More than half of spring is gone, but it’s still cold; plus it’s been raining all day long, and I sit alone late at night, listening to It's a bit desolate
It's also because I got a letter from afar in the afternoon, asking me to write a preface to Bai Mang's poem; that letter
It started by saying: "I'm afraid you know about my late friend Bai Mang..." - This made me even more melancholy.
Speaking of Bai Mang, - Yes, I know. Four years ago, I once wrote an article "In Memory of Forgotten", in order to
forget them. It has been five years since they died, and my memory has long been covered with a lot of fresh bloodstains; at the mention of this, his young appearance appeared in front of me again, like As if he were alive, he was wearing a big cotton robe on a hot day, with his face covered with oil and sweat. He smiled and said to me: "This is the third time. I came out on my own. In the first two times, my brother bailed out. He If he wants to interfere with me, I won't inform him this time..." - I guessed wrong in the previous article, this brother is Xu Peigen [3].
The aviation director and he finally became brothers who came to the same destination through different paths; his name was Xu Bai, and his more common pen name was Yin Fu.
If a person still has friendship, then collecting the posthumous notes of his deceased friend is like holding a fire, and he will often feel uneasy, just to
it tries to spread it. I understand this feeling very well, and I also know that I have obligations such as writing a preface. What makes me sad is that I don’t understand poetry at all.
I don’t have any friends who are poets. Once in a while, I finally have a falling out, but I didn’t have a falling out with Bai Mang. Maybe he died too quickly
p>That’s it. Now, I won't say a word about his poetry - because I can't.
The birth of "Children's Tower" is not to compete with today's ordinary poets, but has a different meaning. This is the glimmer of light in the east, the sound of arrows in the forest, the buds of late winter, the first step of the march, the banner of love for the pioneers, and also
< p>It is a monument to the hatred of the destroyer. All the so-called sophisticated, concise, quiet and distant works do not need to be compared, because this poem belongs to a different world.There are many people in that world, and Bai Mang is also their deceased friend. This alone, I think, is enough to ensure the existence of this collection, so there is no need for my preface.
On the night of March 11, 1936, Lu Xun wrote about Qie Jie Pavilion in Shanghai.
