1922, Wen Yiduo went across the ocean to study in the United States, with a thin collection of Du Fu's poems in his luggage. He saw the development of the United States, and he thought of poverty and war in China.
In a letter to his family, he said: "It is hard to describe the taste of a thoughtful young man from China staying in the United States." In the United States, some students from China went to get a haircut, but they didn't go in because they were colored. Although they won the case in court.
But even the shopkeeper asked China students to have their hair cut secretly. At the graduation ceremony, it is customary for men and women to form a group of two to receive their diplomas, but six China boys can only form three pairs by themselves and walk onto the podium.
Because no American girl wants to stand with them. Every time I hear and see this, Wen Yiduo will break his pen painfully. At that time, in China, warlords were fighting and people were in dire straits. He knows that many words are hard to read.
Can be used to describe the suffering of the motherland, but his poem is "I want to praise the flowers of my motherland, I want to praise my flowery motherland." Some people say: "The country is corrupt and ugly everywhere, and it is not worth loving."
Wen Yiduo retorted sadly: "No, as long as it is your motherland, no matter how ugly or evil it is, love it." He often sends his poems to friends in China.
I often remind you: "Don't get me wrong, my view of home is narrow. I think of the mountains and rivers in China, the vegetation in China, the birds and beasts in China, the houses in China and the people in China. " .
2. When you are disappointed, concentrate on the ivory tower.
The country has been trampled repeatedly, and its own people have been killed repeatedly. Wen Yiduo, who is far away in America, can't stay any longer. He wants to share his destiny with his motherland. 1925 ended her five-year study abroad career ahead of schedule and eagerly embarked on the road home.
However, the "May 30th Massacre" and "March 18th Massacre" occurred one after another, which ruthlessly destroyed Wen Yiduo's vision of saving the country and the people, and his belief pillar on which he relied collapsed. Disappointed, he put down his pen and began to write poems.
Put aside those bloody words and send them to the ivory tower to concentrate on the study of ancient China literature. He even hoped that there was a good way to save the world in this ancient book. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/930, Wen Yiduo was employed by the National Qingdao University as the dean of the College of Literature and the head of the China Literature Department.
At that time, Qingdao was a city with serious influence of colonial rule, and the Japanese were arrogant and evil here. Some students of Qingdao University were beaten black and blue by Japanese ronin on the beach for no reason, but the Japanese ronin sent the students to the police station instead.
At that time, the government police called the school while flattering the Japanese and accused the students of indulgence. After listening to it, I was furious. While talking to the headmaster, he shouted, "China! China! Are you dead? "
Under the strong protest of Wen Yiduo and the students, the police had to release the students. During the period of 1932, the power and interest dispute between Nanjing National Government and Shandong local forces extended to Qingdao University, and the school was full of filth. Wen Yiduo was repeatedly attacked and forced to resign.
The injury and stimulation suffered in Qingdao University will be hard to erase for a while. Wen Yiduo returned to Tsinghua campus again, with a desk, a three-foot platform, a small building and a yard surrounded by his wife and children. But the comfortable life did not make Wen Yiduo forget to pay attention to the current situation in China.
3. Write "Song of Seven Sons" in anger.
/kloc-in the summer of 0/925, Wen Yiduo returned from studying in the United States. Walking off the ship, the poet could hardly restrain his excitement, threw his suit and tie into the river and rushed to the embrace of his motherland. However, what awaits him is boundless darkness and great shame.
Looking at home, the mountains and rivers are broken, the wind and rain are like a rock, the jackals are in power, the powers are rampant, and the motherland is divided and occupied by others. The poet wrote the poem Discovery in grief and indignation, and then published the famous patriotic poem Song of the Seven Sons in Modern Review.
4, the last speech
1946 On the morning of July 15, the Supreme Court of Yunnan University held a hearing on the death of Mr. Li Gongpu. Wen Yiduo resolutely went to attend. For security reasons, he was not scheduled to speak in the report.
Just as the lady sobbed and reported that Mr. Wang had been murdered. The spy who sneaked into the meeting took the opportunity to make trouble. Wen Yiduo was furious after seeing it, and published "The Last Speech", which is full of vigor and will go down in history forever.
In his speech, Wen Yiduo strongly condemned the criminal act of killing Li Gongpu by secret agents as "the most despicable thing in history!" He said, "What crime did Miss Li commit and was killed by this?
He just writes with a pen and speaks with his mouth, but what he writes and says is nothing more than the words of a China person who has not lost his conscience! He swore: "You killed a Li Gongpu, and millions of Li Gongpu people will stand up!" !
You will lose millions of people! He emphasized to the people present: "Now is the darkest time before dawn, and we have the power to break this darkness and strive for light! Our light is the end of the reactionaries! "
In the afternoon, Wen Yiduo rushed to Democracy Weekly to attend a press conference held by NLD for the assassination of Li Gongpu. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Yiduo was killed by several spies on his way back to Xicangpo dormitory.
Wen, the eldest son of his colleague, was also seriously injured to protect his father. Wen Yiduo, an enthusiastic poet and a warm-blooded soldier, strutted forward and met "the arrogance of darkness" with perseverance. He left us his most perfect and greatest poems.
His blood, together with the blood of thousands of revolutionary martyrs in Qian Qian, Qian Qian, flowed into the revolutionary torrent of China people's struggle for liberation and dyed the flag of People's Republic of China (PRC) red. He used his life to compose a song of national justice that resounded through the sky!
5. Return to China to teach
1After returning to China in May, 925, he served as the provost of Beijing Institute of Art, and was engaged in the editing of Poetry, a supplement to the morning paper. 1928 65438+ 10 published the second book of poetry, Dead Water, which showed deep patriotic passion in decadence.
It marks his progress and achievements in new poetry. Since Wuhan University, Wen Yiduo has devoted himself to the study of China's ancient literature. He started from Tang poetry and went back.
From the poems of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties to the Songs of Chu, from Zhuangzi to Zhouyi, from ancient myths to prehistoric literature, at the same time, amazing efforts have been made in ancient philology, phonology and folklore, covering a wide range and in-depth research.
Guo Moruo lamented that the achievements were not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/930, Wen Yiduo was employed by the National Qingdao University as the dean of the College of Literature and the head of the China Literature Department.
