This poem was published in Wen Xue, Volume 1, Issue 1, April, 1934. The so-called "you" in this poem has always been quite speculative. There are two recognized opinions: one is that the poet wrote in memory of Xu Zhimo, and the word "you" in the poem refers to Xu Zhimo in Lin's eyes; The other is that Lin expressed his love and hope for his son, and "you" in the poem refers to his son Liang Congjie.
As a character in literary works, "there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand audiences." We don't have to deliberately explore who "you" in Lin's poems refers to. Readers, if you carefully read and appreciate the rich images expressed in this poem, you may be surprised to find that "You are April Day on Earth" is actually the most perfect interpretation and interpretation of Lin himself.
After Lin died of illness, it is said that Jin, who was infatuated with him all his life and never married, once wrote an elegy comment: "A waterfall of poetry is an April day on earth." People only think that the "April Day on Earth" in this couplet refers to Lin's masterpiece. In fact, Jin is not a pun, because Lin himself is the most beautiful "April day" in the world.
The reason for this is the following：
First, a generation of talented women-laughter lights up the wind in all directions
With its outstanding talent, beautiful appearance, cheerful personality and romantic encounter, Lin was like a bright spring, as if "laughter lit up the wind in all directions", which surprised that era for a time.
Second, great achievements-the planetesimals flashed unintentionally
Lin has many titles, such as Professor Tsinghua University, a famous architect in China, a writer, a poet, the first female architect in China, an outstanding woman in the modern cultural history of China and so on. Such an outstanding achievement, as described in her poem, "the clouds in the sky in early April, accompanied by" the softness of the wind blowing at dusk ",became a shining star in the night sky unintentionally, or just like a quiet spring rain, gently sprinkled on it.
Third, the reputation rises-the crown of flowers
Lin almost marks the color of an era, making her the darling of the times and shrouded in thousands of praises. In the eyes of everyone, she is a graceful woman, like a fairy tale in spring, happy and romantic. As her poem says, "You are wearing a crown of flowers, you are innocent and solemn, and you are a full moon every night."
Fourth, high moral character-dream white lotus.
Perhaps Lin is really excellent, or perhaps the circle she contacts is too new and fashionable, which has aroused jealousy and suspicion beyond some people's envy. Some people say that Xu Zhimo's fanatical infatuation and pursuit for her are all in vain, and even she died in a plane crash. Some people say that Jin has been infatuated with him all his life, so that he has been unmarried and lonely until he is old. Some people say that Bing Xin's novel Our Wife's Living Room is specifically aimed at her mapping and ridicule. ...
All kinds of emotional rumors about Lin's early years also puzzled Liang Sicheng. Liang Sicheng asked Lin before marriage: "There is a saying that I will only ask this time, and I will never ask it again. Why me? " Lin said to him, "The answer is very long. I have to answer for a lifetime. Are you ready to listen to me? "
Facts have proved that Xu Zhimo's love for Lin is just the wishful thinking of a romantic genius, just as Tagore wrote a poem for them when he visited China: "The blue sky fell in love with the green of the earth, and the breeze between them sighed-alas!" Gold infatuation is really long, without losing the wind of a gentleman; Bing Xin himself admits that the so-called "wife" actually refers to others; With his lifelong loyalty, Lin helped Liang Sicheng achieve great success and gave the most perfect answer to the questions raised by Liang Sicheng at the beginning.
"The mud is not sticky, clear but not demon." Isn't Lin, who disagrees, as beautiful, holy and elusive as her song "White Lotus Floating in a Dream"?
Fifth, the impact is far-reaching-you are April in the world.
Today, countless literary lovers still talk about this legendary "talented woman of a generation", which shows that Lin's influence is far-reaching. Obviously outstanding in value, but brilliant; Obviously, there is a poem in her belly, but there is an interesting space for her soul ... In that era when old and new ideas alternate, Lin's Laughter Lights Up the Wind on All Sides, like a star that inadvertently flashes in the night sky, but she finally won the "crown of flowers"; Leave such a touching legend as "the water floats in the white lotus dream" and inspire future generations to "blossom one tree after another" and "swallows whisper among the beams" ...
Conclusion:
"-you are love, warmth, hope, and you are April on earth!" The word "you" in this poem means "poetic waterfall, April day on earth." Lin himself.
