Guo Lusheng's poems:
Painful songs, just to ask the light.
Guo Lusheng's Believe in the Future spread like wildfire in China with its profound thoughts, beautiful artistic conception and catchy poetic style, and quickly spread to a generation of young people. But in that special era, the fate of his martyrs was doomed almost from the beginning.
Jiang Qing read Believe in the Future, and she was shocked and annoyed by the independent and uninhibited personality of poetry. She must find "a firm belief in the future/indomitable efforts/young people who overcome death/future and life?" "reactionary" poet.
As a result, a reactionary poet's hat was heavily buckled on Guo Lusheng, who was only 19 years old. Bad luck arrival? Poets are subjected to strict scrutiny and criticism.
Guo Lusheng grew up in an orthodox revolutionary cadre family. Just after he was hit one after another, just before he saw that the whole society was distorted by a kind of politics and expressed strong dissatisfaction in his poems, he still had a deep attachment to the country.
When the masters of misty poetry were still ignorant, the forefinger had written an epoch-making chapter. His works basically follow the traditional way of four lines and one section, seeking touching effects in the constant change of light and heavy sounds. He combined the time art of language with the space art of Chinese painting, and realized the artistic pursuit of "My poem is a window with thousands of autumn snow in Xiling".
His poems are simple, without flashy language. The early masterpiece "This is Beijing at 4: 08" still touches readers. This work describing separation was written in the upsurge of a large number of young intellectuals going to the countryside. The poet began to create this work on the train to jump the queue in Shanxi, and later it was edited into a masterpiece.
In Guo Lusheng's view, everything in this world is poetry, but there are too few happy poems or happy poems in this poem. Although he paid a heavy price for his hobby of smoking and drinking, he also wrote two beautiful poems about "smoke" and "wine":
Gorgeous wine pulp seems to be made of blood.
The glass of joy overflowed with crazy enthusiasm.
Now this cup is shaking in my excited hands.
You have a pair of beautiful eyes that fluctuate.
I have been intoxicated with joy.
But for peace of mind.
Here's to that.
Drink your infatuated wine.
Throughout his poems, although we feel more depressed than relaxed; Not happiness, but pain. But in that kind of depression and pain, we can also see that he is always longing for and longing for the light, and he is also fighting for the ideal and light.
Guo Lusheng is a man:
A man with a faint sadness in his eyes
Guo Lusheng is a talented poet, but he never pretends to be a genius. He was famous among young people at that time, but he was never proud of his poetic name. His life is simple. He always wears a clean, white-washed old military uniform and a pair of old military rubber shoes. He never tries to beautify himself. Perhaps this is a common problem of poets. When he was in junior high school, he was associated with cigarettes and alcohol. He repeatedly gave up smoking for 30 years, which seriously affected his health.
Poets are naturally sentimental, especially Guo Lusheng. In my memory, his eyes have never been bright with happiness. Whether he squinted and recited poems affectionately or opened his eyes wide with surprise, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, full of melancholy and a trace of sadness.
At the time of writing this article, Guo Lusheng's energetic appearance, slightly tilted body and shy smile conjured up the appearance of 30 years ago in front of me. At that time, whether in the study of Mr. He Qifang, his most respected poet, or on Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace; Whether in his home in Baiwanzhuang, Chen Chen District or in a secluded teahouse in Beihai Park, when we get together, all of us will be influenced by his emotions, either happy or sad.
Guo Lusheng, a poet, has no shortage of girls' pursuits, but Guo Lusheng, who is quick-witted and brilliant in poetry, seems so plain and shy in his love for the opposite sex. He evaded the pursuit of girls, and he used his lack of love to cover up his heavy love.
"It is the love of God. . 。” This poem, written by Guo Lusheng in April 1968, is also superior to the love poems of many famous poets at home and abroad:
Is God's love the wind/chasing the frivolous clouds in heaven/forgetting to be in hell/having two heavy hearts/is God's love the paddle of a heart boat/inadvertently shaking the seal of the moon in the middle of the lake/forgetting to be in the waves/having two broken hearts?
This poem was written by Guo Lusheng for a simple, beautiful and kind Uighur girl who was deeply attached to him. Secular prejudice stands between them like a mountain, and they have to bury their pure love deeply in their hearts until their lives are eternal.
The vicissitudes of life have passed for 30 years. But this sad poem, this real and moving past, makes people feel sad after reading and listening!
When Zhihu wrote about him, his forefinger repeatedly asked him on the phone and never said anything too high. If people want to know his current situation, they can sum it up in four words: enjoy life. This is even sadder. He only earns 500 yuan every month now. He buys some food before going to the market and reads books on weekdays. This is enjoyment! The forefinger got married again in May last year, and his wife is a gentle and virtuous nurse.
