"The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to look for light." It has been 4 years since the poem Generation was published in 198. In these 4 years, our country has undergone earth-shaking changes, let alone a person.
In today's society, people in China have long been in a state of "reading saturation". At ordinary times, even popular books are reluctant to read, let alone poems. Therefore, you probably can't imagine the glory of the battle of the gods in the poetry circle in the 198s, and Haizi, Gu Cheng, Beidao and Shu Ting are even more regarded as the four great talents in the 198s.
Unfortunately, Gu Cheng, a talented person who shocked the whole poetry world by writing a poem "Looking for Light", ended in tragedy. He was born in a poet's family in 1956, but in fact, people in that era would recite a few poems as long as they had a little knowledge of literature, which is the fashion of the times.
Gu Cheng also grew up in the "fashion" of poetry. He was different from other children since he was a child. He liked to be alone, watching ants read books and make up stories. When there was no audience, he would run to the house and tell himself to the wall.
The changes after the age of p>1 have brought great impact to the young Gu Cheng, and his mind has become very sensitive, but he is still eager to embrace the world and yearn for freedom. In 1973, at the age of 17, Gu Cheng began to write poems and paintings and began to publish his own works.
Since p>1977, his poem Dandelion has just been published in the tabloids, which has aroused great repercussions in the poetry circle. This dreamy style has made him a representative of misty poetry. From 1997 to 1982, his poems are pure, full of hope and bright sunshine, but they can make people have unlimited reverie and feel the beautiful world in his heart.
However, he is also a perfect idealist and individualist, with longing and paranoia for the fairy tale world. It was in 1979 that his wife Xie Ye met him. At first, Xie Ye's family opposed her marriage with Gu Cheng, thinking that Gu Cheng was just a minor poet, and sometimes she was too paranoid.
But Xie Ye was ready to accept everything from Gu Cheng. In 1979, she married a talented woman who had not known her for a long time. Xie Ye is also very talented. She is also a misty poet herself. Gu Cheng is very happy with her, and their life is what true love should look like.
However, a third party, Yinger, appeared. She was a talented woman from Peking University and was infatuated with Gu Cheng, who also fell in love with Yinger. However, Gu Cheng could not bear to part with his wife, Xie Ye, and Xie Ye made a surprising decision, agreeing to let her husband take Yinger home and live together.
This kind of thing is bound to arouse people's criticism. In 1988, Gu Cheng decided to take Xie Ye and Ying Er to live in seclusion in Rapids Island, New Zealand. He thought that such a life would be very happy. However, Gu Cheng's poetry has already turned from "bright" to "depressed". In addition, the domestic poetry market has been gradually depressed at the end of the 198s, and Gu Cheng has been hit again.
At first, Ying Er couldn't stand the three people living together. In fact, she had other lovers. When she felt that Gu Cheng couldn't love her only forever, she chose to leave Gu Cheng and go with a foreigner. Attend to city suffered a great blow. He told Xie Ye all his thoughts about Yinger, and asked Xie Ye to write a novel called Yinger for him.
Xie Ye collapsed. In 1993, Xie Ye, who had endured to the limit, filed for divorce from Gu Cheng. The fairytale world in Gu Cheng's heart was broken like glass. He raised an axe to Xie Ye. When Xie Ye fell in a pool of blood, Gu Cheng hastily left four suicide notes and hanged himself in a tree at home.
Before dying, Gu Cheng thought his wife Xie Ye was still alive, but unfortunately, Xie Ye missed the best opportunity to rescue him and finally died. As Gu Cheng himself said in his poem, "When I want to be a person, I lose myself." He learned his dream by himself in the absurd marriage life.
Beauty is Gu Cheng's lifelong belief, which runs through his whole life and his works. His poems can be divided into four stages: natural self, cultural self, anti-cultural self and no self.
