A Brief Introduction to the Author of Some People
Cang Kejia published his first book of poetry, Brand, on 1933, which is his most influential work. This collection of poems sincerely and simply shows the decline of rural areas in China, the sufferings and perseverance of farmers, and the worries of the nation. Since then, he has published more than ten collections of poems and long poems, including Black Hands of Evil, Self-portrait, Song of the Earth, Baby and Zero Life.
During this period, Cang Kejia's poems were short, but they were quite general. In addition to consciously learning the structural methods of classical poetry, he formed a dignified, concentrated and refined style, and deliberately pursued novelty, originality and visualization of words, but at the same time he was plain, clear and colloquial.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Cang Kejia wrote many political lyric poems, among which Some People is his masterpiece. This poem was written to commemorate the third anniversary of Lu Xun's death/kloc-0. Its uniqueness lies in its philosophical theme: man lives for the better of most people. In fact, this theme has gone beyond the scope of praising Lu Xun's spirit and introduced readers into deeper thinking about life. Simple language, strong contrast and vivid image are the artistic characteristics of this poem.
In addition to continuing to write short and meaningful poems, Cang Kejia also wrote a biographical poem "Li Dazhao". This long poem shows the great and ordinary personality of a revolutionary pioneer from many angles such as fighting and family.
Some people's writing background
1949, Cang Kejia came to Beijing. 65438+1October 19 is the third anniversary of the death of Lu Xun/kloc-0. For the first time, the victorious people openly and solemnly commemorated the great writer, thinker and revolutionary Mr. Lu Xun all over the country. Cang Kejia personally attended the memorial activities in the capital, and visited the former residence of Lu Xun, and saw the "jujube tree" and "tiger tail" mentioned in Lu Xun's article. Look at people and things with mixed feelings, and my heart is full of thoughts and reverence for Lu Xun. I wrote a short poem "Some People".
This poem was written on June 5438+0949 1 65438+1October1to commemorate the 13th anniversary of Lu Xun's death. Through the sharp contrast between the two men, they enthusiastically praised Lu Xun's great spirit of "bowing down and being a willing ox", mercilessly lashed the reactionary rulers riding on the people's heads and inspired us to establish a revolutionary outlook on life.
The twists and turns of Lu Xun's life in Some People
There is not a word about "Lu Xun" in the whole poem, but through Lu Xun's famous words and masterpieces, readers can really feel that the object of the whole poem is Lu Xun. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the relevant statements in combination with Lu Xun's life. At the beginning of the poem, the author puts in front of the readers the most essential difference between the two people he wants to praise and lash. Although one is dead, the other is still alive, which obviously constitutes a strong contrast between good and evil, beauty and ugliness. This poem continues to the end. If the first section is a very general comparison, then the last six sections are concrete and vivid comparisons. Sections 2-4 contrast their relationship with the people. The second section looks from the external performance: first, "riding on the people's heads"; The other is to bow and scrape, "be cattle and horses for the people." The latter comes from Lu Xun's poem "bow your head and be a willing ox" Lu Xun was originally used to express his two diametrically opposed attitudes towards the people and reactionaries. Here, it develops into a comparison of two attitudes towards the people. Section 3 thinks from the inside: one wants to be famous; The other wants to be an unknown grass. The latter is also extracted from the meaning of Lu Xun's "Yecaoming". Lu Xun said: "I love my weeds, but I hate the ground decorated with weeds." The fire ran underground and rushed; Once lava is ejected, it will burn all weeds, even trees, so it will not rot. "In this poem," I would like to be a weed, waiting for the underground fire to attack ",showing a completely complete spirit of sacrifice. In the fourth quarter, from the purpose of life, one is self-interest; The other is selfless. Mr. Lu Xun once wrote "I recommend Xuanyuan with blood" to express his purpose in life.
some people
Some people are still alive.
He died;
Someone died;
He's alive.
someone
Riding on the people's heads: "Oh, how great I am!"
someone
Bend down and be a cow and a horse for the people.
someone
Carve your name on a stone to make it immortal;
someone
I'd rather be a weed and wait for the underground fire.
someone
He lives and no one else can live;
someone
He lives to make life better for most people.
Ride on the people's heads
People broke him down;
Work for the people.
People will always remember him!
Carve one's name on a stone.
The name decays earlier than the corpse;
As long as the spring breeze explodes
There are green weeds everywhere.
He's alive, and no one else can,
His fate can be seen;
He lives for the benefit of most people,
The crowd held him high and high.
