Some people think that Ye Saining's love tragedy is the root cause of his suicide. Indeed, the poet's love life is quite unfortunate. 192 1 year165438+1October 7th, the poet and the famous American dancer Duncan fell in love at first sight and quickly fell in love. Soon, the two formally lived together. On May 1922, 10, after completing the marriage registration, they embarked on a journey to Europe and America and began a formal "honeymoon trip". However, due to the serious differences in travel and life abroad, their short-lived love and marriage are facing a crisis. Although they have the same artistic language, they are far apart in birth, education, age and personality. They obviously lack harmony in personality, but also have serious language barriers, their thoughts and feelings will not be fully communicated in time, and it is inevitable to break up. In the autumn of 1922, they broke up amicably shortly after returning to Mokoko. Later, the poet returned to his old lover Benislavskaya. The affectionate and kind girl forgave the poet and selflessly dedicated her love to Ye Saining as in the past.
Regrettably, the harmony and tranquility produced after the re-integration have not been maintained. Soon, the passionate poet fell into another chaotic love vortex, which made him take another step forward in his own tragedy. 1925 In March, the poet met Igor andreyev, the granddaughter of the world writer lev tolstoy, with outstanding appearance. The poet was immediately attracted by her appearance and manners, and he could no longer hide his love for her. The poet's impulsive mind, which often shows his passion for love, has known Igor andreyev and lost his balance. In September, the two married formally, and the poet moved into a luxurious and quaint spacious house. To the poet's great disappointment, the married life is not as happy as originally designed. Although Igor andreyev was born in a noble family, she was outstanding in talent, but she lacked artistic talent and insight that matched the poet, and she did not have the warmth of Benislavskaya. Only then did the poet truly feel the importance and value of Benislavskaya, and he deeply felt that he was really ashamed of her. However, he didn't have the courage to go back to her and get her forgiveness. In all kinds of painful situations, the sensitive poet finally came to a dead end, and he wanted to repay his true lover with death. It can be seen that Ye Saining died of "double suicide".
Many scholars point out that this view is too simplistic. Ye Saining actually committed suicide because of depression. When the poet died, the official obituary of the former Soviet Union once said, "Ye Saining hanged himself in despair because of depression and psychological imbalance. The famous dissident and scientist in the former Soviet Union clearly pointed out in the book Who's Crazy: "Sai Ning, Ya Fa Dief, Ou Hemingway, Jack London, Xie Ordzhonikidze, Sa Beining and many other respected and outstanding figures committed suicide during the period of psychological depression. "
According to historical records at that time, with the disorder of mood, Ye Saining's character became more and more irritable, and later he often got angry inexplicably, which made him moody. After examination by the hospital, the doctor thought that he was suffering from severe mental depression. Judging from the practice of Ye Saining's poetry creation, especially in his later period, the poet has fallen into the mire of erotic and decadent poetry. This reflects his extreme mental depression and serious crisis in creation. Many poems express the lonely and sad feelings of the lyric hero, and become excuses for the proper term "Ye Saining's character" marked by emotional decadence, debauchery and cynicism. Later, his poems were banned from publication and reprint in the former Soviet Union. It is also said that he chose this road to end his life because the October Revolution extinguished his individualistic fantasy. In fact, Ye Saining's suicide is the product of his contradictory life. Ye Saining's melancholy and sadness are mainly due to his temperament and his attachment to the primitive natural scenery in the countryside. Strong and stubborn consciousness of small farmers and pastoral sadness are the main reasons for his suicide.
Whether he died of love tragedy or depression, both are based on admitting that Ye Saining committed suicide. In the former Soviet Union, for a long time, almost no one questioned the poet's theory of suicide. Recently, however, some people have boldly challenged the traditional view that Ye Saining's "suicide" conclusion is questionable. Among those who are skeptical about "suicide", the most representative is Mr. yevgeny Chernos Vitov.
Chernosvitov is a famous forensic doctor and psychiatrist in the former Soviet Union and the academic secretary of the All-Soviet Philosophical Society. He has been engaged in the research of Ye Saining's death for a long time. Therefore, his views have certain authority. The evidence of his negative opinion on "suicide" is: (1) It is groundless to say that Ye Saining committed suicide because of mental depression and psychological imbalance. After carefully studying the poet's mental state and nervous function, the conclusion is just the opposite: Ye Saining is a man with ideal mental state and very sound nerves. (2) By studying related photos, we will find some doubts. After the poet's death, newspapers and periodicals at home and abroad in the Soviet Union reported it with prominent headlines and large pages, and published photos of the poet's death. It can be clearly seen from all the photos published in foreign newspapers that there is a big dent on the forehead and bridge of the nose of the deceased, which is obviously caused by a heavy blow. In addition, you can also see a horizontal scratch from the photo, which is consistent with the situation of hanging. This shows that the poet was actually strangled from behind by a rope.
If the "murder" theory holds, then who is the murderer of the poet? Why kill the poet? These will become new historical mysteries.
