When did Bing Xin write the poem Mother? What's the background?

The creative background of Bing Xin's Paper Boat for Mother (Fan Boqun, Zeng Huapeng) Bing Xin graduated from yenching university with honors in the early summer of 1923, and was awarded the golden key of the honorary degree of "Feifei". And accepted a scholarship from Wellesley Women's University, a sister school of Yanjing Women's University, and prepared to study in the United States. This student and writer who diligently explores life is now standing at the starting point of a new voyage in life. She said: "For the sake of life, I have volunteered to make this' weak swim' with tears! ..... I want to embark on the great road of life from now on! ..... so don't be sad, my dear mother! With blood and tears, I pushed open the mysterious palace door of life. Because of the huge price, I will accept life and enjoy life from now on. " Bing Xin's long journey away from his hometown and his "weak journey" are to explore the treasure house of literature and open the door to the mystery of life with the golden key in his hand. However, for this female writer, the price she paid for this study tour is also huge: she bears an unbearable burden on her delicate and keen nerves-enduring the pain of parting that makes her soul tremble. Therefore, the feelings of parting expressed in Bing Xin's prose and poems at that time left us with the most detailed, true and sad chapter describing the pain of parting. During this time, this family, which combines music and beauty, made a "most natural" forced smile between parents and brothers. They were all so "deceiving themselves, comforting each other and swallowing countless tears ..." It was only an accidental opportunity that I heard a whisper between my brother and my child: "My sister left, and our family is like losing a pearl!" The sigh behind my father, the tears my mother choked back, I delayed my time with my friends in the name of farewell. Because I feel sad when I first started, my brothers and sisters dare not sit together silently. Sometimes they run around the big lotus jar, splashing water on each other for fun, and hide their inner pain with this age-inappropriate carnival. In short, parting makes everything in this family abnormal. "In the past few months, we have been bright for each other, but we are soft-hearted and sad, and we dare not reveal this layer of paper." But when it comes to parting, I abnormally pretend that nothing happened: "I actually laughed! I said, "Let's go!" Just like talking to the air, the sound seems to come from the air. I was shocked to hear that. I opened the curtain and went out without looking at anyone. ""it's just such a faint and hasty farewell, which is neither touching nor tragic, and it's a waste of effort these days! "Bing Xin left her family after living such a" dishonest "life for a long time. It was August 3rd, 1923, and she went south by Putin train. It wasn't until the train started slowly that I saw the History of China Literature on the train, only to see a few big characters written in the margin of the page: "Don't forget Xiaoxiao", which is the handwriting of her youngest brother Bing Ji. This exposed a thin piece of paper, which made her dead heavy heart feel very sad. Bing Xin arrived in Shanghai on August 5, took a short break and set off for the United States on August 17. In Letter 7 to a Young Reader, she told her dear children: 17 One afternoon in August, colorful paper tapes flew out of countless windows of the Yorkshire Post and were thrown to the shore far away, leaving my heart to be held by the farewell people. How sad my heart is! Countless people who bid farewell, on the farthest river bank, just held the last cut-off note and floated away this behemoth, carrying the heaviest sadness! /kloc-0 arrived in Kobe, Japan on August 9th, and visited Yokohama on August 2nd/kloc-0. This short and long life on the ship makes Bing Xin wander in the arms of the goddess of the sea day and night. She often stood by the fence and watched: "Blue is extremely green, and it is condensed into one. The golden light of the setting sun, like a snake, goes directly from the horizon to the place where others stand. From the sky to the water in front of the ship, from light red to dark green, it has become dozens of colors, one layer after another. -Kids, I hate that I can't draw. Words are the most useless things in the world. I can't write such an ethereal and wonderful scene! "The sparkling waves evoked memories of Bing Xin's childhood. In the tide, cherished childlike innocence and former playmates are active in her brain center. So, on the boat, Bing Xin "has completely returned to his childhood situation, throwing sandbags in circles and enjoying it ..." Among the three pillars of this philosophy of love-maternal love, childlike innocence and nature, only childlike innocence and nature stand tall in front of him, and maternal love in these three pillars has been taken away from home. Without this important pillar, Bing Xin felt that the whole soul had an uncontrollable tilt. In order to get rid of this distressed state, even if it is to reduce the load by one tenth, she wrote poems such as Melancholy and Paper Boat on the boat. Visiting Yokohama in the rain, coupled with the unbalanced inclination of her soul, made her ill on the boat. She wrote in "Melancholy": My dream mother came to comfort me when I was ill, and poured out human love stories-when I woke up several times, the medicine cup was no longer in my hand. The sea breeze is overwhelming, and the lights are still shining. How melancholy my heart is-nothing! " Melancholy is based on a dream: "I dreamed that my mother came that night and touched my forehead and said,' It's very hot-take some medicine. "She let me take a medicine cup to drink. I think the medicine is yellow water. I drank it all at once, but I thought it was orange juice in my dream. When I woke up, I heard the sea breeze whistling outside the round window, turned over and fell asleep again. The fever subsided the next day. " This missing mother is ill, because her dream of recovery has become a poem. These sentimental poems were built into a temporary scaffold to replace the extracted beams and columns to maintain the balance of the soul. Paper Boat-For Mother was also written on a boat in the Pacific Ocean. The idea of the poem is to pin her thoughts on her mother in childlike innocence: she folded into many small paper boats and threw them into the sea, some were blown into the boat by the wind, and some were wet by the waves, but she still folded and threw them happily: Mother, if you see a small white boat in your dream, don't be surprised that it dreams for no reason. This is your beloved daughter with tears in her eyes. Wanshui Qian Shan, please bring her love and sorrow home. Bing Xin spent three years abroad, because she was far away from her mother, she was often immersed in the memory of maternal love. Therefore, she sang for maternal love in these three years, which occupied a large space in her works during this period, making Bing Xin one of the most successful and touching writers in world literature. Of course, Bing Xin not only eulogized maternal love with beautiful words, but also wrote the story of her daughter as a navigator struggling with the wind and waves in the sea, and proudly said with the pride of the winner: "The sea proves that I am indeed my father's daughter." These words also reveal the heroism of a fighter who "sharpened his knife to the enemy". Before going to the country, her father said to her, "If you get seasick when crossing the Pacific Ocean, you are not worthy to be my daughter!" " Therefore, when she heard that the storm was coming, she felt a kind of "nameless joy", just like a fledgling confident soldier, eager to try. When she saw her companions leaning against each other on the swaying ship; When her mouth was silent, her face was cold and cheerless, and her thoughts flew by, she boarded the top deck of the ship like a banquet at the Dragon Palace under the sword. Bing Xin said: "It's like a goddess calling a banquet in the sea; It's also like sharpening a sword for the enemy. The opponent is a well-known healthy person, but he has some chances of winning. "Although this kind of writing is rare in the chapters she wrote in China, it is also unique. It reveals a kind of heroic spirit in the charm of women, which is slightly different from the literary talent of maternal love and has a harmonious style.
