According to Yu Xiuhua, this marriage has no emotional foundation from beginning to end, and it ended in divorce, which is completely reasonable and nothing strange. However, you see the excitement of the media-the divorce of poetess Yu Xiuhua contains many topics, which is simply a rich mine of gossip news.
Of course, Yu Xiuhua is famous for her poems. Poetry and literary criticism, represented by Poetry Magazine, took Yu Xiuhua's works and creations seriously, and planned and organized a series of activities of publishing, discussing and popularizing Yu Xiuhua's poems. In these serious cultural activities, we can't see too many labels about her own physiology and private life-she is a talented poet and has created a series of excellent poems.
Unfortunately, in the noisy mass media and more noisy online public opinion field, the topic surrounding Yu Xiuhua is far more than her poetry and creation. Cerebral palsy, peasant status, overnight fame, income from manuscript fees, promotion and salary increase, as well as her love, marriage and private life, have become the key words of public discussion. Even her famous work, many people only remember the sensational title-sleeping with you halfway across China.
An excellent poetess is watched and discussed by public opinion as a performance art, which is a black irony metaphor. The soul longing for beauty, love and freedom is imprisoned in a disabled body and an unfortunate life-disability, disease, poverty and loveless marriage, which hangs over her life like fate. That unyielding soul never gave up singing. Just like the legendary thorn bird, when the sharp blade of life pierces the deepest part of life, she is full of blood and tears and sings the saddest song.
However, in the noisy crowd, not many people are willing to listen to her singing. Who cares about the soul in the superficial era of "face value is the Tao"? Her disabled body, difficult words, bold poems and occasionally outrageous remarks, like a series of unusual symbols and labels, are spliced into rare wonders, which arouse people's interest in watching and exploring strange things. These are more newsworthy than her poems and creations, even more newsworthy than her life and destiny itself, and can form a widely spread topic. The excitement caused by Yu Xiuhua in the public opinion field, poetry is a topic from beginning to end, and it is an introduction. The real excitement is always outside of poetry, even irrelevant to poetry. A serious poet whose life is creation is deconstructed and spoofed by public opinion and becomes the object of consumption and entertainment. This is the sorrow of the poet, the sorrow of the public and the sorrow of the times.
Even, this kind of sadness is not held by Yu Xiuhua alone. In recent years, how many topics around poetry and literature are poetry itself, and how many are based on boring gossip and saliva wars between poetry and literature? In recent years, all kinds of unbearable rumors surrounding Lu Xun's literature prize have been unbearable to read. Even around the various topics of Nobel Prize in Literature winner Mr. Mo Yan, how many are discussing his works and creation itself?
The rise and fall of the whole cultural and artistic career, including poetry and literature, depends not only on the creation of artists, but also on the cultural and artistic education of the whole public and the cultural and artistic atmosphere of the whole society. In a society with a strong cultural and artistic atmosphere, many ordinary people love reading poems and novels, watching cultural performances and buying original paintings to decorate their homes and private collections according to their own abilities. The resulting social atmosphere and cultural and artistic market space are the soil and water that nourishes the flowering and fruiting of the art tree. If only the works of famous masters are praised by the society and sought after by the market, ordinary cultural and artistic workers will even have the problem of supporting their families; If the cultural and art market is not based on the artistic value of works, but is full of dirt such as money laundering, speculation, investment speculation and even corruption and bribery, how can culture and art flourish healthily? If a serious poet becomes the object of ridicule and ridicule by the public, this public hobby of consuming everything and entertaining everything is probably far from the real culture and art.
