallowed up by the distant slope.
His mother was more worried about his difficulties at school, and no one took good care of him, so she began to accompany him remotely by writing letters.
Letters and stamps from home, traveling between Bashan and Shushui, spent seven years in middle school with Yu Guangzhong, which became the most precious thing in his memory.
Therefore, Yu Guangzhong later wrote at the beginning of Homesickness: When I was a child, homesickness was a small stamp. I'm here and my mother is there.
Since he made the ambition of "I want to be a writer in the future" in the class of Xiamen University, he has been writing incessantly, making his mark in the literary world, and he is also fortunate to be a disciple of Liang Shiqiu.
After entering the literary world, He even made a wish to integrate Chinese and Western cultures: he must practice an Dan in the wind furnace of China's writing.
On the occasion of his eightieth birthday, Yu Guangzhong published three new books to show his intention: I want to improve the language level of my nation. No matter how much I improve, I must make a slight change in my hands. I will pass it on to the next generation, and this China person will change through my hands.
He did it. His good friend once said: Yu Guangzhong's name, if translated into vernacular, means "I came to this world to promote the culture of China".
This sentence is the best footnote in his life.

6 1 year: Don't ask me if I have you in my heart, I only have you.
As a talented person whose pen is full of lightning and thunder, the most romantic thing Yu Guangzhong has ever done is to write poems for his wife.
Speaking of Yu Guangzhong's wife, the love story between them is simply the perfect ending version of Baodai's love.
/kloc-When I was 0/7 years old, I first met his 3-year-old cousin Fan in Sichuan. The two spent the years of refuge in Bashu together, and they shared the same interests. Since then, their love has been deeply rooted.
Later, because of the migration in the war, the two were forced to separate.
Maybe marriage is destiny takes a hand. At the age of 265,438+0, Yu Guangzhong fled to Taiwan Province with his family and accidentally met his cousin.
Later, Yu Guangzhong described the reunion as poetic: a slender narcissus, elegant and noble. .......................................................................................................................................................
From that moment on, Yu Guangzhong decided that he must be with his cousin.
However, their relationship was strongly opposed by their parents.
Fanwo Village High School dropped out of school due to lung disease. Some parents think that her education is not settled, and they are more worried that she will not have children in the future and will not be able to carry on the family line for Yu.
Fan's family thinks that people who bury themselves in reading all day look boring, which is far from his ideal son-in-law in East Bed.
However, Yu Guangzhong, with the determination to carry out his love to the end, launched a vigorous underground love affair with his cousin. In order to chase after his cousin, he actually translated a biography of Van Gogh.
During the translation, he wrote beautiful translations on the front of the manuscript and sent them to his cousin to help him copy them. On the back, there were sweet love letters for his cousin to savor.
It lasted 1 1 month, and the translation reached 300,000 words. It has become a bluebird that frequently flies between two people, carrying "bootleg goods" to express affection and passing on Yu Guangzhong's love to one lover after another.
After the translation of Van Gogh's biography was completed, my cousin's heart was completely captured by his gentleness and talent.
They first met at the age of 17. After four years of separation and six years of long-distance love, they entered the marriage hall on 1956.
That year, Yu Guangzhong was 28 years old. For this day, Yu Guangzhong waited 1 1 year. During the period, his parents went around asking for relatives for him, and he was always rock solid.
After a long separation, they finally got the deep affection of the couple for 6 1 year, and they also raised four daughters together.
At the age of 30, recommended by Liang Shiqiu, he went to the United States for further study and became the oriental face of the writing class at the University of Iowa.
In the process of further study, he found that the west was very indifferent to his knowledge of the East. This made him feel more lonely when he was away from his relatives and friends.
He often feels cold, saying that this period is his own "ice age", but fortunately he has a warm wife who is far away from the ocean to support him when he comes back from school.
So in his pen: homesickness is a narrow ticket, I am here and the bride is there.
He once said that he didn't want to be Su Like Dongpo, and he could only express his tenderness for his wife with mourning poems, hoping that he could always write poems for his lover.
With 6 1 year, Yu Guangzhong wrote many amazing poems to express his love for his wife:
Don't ask me if I have you in my heart, all I have left is you.
If there is new snow, the full moon will be in the sky. There is a bright shadow below, and bright silver flows on it. You came to me with a smile. Between moonlight and snow, you are the third kind of beauty.

Nostalgia for 43 years: I am here and the mainland is there.
It is said that Provence belongs to Van Gogh, Shanghai to Zhang Ailing and Hainan Island to Su Dongpo. Where does Yu Guangzhong, who has been wandering all his life, belong?
Born in Nanjing, Fujian, he spent his childhood in Jiangnan, then took refuge in Chongqing, moved to Taiwan Province Province, taught in Hong Kong, and visited the United States three times ... Yu Guangzhong said that he had been wandering all his life.
He calls himself a Fujian native, a "half Jiangnan native", a Sichuan kid, and a "mainland prodigal son".
In his mind, the mainland is his mother, Taiwan Province Province is his wife and children, Hongkong is his lover, and Europe is an affair.
No matter where Yu Guangzhong goes, he always opens the drawer of his desk and sees a map.
He likes to look at maps because he wants to know where his hometown is and where he is on the earth.
/kloc-one day in 0/972, Yu Guangzhong was at home in Taipei, staring at the place called hometown on the map for a long time, not knowing when he would return to his hometown. Extremely depressed, he took out a pen and paper and wrote "Homesickness":
In childhood
Homesickness is a small stamp.
I'm at this end
Mom is over there.
When I grow up
Homesickness is a narrow ticket.
I'm at this end
The bride is over there.
We'll talk about it later.
Homesickness is a low grave.
I am outside
Mom's inside.
But now
Homesickness is a shallow strait.
I'm at this end
The mainland is over there
In just 82 words, one's homesickness has risen to the thought of home and country with universal significance.
Write a masterpiece in 20 minutes. Because of this feeling, he has been brewing for 20 years, so he does it in one go.
1992, Homesickness was sung at the Spring Festival Gala, and Yu Guangzhong's name spread all over the Chinese community.
In September of that year, he was invited by the Institute of Foreign Languages of China Academy of Social Sciences to give lectures in Beijing.
After 43 years, I finally set foot on my homeland. He said that my homesickness has changed from a romantic stage to a realistic stage.
In the process of promoting cross-strait cultural exchanges, he also found his homesickness in the mountains and rivers of the motherland.
He scraped the dirt off the banks of the Yellow River from the soles of his shoes and took it home in Taipei. Let the tiles on the ancestral temple of Zhujiajian Island in Chongqing cross the ocean and become the treasure of the cabinet top. ...
Later, with the hope of a bright future, he continued to write the fifth paragraph of Homesickness. Because it has not been published, it is little known:
In the future,
Homesickness is a long bridge,
You go this way,
I will go that way.
In Yu Guangzhong's mind, there are not only the past of the two sides of the strait, but also the future of the two sides.
20 17 12, 89-year-old Yu Guangzhong died in Kaohsiung, Taiwan Province.
When he was seriously ill, his daughter talked with him according to the doctor's advice, holding "300 Tang Poems" and singing with his father. My daughter read "I am a madman in Chu", and he thought of "Who sang a crazy song arguing with Confucius" ...
Walking in the magnificent landscape of Tang poetry, his face gradually glowed. At the end of his life, he walked with peace of mind because of the company of Tang poetry.
He must know that he is going back to his hometown and will never have to wander again.
Write at the end:
In me the tiger sniffs the rose. Looking back on Yu Guangzhong's bumpy life, affection, love and homesickness always haunt him, bringing him endless creative inspiration and injecting immortal soul into his poems.
He said that prose and poetry are my eyes. Without both, the world is not three-dimensional.
I am far away, and his personality charm, like his works, will shine forever like a treasure.
