The theme of the 12 issue of Readers is "youth". As a guest, Yu Xiuhua admitted that he was scared. "I'm really scared. I don't know what I am afraid of, and I am getting more and more confused about what I really want. " However, whose youth is not confused?
Looking around, the streets are full of beautiful faces, but behind these faces, we are not sure whether there is a beautiful soul. Although she has a broken body, she has the most beautiful heart, and she tells her story with her heart. In Yu Xiuhua's view, the best freedom is her favorite state of life, and she is willing to leave all the beauty in her poems.
1976, Yu Xiuhua was born in Hengdian, a small village in Hubei Province. Due to birth failure and lack of oxygen, she suffers from cerebral palsy. She can't move, she walks vacantly, and she feels that she may fall down at any time. She is not good at words and needs great efforts to express herself clearly.
After graduating from high school, at the age of 19, she married a fellow villager who was 12 years older than her mother.
She and her husband have nothing in common, but have to live under the same roof. I always wanted a divorce, but the man never agreed. Finally, after she became famous for writing poems, she used all her savings to buy a suite for her husband, in exchange for a divorce certificate and a free body.
The themes of her poems are mostly about love, affection, feelings about life, her disabled body and the closed village she can't get rid of. The pain and deformity of life became the spiritual source of her creation.
She wrote in "I Love You":
And her famous work "Crossing Half of China to Sleep with You":
She wrote in "A Man Watching the Starry Sky on the Roof":
In Where Can I Meet You, she wrote
Her poems made me feel a burning pain of incomprehension. Only by refining them into the best language can the poet seize his soul and prevent it from exploding, sinking, boiling violently and dying.
Reading her poems, all the emotions hidden in them will spread out into the vast and desolate starry sky out of control.
Countless sparks of thoughts flowed down the river, leaving only a very quiet soul after the shock.
Her poems are frank, as Liu Nian, the editor-in-chief of Poetry Magazine who discovered Yu Xiuhua, said, "She has no high walls, bronze locks and dogs in her heart, not even a fence. You can walk in easily. "
Her poems, in the Poems of China Poets, are as striking as putting a murderer in a group of educated families-others are dressed neatly, painted with powder and sprayed with perfume, and there is no sweat in black and white, but she is smoky and confused, with obvious blood between words.
Her poems are aloof, with no low eyebrows and no compromise. As she wrote in My Dog Called Little Witch, "When he grabbed my hair and hit me against the wall, the little witch kept shaking her tail, and there was nothing he could do for a person who was not afraid of pain."
Yu Xiuhua read her own poem "For You" and dedicated it to those she once liked, and more people who will come to her life in the future.
