I love you
Baba lives, draws water, cooks and takes medicine on time every day.
Put yourself in when the sun is clear, like putting a piece of dried tangerine peel.
Drink tea in turn: chrysanthemum, jasmine, rose and lemon.
These beautiful things seem to take me on the road of spring.
So I kept the snow in my heart again and again.
They are too white, too close to spring.
Read your poems in a clean yard.
This kind of human thing
Trance is like a sparrow flying suddenly.
And time is bright. I'm not fit for grief.
If I send you a book, I won't send you poetry.
I will give you a book about plants and crops.
Tell you the difference between rice and barnyard grass
Tell you the barnyard grass in a horrible spring.
-Yu Xiuhua
Through this full and affectionate text, we see a sensitive heart and the artistic beauty created by the poet with the hottest emotions.
Every morning is her reading time. Her favorite book is Les Miserables, and she likes everything about it-language, structure and ideas. "That kind of portrayal of human nature is really good!" She loves to read poetry, and almost every page in her poetry collection has her feelings and comments written down casually.
In the afternoon, she will spend a lot of time writing. Her hands are not flexible, so she can only tap the keyboard with one finger and record every word of the poem into the computer. After graduating from high school, her father opened a grocery store for her in the village. Mother Zhou Jinxiang felt that her daughter's mind was not at the grocery store at all.
When she was born, she suffered from cerebral palsy due to lack of oxygen. Yu Xiuhua's speech was a little lisp, and his facial muscles twitched, which seemed exaggerated. But she thinks quickly and speaks directly and impulsively. "She doesn't fit in here." Yu Xiuhua's aunt said. In her opinion, Yu Xiuhua is eccentric and has different thinking from others. She doesn't know anyone very well in the village and can't say anything.
Yu Xiuhua doesn't walk around much in the village. The peasant woman has no interest in the gossip of the villagers' parents. No one in the village has read her poems. When asked, they smiled and shook their heads. "I don't understand." Yu Xiuhua has the minimum living allowance of 60 yuan every month. Last January, my mother bought more than 20 rabbits for Yu Xiuhua to look after. These rabbits have become her treasures and can sell some money. Before getting up early for dinner every day, she mows the grass and feeds it to the rabbits.
She admits that labels such as "cerebral palsy", "peasant woman" and "bottom" may be popular factors. "I hope it's only because poetry itself touches people." Yu Xiuhua said.
"Popular" on the Internet. In Hengdian Village, Shipai Town, Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province, there was movement in her home and many reporters came. "For me, the interview is like digging coal." Yu Xiuhua quipped. Telephone calls kept coming from various publishing houses, and she learned to refuse. "I have signed a contract with someone else."
Editor's note: The medical condition can be reflected from the poet's physical condition. Including Zhang Haidi, chairman of the Disabled Persons' Federation. This kind of man-made injury in all aspects can not only destroy a person, but also create a person. There are thousands of things that make a person possible? One ten thousandth of the plan? The absolute majority is to destroy one person. The choice between the two situations-May our social civilization progress and development, and may everyone, you and me, live a healthy and happy life!
