Yu Youren's last poem "National Mourning"

Bury me in the mountains,

Look at my continent;

The mainland is gone,

Only crying.

Bury me in the mountains,

Look at my hometown;

My hometown is gone,

Never forget.

The sky is gray,

The sea is vast,

Shan Ye,

State funeral

Yu Youren's famous patriotic poem "Looking at the Mainland" (also known as "National Mourning") was published after Mr.1964165438+10/0 died in Taipei. Mr. Yu Youren, who lived in Taiwan Province Province in his later years, was very eager to return to his roots, but he didn't get it. 1962 65438+1October 12 He wrote in his diary: "After a hundred years, I would like to bury the wooded heights in Yushan or Alishan. People with high mountains and big trees can always look at the mainland. My hometown is Chinese mainland ". Soon after, Mr. Yu Youren wrote a poem "Looking at the Mainland" from196265438+1October 24th, with sincere and depressed feelings.

This is an elegy written by him to miss his hometown in mainland China, in which homesickness and homesickness are beyond words, and it is a swan song that touches the deep soul of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

1949, Yu Youren was taken to Taiwan Province province, but his wife and son stayed on the mainland, living far apart. Therefore, his "looking to the mainland" is not a general feeling of home and country, but a deep-rooted pain of life experience. The reunification of the motherland is the poet's lifelong pursuit.

Reading this poem gives people a deep sadness and patriotism. Due to well-known reasons, Yu Xiansheng lived in Taiwan Province Province for a long time and could not return to Sang Zi. However, the waves in the Strait kept separating, which could not stop him from looking at the mainland, missing his hometown and missing his loved ones.

The first two verses of the poem use the method of composition and steps, and are sung repeatedly, expressing deep yearning and attachment to the mainland and hometown, which is a strong expression of the poet's true feelings. Bai Juyi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, said: "Those who touch people's hearts don't put feelings first." It is this sincere and strong emotion and unforgettable thought that gives readers a strong shock and causes readers' feelings and thoughts. The first two sentences of the last paragraph of the poem borrowed two sentences from the northern folk song "Song of Yuefu", with overlapping words and vivid images! The last two sentences are "Shan Ye, there is national mourning!" The meaning is pun, rich. "Mourning the nation" comes from Qu Yuan's Chu Ci "Nine Songs". Nine Songs is a set of poems written by Qu Yuan during his exile, imitating the sacrificial songs of Southern Chu, and National Mourning is one of them, which is an elegy to mourn the soldiers. The so-called "mourning" and "Xiao Er Ya" said: "Ghosts have no owners, for mourning." The poet skillfully used "national mourning" to express his regret that he could not be buried in the mainland and returned to his hometown after his death. The ancients said, "When a bird flies back to its hometown, the fox dies first." Animals are like this, how can people be inferior? Man-made obstruction has separated relatives and separated flesh and blood. You can't go back to your hometown after death, and there is no peace. How can you read it without tears? With the help of these two poems, the poet expressed the feelings of many people who have the same experience as the poet: what they are haunting is the reunification of the motherland! Mr. Wang did not see the reunification of the motherland before his death. After his death, he was buried in Gaogang and looked to the mainland. How disappointing!

Now, Hongkong and Macau have returned to China, and we are looking forward to Taiwan Province Province, which has been blocked for half a century, returning to her mother's arms as soon as possible! I believe that a unified, prosperous and powerful China will soon stand in the east of the world! At this point, Mr. Yu Youren died laughing! Yu Youren's deathbed mystery

1In mid-August, 964, Yu Youren was hospitalized due to illness. One day in September, Yang Lianggong, an old subordinate of Yu Youren, visited him in Taipei Veterans General Hospital. Yu Youren was very happy, but because of his serious illness and sore throat, he couldn't say anything he wanted to say. Yang Lianggong then took his hand and asked, "What can the Dean say to me?" Yu Youren thought for a moment and held out a finger. Yang Lianggong doesn't know what this means. After a while, Yu Youren held out three fingers to Yang Lianggong. Yang Lianggong guessed several answers, but Yu Youren shook his head and denied it. Yang Lianggong had to say, "Dean, when you are better, I'll ask you what you just said, okay?" Yu Youren nodded his head. Since then, Yu Youren's illness is getting worse every day, and he is in a coma. 1964165438+1October 10 at 8: 08 pm, Yu Youren died at the age of 86. He didn't leave any last words, so people regard his poems on the mainland as his will. The body was buried in Guanyin Mountain, the highest mountain in Taipei, and a bronze statue facing the mainland was erected at the top of Yushan Mountain (the highest peak in southeast China) at an altitude of 3,997 meters. Yushan Mountain is steep, and the 4-meter-high bronze statue and building materials are carried bit by bit by members of Taiwan Province Mountaineering Association. Yu Youren finally realized his wish to climb high and overlook his native land.

The meaning of one finger and three fingers has always been a mystery. Later, Lu Keng, an old journalist, thought that Yu Youren's "one finger and three fingers" should be understood as follows: China will be reunified in the future, and his coffin will be shipped back to the mainland and buried in his hometown of Sanyuan County, Shaanxi Province.

"Three old houses, an ancient pagoda and a piece of dry cloth." This is people's evaluation of Mr. Sanyuan's former residence, and the old pagoda tree that has grown for more than 300 years has deeply touched Mr. Sanyuan. ..

When Yu Youren was young, he followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen and made outstanding contributions to overthrowing the feudal rule of Manchu. He actively advocated the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, initiated education and built water conservancy projects, and was a sincere patriot. He was an early poet of Nanshe, who wrote nearly 900 poems in his life. His poems, lyrics and songs are all accomplished. He wrote many poems that entrusted the rise and fall of the country and the nation, such as You Jian Wen Cun and You Shi Ren Shu. He is also a famous calligrapher and founded the calligraphy art of "Yu Ti". Lin Yutang once said: "Among contemporary calligraphers, Yu Youren, the supervisor, is the best model, and the status of the supervisor today depends in part on his reputation for calligraphy."
