Why is it called index finger? Because we always use our forefinger to slander or accuse others, the poet thinks that pointing at others' backs will never hurt a person with a sound personality.
The forefinger was persecuted for saving the besieged teacher during the Cultural Revolution. 1968 went to Xinghua Village in Fenyang, Shanxi Province to jump the queue, but the village referred to by the shepherd boy was not poetic, and heavy physical labor hit the sensitive nerves and fragile body of the poet. He joined the army on July1,where he witnessed extremely cruel criticism, intense stimulation and schizophrenia.
Main works: I began to write poems during the Cultural Revolution, and "Believe in the Future" was criticized by Jiang Qing. His poems were copied by friends who jumped the queue and educated youth, which were widely circulated throughout the country and had far-reaching influence. I didn't stop writing even in a mental hospital.
The poetry of forefinger has an existential spirit of "no fantasy, no despair" to life. The philosophical depth of reflection on existence is comparable to Dostoevsky's brothers karamazov, especially his Mad Dog, which can be said to be a unique work in China's poetry.
Third, the background of the times.
Some people who participated in the rural movement later became writers through their own efforts, such as Shi Tiesheng, Liang, Zhang Chengzhi and Zhang Kangkang. They all create educated youth literature with their own personal experiences. However, more educated youths have lost the opportunity to receive education forever. They were the first to be laid off in the 1990s, and were often laid off by their work units and unemployed.
