Wait for me. ...
-Dedicated to BC
Wait for me, I'll be back.
You just have to wait hard,
Wait until the gloomy rain.
Arouse your sadness,
When heavy snow falls,
When the heat is unbearable,
When others no longer expect their loved ones,
Everything in the past has been forgotten.
Wait until the distant hometown.
No more letters from home,
People who wait together.
Turn the spirit into ashes-everyone is tired. /
Wait for me.-I'll be back,
Don't bless those people;
They keep saying-
Forget it, it's no use waiting!
Even though the beloved son and the loving mother think-
I'm not alive anymore,
Even if friends are tired of waiting,
Sitting around the fire,
Drink bitter wine and recommend the dead. ......
You have to wait! ten million
Don't be with them,
Busy raised the wine lamp. /
Wait for me, I will come back;
Death has been defeated by me again and again!
Let the people who didn't wait for me
Call me lucky.-Surprised
People who don't wait don't understand-
Thanks to your hard waiting,
On the battlefield of bullets,
You saved my life.
How did I survive,
Only you and I understand-
Just because you are different from others,
You are good at waiting.
Wait for me-creative background
Many people who were memorized by Soviet soldiers during World War II still remember the poem "Wait for me …". It was a poem sung by Red Army soldiers during the Soviet Patriotic War. A song like Katyusha was sung in China for a while. In Lan Yingnian's new book "The Boat of Life Crushed by Reality" (Flower City Edition), the author made a new interpretation of the original intention of this famous article-1941year, Hitler treacherously attacked the Soviet Union, Stalin rushed to fight, lost ground one after another, and lost a large territory, which made people panic for a while. The top priority of Soviet leaders is to stabilize the people's hearts and arouse their fighting spirit. Just then, simonov's poem "Wait for me ..." was published in Pravda.
Once "Wait for me ..." was published, which had a great influence. Any adjective seemed pale and powerless, so we had to apply a sentence in the lyrics: "Where there are Red Army soldiers, you should recite" Wait for me ".Even the song Katyusha can't be compared with ehrenburg's political theory. The poem says: Wait for me-I will come back. You just have to wait hard until the gloomy rain reminds you of your sadness, until the heat is unbearable, until others no longer expect their loved ones and forget everything in the past. When there was no letter from home in that distant hometown, the people waiting together were disheartened-they were all tired.
……
Wait for me-I'll be back: Death is defeated by me again and again! ..... You saved my life in a hail of bullets on the battlefield. Only you and I can understand how I survived-just because, unlike others, you are good at waiting hard.
Soldiers in the front line and women in the rear put this poem as an amulet in their close-fitting pockets. When the husband thought that his loyal wife was waiting at the door and he was hugged by his beloved wife when he came back from the front, his fighting spirit doubled. The wife believes that her waiting can help her husband avoid death and return safely. What difficulties can't be overcome? It is rare for a short poem to have such a huge social function in the history of world literature.
Why did simonov write this poem? In an article about how to write "Wait for me", he wrote: "At that time, I wrote many poems on the battlefield in the west, on the moving chariot and in the bomb shelter, including this poem" Wait for me "for my lover in the distance ... because it expressed the deep thoughts and feelings of thousands of Qian Qian soldiers: relatives and friends were waiting for them, and they were worth waiting for. This kind of waiting can reduce the pressure of the war on them, and sometimes save their lives ... "He said the objective effect of this poem, not the inspiration that inspired him to write it. Asked privately, he replied, "I really don't know how this poem was written." It came out by itself. " Later, I added: "The incitement of love."
Although this last sentence is close to the original intention of creation, it is still too general. Simonov didn't tell the truth in public or in private, because he really couldn't say it: pray for his wife Valiya Sherova to wait for him, don't forget him, or force himself to believe that his wife is waiting for him at home, because he had a hunch that she wouldn't wait. Simonov's daughter, Martha simonov, made it very clear when talking about her parents in the article "I remember ……" published in the sixth issue of Spark Illustrated in issue 1993: "…… he loves her so much that he can't help writing. But she won't wait, even if "Wait for me" is written only for her. The last poem' You are good at waiting hard because you are different' has become an undoubted affirmation of millions of women, but for the author, it is a self-affirmation. He wants to believe and forces himself to believe with the stubbornness peculiar to men. " 1August 30, 995, Martha repeated the above passage almost word for word when answering a question from a reporter of Youth Daily, which shows that she firmly believes in her point of view. Why is Varia Sherova different from others and not good at waiting? This has to start with her relationship with simonov. To make it clear how they fell in love and broke up, we have to start with the life experience of Varia Sherova.
Sherova was born into a drama family, and her mother Polowitkaya was a famous drama actress. Sherova 17 years old was admitted to the drama school affiliated to the Young Workers Theatre, and stayed in the theatre as an actor after graduation. 1939 played the leading role in the movie "Stubborn Girl" and became famous in one fell swoop. Later, she starred in Waiting for Me, The Russian Problem and glinka, and became the most popular actress in the Soviet Union in the 1940s. She is beautiful, plump and sexy, similar to American movie star Monroe. 1938 met Anatoly serov, a Soviet fighter pilot. Serov fell in love at first sight and immediately proposed to her. Varia is afraid of marrying a pilot, and she is on tenterhooks all day. Once she went to Leningrad to perform with the theater. serov saw her off at the station and looked at Valiya reluctantly. When Valiya arrived in Leningrad the next day, he saw Sherov standing at the door of the carriage, with flowers in his hand. Valia was very surprised and asked him why he was here. Serov asked her to go straight to the airport, and a pilot friend took him to Leningrad. At this moment, Valia decided his life. After marriage, serov participated in the Spanish anti-fascist war as a volunteer, shot down six enemy planes and was awarded the title of Soviet hero. Serov died in a test flight on 1939, and Varia was in great pain. I gave birth to my son a month later. She said herself that she would never live without this child. In memory of his father, his son was also named Anatoly.
When simonov first met Varia on the stage of 1940 Young Workers Theater, it was a difficult time for her. Valia's beauty fascinated simonov. So Walia walked into simonov's life from the stage. All simonov's works from the first play A Love Experience to the mid-1950s were dedicated to Valiya Sherova. The marriage between simonov and Sherova became a beautiful talk in Moscow. Simonov is madly in love with Sherova, and is also very kind to little Anatoly. Children also like Uncle Kossa (simonov's nickname). However, Sherova's eyes reveal faint sadness from time to time. He once said to his girlfriend Uvarova: "The longer my son grows, the more he looks like his father. When I saw him, I thought of Anatoly, and every detail of the wonderful time we spent together was broken. Kostya is a good man, but I ... "A sensitive poet can't feel Sherova's inner fluctuation.
Marshal rokossovsky
After the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, simonov, like many writers, went to the front as a reporter for the Red Star. He had a premonition that Sherova's feelings for him would be cold and even change his mind. Intuition didn't deceive simonov. 1943, Sherova went to the front of Bryansk to perform with the orchestra, and met Marshal rokossovsky, the commander of the army. Commander Shuai Shuai, known as a handsome man, and a peerless beauty both fell in love. Sherova's heart set off an emotional frenzy that had long subsided. Unexpectedly, the all-powerful marshal was originally an affectionate seed, and the two fell in love very much. But in the cruel war years, the love of people in their position can only be short-lived. The short and passionate love not only deepened the existing rift between her and simonov, but also gave her a fatal blow. She numbed the burning pain in her heart with alcohol, and gradually became addicted and could not give up. Rokossovsky is also infatuated with Sherova. After the war, he often stood in front of simonov's apartment for a while, looking at the curtains in Sherova's bedroom. Many years later, Pavel, Sherova's old partner in the Young Workers Theatre, told him something he witnessed with his own eyes: once Sherova told him that a government official's car arrived in front of her house on time at five o'clock sharp, and the people in the car would "stand at attention" in front of the door for a few minutes, and said that he might have seen the man. At five o'clock, Sherova opened the curtains and a Jim car just arrived. When a man got out of the car, Pavel saw the marshal epaulettes on his uniform at a glance. From 65438 to 0949, rokossovsky was sent by Stalin as the Polish Minister of Defence, and Jim's car never appeared again. Since then, her relationship with simonov has deteriorated rather than improved. Sherova has been unable to control her feelings, and peach incidents have occurred from time to time. 1950, Sherova gave birth to a daughter. Simonov saw her and said meaningfully, "My hair is black, so it's mine? ! "simonov finally unbearable, from love to hate, break with her. They divorced on 1957. Simonov deleted her name in the poem "Wait for me", except for the word "Washer". At this time, simonov was a senior official, served as the Deputy Secretary-General of the Writers Association, and won the Stalin Prize for many times. He is already an influential figure. He didn't want Sherova's name to appear on posters and screens again, and the leaders of these institutions got the news. [4]
After the divorce, Sherova's life was very difficult. She left Lenin's Youth Theatre, did not stay in a small theater, and transferred to Moscow Soviet Theatre, but she still did not stay. Of course, this film has not been filmed again. I fought a lawsuit for a year for the right to raise my daughter Martha with my mother. My mother thinks that she is an alcoholic and has no right to raise her daughter, but should be raised by her. Although Sherova finally won the case, her spirit has collapsed. She and her son Anatoly drank too much and sold everything they could at home. The only one who survived was a letter from simonov. In 1970s, simonov was ill in hospital, and Martha came to visit him. Simonov asked her to take all his letters to her mother, and he returned them to her after reading them. After Martha delivered it, simonov asked her to pick it up three days later. When Martha received the letter, she found that her father suddenly seemed to be ten years older. Simonov said, "These letters seem to have been written yesterday. I'll cut out everything that mentions you and give it back to you. The rest must be burned and cannot fall into the hands of others. "
Nowadays, many people still remember the famous Soviet actresses in 1930s, such as Karova, Radnina and orlova, but who still remembers Sherova who fascinated the audience in 1940s? She was completely forgotten.
The difference between simonov's motive and social effect in writing this poem is so great that it is rare in the history of world literature.
Wait for Me —— Appreciation of Poetry
This work was written during the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union and touched thousands of people in Qian Qian at that time. It is extremely strong and persistent, and anyone will be moved after reading it.
B.C. is a famous Soviet drama and film actress valentina Cherova. Of course, simonov dedicated this poem to her, not that valentina is the "you" in the poem, but that the author himself is a character in the poem. The practice of giving literary and academic works to someone has a long history in Europe. For example, Galileo once gave his astronomical works to the king-the contents of this work are not necessarily directly related to the recipients.
We feel that this poem has a calling voice from beginning to end, which is constantly passed on to the lover through the distant distance and the cold inside. He did not describe the bullets, nor did he worry about the humidity, hunger or even pain in the trenches. His mind is on his lover, always thinking about the biting rain and frost she can bear, and he is worried. He firmly believes that the just war will win. Everyone knows that war is death, and victory is always bought with blood. Since it is a responsibility, there is no choice, but using the raw can rule out the dead, which is the same psychology for all participants. Among them, the loyalty of lover is one of the most important spiritual support forces for soldiers. The soldier loves his lover so much, and the pressure she may bear-feelings, thoughts, rain and dew, sadness, "others will no longer abandon their loved ones/all hopes in the past." Without my news, there will even be misinformation. For example, Katie saw Cronin on the list of dead soldiers published in the newspaper in the American movie Blue Bridge.
In the war, people in the rear may feel as harsh as the officers and men in front. Who dares to believe that their loved ones are safe and sound in the bath of blood and fire? My beloved son can't believe it, and my loving mother is shaking. They think that "I am no longer alive" is normal. The heroine of the Soviet film "Wild Goose Flying South" entrusted herself to others because of her long-term loneliness and physical desire. It is not uncommon for Katie to finally sink, because she believes that Cronin is dead and has no food and clothing. It can be said that the relatives in the rear felt the experience that the spirit gradually withered and died while waiting.
Poetry goes back and forth, calling again and again, with unspeakable entreaties. The soldiers' desire for survival and their relatives' desire for return are closely integrated in the poem, and the strong feelings are turned into complex whispers because of the cruelty and unpredictable results of the war. "Let the people who didn't wait for me/say I'm lucky-surprise" is the scene after the reunion. "You saved me from death." The sincerity of love touched the world and surpassed the power of God. This unprecedented prayer, the gap before the next charge.
Poetry has always excited people. It is the spiritual food for the people at the front and rear during the war. Those who failed to come back from the battlefield have read and recited this poem as the last gift to their loved ones. [5]
