Wu lives in a bad environment, with many prostitutes and gamblers. His father, Wu Chuanjiang, painted the walls and gates with lime and wrote the words "White House and Wu Zhai", which means an innocent house, so Wu named himself "White House and Wu Sheng". 19 10 was admitted to the preparatory school for studying in the United States in Beijing Tsinghua campus. 19 12 he was forced to leave school and wander home because he supported and protested China, a classmate who was unreasonably abused by American teachers, and posted "please the principal". At school, Wu met Wu Mi and became best friends. Wu Mi is often the first reader of Wu's new works, and Wu has benefited a lot from Wu Mi.
Later, he worked as an English teacher in Jiazhou (now Leshan) Middle School, went to Shanghai in the autumn of 19 19, and worked as a proofreader of Zhang series in Shanghai Youwen Society, a teacher in Yongning (now Xuyong) Middle School, a poetry editor in Shanghai Xinqun (during which poems such as "Wan Rong Ci" and "Two Fathers and Daughters" were published), and successively worked as China Public School in Shanghai. 1929 participated in the establishment of Chongqing university and served as the director of liberal arts preparatory course. 193 1 was hired as the headmaster of Jiangjin middle school. After the September 18th Incident, he wrote an anti-Japanese poem "Song of Ba People" and read speeches in Chongqing and other places many times. He was impassioned when reciting his speech, and burst into tears. He fainted on the platform and died in Jiangjin's former residence on May 9, 1932, at the age of 36.
He is known as the pioneer of poetry reform, and he is a patriotic poet who enjoys a good reputation all over the country for a while. His masterpiece "Wanrong Ci" was praised as a masterpiece handed down from ancient times by China poetry circles as "almost comparable to the peacock flying southeast". Wanrong Ci describes the love tragedy of a virtuous rural woman who was abandoned by her husband who went abroad to study. As soon as the poem was published, it shocked the literary world, and readers all over the country rushed to tell it, and it was selected as a textbook for primary and secondary schools. At that time, as long as the scholar mentioned Wu Jifang, he could casually recite: "It's dark, where is America?" ……"
Today, "Peacock Flying Southeast" is an eternal classic after all, and "Wanrong Ci" is incomparable no matter how good it is; But the influence at that time can be seen. His character and literary style are also highly praised by Zhou Enlai, Guo Moruo and others.
19 10, Wu was admitted to the preparatory class for studying in the United States in Tsinghua campus. 19 12 years, China, Wu Mi, Wu et al. 10 students were elected as strike representatives for protesting unreasonable insults and absenteeism due to illness of American teachers. The youngest Wu imitated Wang's "Please" and wrote "Please the Principal", which was signed as righteousness. Later, he refused to admit his mistake and was expelled from school, 16 years old.
After being expelled from Tsinghua, Wu wandered in Beijing, then moved to Shanghai Bookstore as a proofreader, and returned to Sichuan on foot with the support of his classmates the following year, begging along the way and returning to his hometown for half a year. This experience of falling to the bottom made Wu understand the China society at that time. The atrocities of warlords, the pain of war, the hardships of the people and the oppression of women ... all shocked their hearts and became outrageous. Wu's poems have become a horn and weapon to reflect the sufferings of people's livelihood: "If you don't write about the sufferings of the people for three days, how many people can you live up to the article?"
Since then, Wu has been studying, creating and teaching. Wu has been teaching all over the country. With his knowledge and fame, and the introduction of his close friend Wu Mi, he has worked as a middle school teacher and a university professor. He has been employed by famous universities such as Northwest University, Northeastern University, Chengdu University and Sichuan University. 1929 worked with professors in Chongqing to establish Chongqing University, and served as the head of the liberal arts department.
193 1 year, at the invitation of the then county magistrate of Jiangjin county, he resigned as a well-paid director and professor of literature and returned to Jiangjin middle school as the principal. When Wu arrived at the school, he personally wrote the four seal characters of "Xue, Hai, Jin and Liang" on the brick column of the school as the school motto, hired excellent foreign teachers to teach in Jiangjin Middle School with high salary, and invited foreign professors from Chongqing University to give lectures. With his efforts, Jiangjin Middle School quickly became a first-class middle school in China.
193 1 On the occasion of the September 18th Incident, Wu, then the headmaster of Jiangjin Middle School, read newspapers late at night. Seeing this news, he immediately personally rang the school bell and called all the teachers and students to take to the streets to protest. 1932 "December 28th Incident", when the Japanese attacked Shanghai, the 19th Route Army rose up against Japan. When Wu heard the news, he gave generously and wanted to go to the front to kill the enemy alone, but he was persuaded by the teachers and students on the riverside. Unbearable passion led him to create an anti-Japanese poem "Song of Ba People" praising 19 Route Army. "Three thousand sons are like a mountain, clothes are not stained with blood ..." That poem, which was circulated for a while, became a mobilization order to arouse people's resistance to Japan. On May 4th, he was invited to give a speech in Chongqing to promote anti-Japanese, and read "Ba People's Song" in public. Thousands of listeners were silent, excited and in tears.
When he returned to Jiangjin, he conveyed to the teachers and students of the whole school the message that all walks of life in Chongqing were United in the war of resistance with one heart and one mind, and recited the Ba people's song again. He was exhausted and pale before he finished reciting. 1932 On May 9, Wu died at the age of 36, and there were more than 700 people in the funeral industry.
Ji Fang grew up in a poor, malnourished and weak family. When he went to Chaotianmen Wharf in Chongqing alone for the national disaster, he was generous and sad, much like the tragic slaughter of Qin by Yan State. Although you only have a life span of 36 years, you have won more than 100 years. Fang is a model for Sichuan people and China people.
