Heroes are born in troubled times, and there are strange feelings in troubled times. The chaotic era of great change is also a big stage for the awakened Chinese children to enlighten their lives. Born in a rich family, he had a strange marriage with Kuomintang spy Shen Zui; Going to Yan' an and creating red classics ... Reading Moyer's life course will make future generations applaud, be filled with emotion, or be amazed. Marshal He Long said: "Moyer is an excellent female writer in our 120 Division." The famous writer Du Pengcheng said: "Moyer's life is a novel." How many little-known legends are hidden behind this red talented woman?
Oppose feudal customs, teenagers run away from home
Moyer grew up smart and studious. /kloc-when he was 0/0 years old, he competed with his eldest brother in poetry and improvised: "Spring is new, you can go to the pavilion in the mountains. The pavilion is really clear, and the wind blows wild flowers. " She is recognized as a talented woman by her fellow villagers.
19 19 The May 4th Movement broke out, which shocked all walks of life and was deeply rooted in people's hearts, and gave birth to the great spirit of democracy, science, patriotism and fighting. Although Moyer was born in a small village with a strong feudal atmosphere, he was still bathed in the new wind of the May 4th Movement. Moyer has his own opinions since he was a child and dares to challenge old ideas. When her father married a concubine, she bluntly reprimanded him in her composition. From 65438 to 0932, he moved to Gulangyu Island in Xiamen with his father and attended Ciqin Girls' Middle School founded by the famous overseas Chinese leader Huang. During her study at school, she read a lot of progressive books and periodicals, which aroused her writing enthusiasm. 1933, 15-year-old Moyer published a poem "Silent Expectation" in Blue Sky magazine, which shows that the seeds of longing for revolution and light have been planted in her young mind.
Moyer's Chinese teacher, party member Haitian Chen, discovered her writing talent and radical ideas, and organized her and several classmates to start the magazine Mars. The first issue published Moyer's novel rickshaw puller, accusing the old society of oppressing the poor. Later, after seeing this publication hidden at home, Moyer's father was extremely angry and had a fierce conflict with her. 1In the autumn of 934, 16-year-old Moyer left home for Shanghai with the help of his mother and eldest brother.
After arriving in Shanghai, Moyer often came into contact with some left-wing writers. She went deep into the factory to understand the lives of female workers and wrote many works to promote women's liberation.
Strange love and marriage with Shen Zui
After arriving in Shanghai, Moyer assumed the pseudonym of Baiyun and served as the proofreader, editor and editor-in-chief of Women's Monthly. Outstanding talent and handsome appearance make her easy to become the focus of attention, and deeply influenced by the May 4th Movement, she dares to pursue happiness boldly. 1934, Baiyun accidentally met a young reporter named Chen Cang, and this is the famous Kuomintang lieutenant general and military spy Shen Zui. Baiyun is warm, lively and generous. She is a radical and beautiful new woman in Shanghai. Since she met Chen Cang, a handsome reporter in a suit and tie, they fell in love at first sight and soon lived together. A year later, Baiyun gave birth to a boy for Chen Cang. Until then, they didn't know each other's real names, and Baiyun didn't think that Chen Cang's real identity turned out to be a military spy.
1937 after the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Baiyun joined the flood of anti-Japanese war, and together with the dramatist Zuo Ming, formed the "Fifth Team of Shanghai National Salvation Drama". She worked as a screenwriter and text propagandist, and wrote the anti-Japanese national salvation drama Scholar, which was published in Xijing Daily. After the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, Baiyun's "Fifth Team" was ready to move to the northwest rear area to carry out anti-Japanese propaganda and look for opportunities to go to Yan 'an. Baiyun naturally wants Chen Cang to go with her. However, Chen Cang knew that it was not a suicide to let him go to Yan 'an. ! Based on cherishing this feeling, Chen Cang summoned up the courage to tell Baiyun his secret career, but did not tell his real name. He hoped to get her understanding and give up the idea of going to Yan 'an. But Baiyun sees farther. She knew that there was no room for manoeuvre between herself and Chen Cang because of their different beliefs and fundamental positions, so she resolutely chose to break up and go to Yan' an alone with the "Fifth Team".
After that, Chen Cang still remembers Baiyun. /kloc-at the end of 0/938, Chen Cang was sent to Linli special training class in Hunan Province as an instructor. He published a notice in Xinhua Daily looking for the whereabouts of Baiyun. This notice happened to be overheard by Baiyun's good friend Zhao Qingge, so he told Baiyun. After all, there had been sincere feelings, and Baiyun quickly got in touch with Chen Cang, and the two began to associate. But it was extremely dangerous for both sides, because Yan 'an was investigating enemy agents at that time, and Dai Li repeatedly warned his men not to communicate with relatives and friends in Yan 'an. This matter was discovered by Yu Lexing, deputy director of the special training class and Chen Cang's brother-in-law, and was immediately severely stopped. In addition, Chen Cang repeatedly mentioned in his letter that he hoped Baiyun would leave Yan 'an to renew his old love, but they were all rejected, and the two quickly interrupted their communication. When their children grow up, they enter the Kuomintang Aviation School. On the eve of the liberation of the mainland, the children went to Taiwan Province Province with the school, and there was no news from then on.
Yan 'an ode, a spiritual song dedicated to the revolutionary holy land.
1937 10, Baiyun arrived in Yan' an with the "Fifth Team of Shanghai National Salvation Drama", and his life turned a new page. At that time, patriotic youths who defected to Yan 'an mostly changed their names to express their pursuit of revolution. She also changed her name to the homonym of the sword "Mo Xie" in Lu Xun's novel Casting Sword, and named it Mo Ye.
"The Fifth Team of Shanghai National Salvation Drama" was the first literary and art group to arrive in Yan 'an in the occupied area and the rear area at that time. Mao Zedong and other central leading comrades personally received and hosted a banquet for all the players. Mo Ye and captain Zuo Ming were arranged to have dinner at the same table with Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong said at the dinner table, "There are more literary and art workers in Yan 'an now. Is it necessary to run a school? " Other leaders of the Central Committee agreed. Mao Zedong went on to say, "Let's call it Lu Xun Art College. "Soon, Moye and the team were introduced by Luo Fu (Zhang Wentian) and entered the third phase of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. Moyer served as the cultural and entertainment Committee member of the rescue room.
1938, 10 In April, Lu Xun Art College was established, and its school site is located on the hillside of Dabiegou outside the north gate of Yan 'an. Moyer transferred from Kangda to Lu Yi to study, and her dormitory was in a cave on the hillside. Every time Moyer walks out of the cave and looks out, the first thing he sees is the towering pagoda standing head on. She often wonders when she can climb Baota shan. Snuggle up next to the pagoda and touch the masonry of the pagoda! Finally, one day, she waded across the Yanhe River alone and followed the winding mountain road to Baota shan. Before turning around, she visited the Yanhe River flowing at the foot of the mountain, saw the majestic ancient city and listened to the songs coming from far away in Yan 'an. Until sunset, she just enjoyed herself.
Yanhe gets along with her day and night. In the morning, female students from Mo Ye and Lu Yi lined up to the river, doing gymnastics, practicing pronunciation and singing on the beach of Yanhe River. In summer, students are still practicing swimming in Yanhe River, and both sides of Yanhe River are laughing and laughing. After dinner every day, in addition to performing or watching performances in the city hall, they will walk along the Yanhe River in groups and sing softly. Whenever the bright moon rises, the Yanhe River is crystal clear and full of poetry and painting. ...
In this way, the songs grew up with Moyer, and Yanhe, like them, always sang endless songs. Moyer often thinks, when can I sing exciting songs? Sing your own songs in praise of Yan 'an?
One afternoon, there was a meeting in Yan 'an city. After the meeting, Lu Yi's classmates walked out of the North Gate and climbed the hillside of the teaching building. Mo Ye and several classmates stood on the slope, watching the team of classmates and comrades coming out of the city and listening to their songs and slogans. This touching scene made her heart surge and her blood boil. At this moment, Zheng Lvcheng, a Korean student of the Music Department, was standing beside her. Seeing her excitement, she said to her, "Write me a lyric!" Zheng Lvcheng's request triggered a long-standing passion in Moyer's heart.
Although Moyer is familiar with the green mountains and green waters of her hometown in Fujian and has enjoyed the seaside scenery of Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, her second hometown, she thinks they are not as good as Yan 'an. The scenes bathed in the glory of the revolution aroused her infinite feelings, the waves of creation danced in her heart, and the poems that had been brewing for a long time churned in her mind. She seized the inspiration of this moment and began to pour her passion into a small notebook and write down the lyrics:
"The sunset shines on the tower shadow on the hill.
The moonlight reflected the fireflies by the river.
Spring breeze blows all over vilen,
The mountains form a solid barrier.
Oh, Yanan!
You magnificent ancient city,
Anti-Japanese War songs were circulated everywhere.
Oh, Yanan!
You magnificent ancient city,
Blood is running in your chest.
The hearts of thousands of young people,
Buried with hatred for the enemy,
In a long string of fields in Shan Ye,
Formed a solid front,
Look! The crowd raised their heads,
Look! The crowd has raised their hands.
Countless people and countless hearts,
He roared at the enemy.
The soldier aimed at the gun,
Prepare to fight the enemy.
Oh, Yanan!
Your majestic walls,
Build a solid anti-Japanese front.
Your name will live forever,
Brilliant in history! "
After Moyer wrote the lyrics, he wrote the title of the song "Singing Yan 'an" and gave it to Zheng Lvcheng. Zheng Lvcheng saw it and took it away happily.
Soon after, at the party held in Yan 'an Auditorium, the first program was Singing Yan 'an, which was sung by Zheng Lvcheng and female singer Tang Rongmei. With excitement and nervousness, Moyer wanted to hear the reaction of the audience, especially Mao Zedong and other leaders. After the singing, Mao Zedong clapped happily and the audience applauded warmly. The next day, Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China's comrades came to ask for the manuscript of Singing Yan 'an. Soon, Lu Yi's Secretary-General Viktor brought a printed manuscript to Mo Ye, telling her that Comrade Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China changed the title of the song to Ode to Yan 'an, and asked her what she thought. Moyer jumped up with joy and repeatedly said, "Good topic change! It's called Yan 'an ode! "
Ode to Yan 'an, which was born under the mighty Baota shan and on the turbulent Yanhe River, bears the lofty ideals and beliefs of countless revolutionaries, and has spread from Yanshui River and Baota shan to the anti-Japanese front and all China, becoming a glorious symbol of the revolutionary holy land Yan 'an. Therefore, Moyer was very popular in Yan 'an and became famous in one fell swoop.
An outstanding woman writer
In the winter of 1938, Moyer responded to the call of He Long, the commander of the Eighth Route Army 120 division, to "take up literary and artistic weapons to serve the revolutionary war", joined the internship team organized by Lu Yi, and went to the anti-Japanese front line in North China with writers Sha Ting and He Qifang as the teacher of the fighting drama club of the political department of 120 division, and later served as the head of the drama club creation group. She not only engaged in writing, but also participated in the compilation of the frontline publication "Fighting Literature and Art". In the same year, she joined the Literary Federation of the Jinsui Border Region on behalf of literary and art workers in the army and was elected as the executive director. At the inaugural meeting of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, He Long praised: "Mo Ye is an outstanding female writer in our 120 Division."
On the battlefield, Moyer fought side by side with the troops for a long time and won praise with high revolutionary enthusiasm and excellent work results. She cooperated with others and created a large number of plays, operas, dances and other works by herself. Most of the costumes performed by the drama club are cut and sewn by her, and sometimes she will perform on stage; She always carries a notebook in her pocket and can interview records anytime and anywhere. In the difficult period of the anti-Japanese base area, she often used a teapot to boil water and a handful of fried beans to satisfy her hunger. Sometimes after collective discussion, she writes a short play overnight and rehearses the performance the next day. 1in the spring of 944, Moyer was transferred to the Battle Report of the Political Department of the Jinsui Military Region as an editor and reporter. She volunteered to edit two pages, often went deep into the first-line troops and wrote a lot of battlefield communications and battle stories. In the earthen cave where she lives, the lights often stay on all night, and she still works or labors as usual during the day. 1in the autumn of 948, Moyer was transferred back to Yan 'an with the Battle Report, and1in the spring of 949, he marched into the northwest with the First Field Army.
1950, Moyer was the editor-in-chief of the People's Army newspaper of the Northwest Military Region, and later the editor-in-chief. In the same year, she gloriously joined the China * * * Production Party, and married Li Kenong's nephew and the president of the People's Army newspaper.
Because of the hardships of literary creation
From 65438 to 0955, Moyer was transferred to Gansu Daily as deputy editor. From 65438 to 0956, in the movement of "opposing bureaucracy and improving work style", with the consent of provincial leaders, Moyer published articles in Gansu Daily and distributed editorials, which caused great repercussions in society. 1957 during the anti-rightist movement, people related to this article were wrongly classified as "Rightists", so Moyer was criticized and demoted.
During the Cultural Revolution, Moyer was unfairly criticized and sent to the farm for labor reform. 1979, under the care of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the long-term injustice hanging over Moyer was completely rehabilitated. As the vice chairman of Gansu Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Moyer devoted himself to literary creation, successively creating screenplays, novellas and short stories, and editing and publishing collections and articles in memory of Chairman Mao, Peng, He Long and other revolutionaries of the older generation.
1On May 7th, 986, Moyer completed his 68-year life journey by mumbling Ode to Yan 'an.
