"It's impossible to take off nature."

"If you take it off, you won't get a title."

but.

Chen Fan also knew that the fans were making fun of him.

It is impossible for them to think that they are Shu Ting.

And Chen Fan also said it just now.

The world he talks about today is not real, it all happened in another world.

So more people regard him as simply a story.

"Don't make trouble, everyone, let's continue to tell the story."

Although it is modern poetry.

But Chen Fan more often likes to explain these poems to everyone in the way of telling stories.

Just like Shu Ting's "To the Oak Tree".

If the story of Shu Ting is not told, I am afraid that many people will not know what kind of environment this poem was written in.

And why did he have such a great reputation for such a poem?

Is it a good use of words in this poem?
Or is the author of this poem famous?
No.

Shu Ting was just a newcomer in the poetry circle at that time, and she was not well-known at all.

As for the words used in this poem, it is the same as everyone's evaluation of modern poetry, they are all vernacular.

But it is such a plain language, but he is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

why?
This is because of feeling.

Through his own experience, combined with his own thoughts, the poet fits the society's psychology that men and women are equal, and that men and women should also be equal in love.

then.

This poem became famous far and wide.

Also at the same time.

Shu Ting also relied on this poem to make her one of the representatives of the Misty Poetry School in China.

……

But when it comes to representatives of Misty poetry.

Shu Ting is just one of them.

If we want to talk about Misty poetry, we must mention another poet.

The poet's name is Bei Dao.

"Shu Ting is one of the representatives of the Misty School of Poetry, while Bei Dao is one of the pioneers of the Misty Poetry School. In the Misty Poetry School, Bei Dao is the oldest and one of the earliest poets who created the Misty School of Poetry."

"Beidao's original name was Zhao Zhenkai. He was from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, not far from Hangzhou, where we are. But he did not live in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time, but in Beishi. But unlike Shu Ting, Bei Dao had never been a An educated youth, after he became an adult, he worked as a construction worker in a construction team in Beishi. If there is no poetry, perhaps Bei Dao may deal with architecture all his life."

"In 1970, Bei Dao and a few friends were visiting various tourist attractions in Beishi. At this time, a friend began to recite the poems of a poet named [Index Finger] on the bow of the boat. This had a strong shock to Bei Dao. He Unexpectedly, it turns out that poetry can be written like this. It turns out that poetry doesn’t need format or rhyme. Afterwards, Bei Dao began to write poetry.”

Bei Dao did not use Bei Dao as his pseudonym.

The reason why it was named Bei Dao was actually because he and his friend "Munk" wanted to start a magazine called "Today" together.

So Bei Dao said that he had to adopt a pseudonym.

But for a while I didn't know what pen name to choose.

His friend said, you are from the south, but you have been living in the north.

And he has written many poems before, all related to the island.

In addition, the North Island looks colder and more independent.

So Munk said, just call it Bei Dao.

Bei Dao felt that this pen name was quite suitable for him, so he has been using the pen name of Bei Dao.

"It's different from Shu Ting's poetry. Shu Ting is a female poet. Maybe she pays more attention to love, her own life, and the land under her feet. So her poems are more delicate and tactful. But North Dao is different, just like his pseudonym. Bei Dao is a very independent-minded person, he doesn’t follow the crowd, he doesn’t follow the crowd, he likes to think independently.”

"At that time, the domestic situation was not good, and some unthinkable things often happened. However, in that era, many people did not dare to say too much. At this time, Bei Dao took a series of events that they saw at that time. Turned into a poem in his pen. Once, he wrote a poem called "Answer."

【Despicable is the passport of the mean, and noble is the epitaph of the noble.

Behold, the gilded sky is filled with the crooked reflections of the dead.

The Ice Age has passed, why is there ice everywhere?
The Cape of Good Hope is discovered, why are thousands of sails competing in the Dead Sea?

I came into this world with nothing but paper, rope and figure,

To read those condemned voices before the judgment:
Tell you, world, I-don't-believe! 】

Many people have read this poem in previous lives.

But few people know that it was written by Bei Dao.

same.

This poem is also an answer to some messy things that happened in that era.

of course.

For the ridiculous events that happened in that era.

Bei Dao not only wrote this song.

Chen Fan continued: "In addition to the answer, there is another poem, which is also very representative. This poem is called "Everything."

【Everything is destiny

everything is smoke

everything is the beginning of no end

Everything is a fleeting pursuit
all joy without a smile
All suffering has no trace of tears...]

Yes.

This poem is very pessimistic.

Pessimistically, as the first sentence said, everything is fate, everything is smoke.

Although this is not exactly what Bei Dao wants to express.

but.

Many people feel very depressed and even a little uncomfortable after reading "Everything".

"Brother Fan, aren't Bei Dao's poems too pessimistic?"

Modern poetry is different from Tang poetry and Song Ci.

So more people can understand such poems better.

Because he can understand it at a glance.

And many use vernacular, even if you don't explain it, everyone knows the meaning of the poem.

Listening to the poems read by Chen Fan, some fans asked.

"There is some pessimism."

Chen Fan nodded.

"Brother Fan, can you tell us about that era?"

"We'll talk about this later."

Chen Fan shook his head.

This era cannot be explained clearly by Chen Fan in a few words.

And in many cases, Chen Fan may not be able to truly understand this era.

Even a group of experts may not really understand that era sometimes.

"However, although many absurd things happened in that era, not everyone was so pessimistic. As a representative of the Misty Poetry School, Shu Ting also met Bei Dao after she became famous. When she learned that Bei Dao Dao wrote this song "Everything", and Shu Ting also wrote a poem "This Is Everything" as an answer to Bei Dao's "Everything."

[Not all big trees are broken by the storm;

Not all seeds find no soil to take root;
Not all true feelings are lost in the desert of human hearts;

Not all dreams are willing to lose their wings.

No, not everything is as you say! 】

Yes.

compared to the North Island.

Shu Ting is undoubtedly more cheerful and has more expectations for the future.

Simultaneously.

Shu Ting's purpose in writing this poem is to hope that Bei Dao will not be so pessimistic.

In fact.

Although this poem was written for Bei Dao.

But this poem also inspired many people.

Many people saw Shu Ting's "This Is Everything", and more or less had a glimmer of expectation for the confusion at the time.

As Shu Ting said, not all dreams are willing to lose their wings.

Since they are unwilling, they will always work hard.

No matter how many difficulties you encounter.

As long as they are unwilling, they can think of a series of ways.

"Brother Fan, Shu Ting's "This Is Everything" is interesting."

"Well, one is pessimistic and the other is giving us hope."

"It seems that this era is really interesting, that is, a series of absurd events have occurred, but there are also people who have dreams and not only move forward."

Regarding their discussion, Chen Fan nodded.

Yes.

Think back to that era in the previous life.

It is precisely because of these ancestors who never give up that the whole country has incomparable vitality.

……

"Brother Fan, besides Shu Ting and Bei Dao, are there any other Misty poets?"

"some."

Chen Fan nodded: "For example, Gu Cheng."

Let's talk about Misty poetry.

That must be about Shu Ting.

Speaking of Shu Ting, Bei Dao is also indispensable.

But it would be a pity if both Shu Ting and Bei Dao talked about it, and if they didn't talk about Gu Cheng.

"Who is Gu Cheng?"

"Gu Cheng is also a representative of Misty Poetry School. He, Shu Ting and Bei Dao are good friends. However, compared to Shu Ting, Bei Dao, Gu Cheng's life experience is too dreamy."

"Fantasy? Brother Fan, what do you mean?"

"Let me tell you slowly."

Gu Cheng's life experience is really special.

Special arrival.

Few poets are different from him.

After thinking for a while, Chen Fan said: "Gu Cheng is the son of the poet Gu Gong, so Gu Cheng has been fond of writing poems since he was a child. He even became famous for writing poems when he was a teenager. Especially, in 1979, that is, A poem he wrote at the age of 23 made him famous all over the country. However, like many poets, Gu Cheng advocated freedom. He didn’t like the environment of the domestic poetry circle, especially when a writer’s association held a meeting, there was a classical poet The old critic constantly attacked Gu Cheng and other writers of Misty poetry, and even said a lot of ugly things. For this reason, Gu Cheng had an idea, he wanted to leave here and go to an ideal free kingdom."

"In 1988, Gu Cheng really had such an opportunity. He went to the University of Oakland, New Hiran as a researcher in the Department of Asian Languages. Later, he didn't like the noise of the city and the tedious work, so he and his wife Xie Ye went to the rapids. Originally, if there were no accidents, the two of them would have lived in seclusion there until a woman named Li Ying appeared."

If you want to talk about Gu Cheng, you must have Gu Cheng's emotional life.

And Gu Cheng has two love lives.

One is his wife, Xie Ye.

The other is this woman named Li Ying.

Let me talk about Xie Ye first.

"Gu Cheng's wife was called Xie Ye, and she was a lover of literature and poetry at the time. Once, she took a train and happened to be sitting with Gu Cheng. Facing the already famous Gu Cheng, Xie Ye was very excited. On the train, Xie Ye chatted with Gu Cheng a lot. Perhaps, the two fell in love at first sight. Xie Ye adored his idol Gu Cheng very much, but Gu Cheng was a little embarrassed. Although he felt that he liked Xie Ye, he didn't say it directly. She secretly left a note to Xie Ye. Xie Ye was very excited when he found the note when he got off the train. She followed the address of the note and searched from house to house. Finally, he found Xie Ye. Needless to say, Facing Xie Ye's love, the two got married after they hit it off."

Speaking of it.

A group of fans interacted with Chen Fan and said, "Brother Fan, why did this woman Li Ying appear later? Did Gu Cheng divorce Li Ying?"

"not at all."

Chen Fan shook his head: "Li Ying attended a poetry meeting at that time, and happened to meet Gu Cheng and Xie Ye in the poetry meeting. Moreover, Li Ying also became Xie Ye's good friend. Xie Ye probably liked and admired Gu Cheng too much. Yes, so when she chats, she always talks about Gu Cheng. She tells Li Ying Gu Cheng's temper, tells Li Ying Gu Cheng's hobbies, etc... In fact, Li Ying, who is a literary youth, also admires him a lot Gu Cheng is famous all over the world. Later, when Gu Cheng was attacked by many well-known members of the association, Li Ying gave Gu Cheng a lot of comfort and encouragement."

"However, after all, Gu Cheng is married. So, Li Ying didn't show anything for a while. Later, Li Ying fell in love with the editor-in-chief of the poetry magazine. It's just that Li Ying's love for Liu Zhanqiu was not because of him, but because of Li Ying. Ying wanted to get a job as an editor of a poetry magazine. But after the two got together, the relationship between Li Ying and Liu Zhanqiu was not very good."

"Until, when Gu Cheng and his wife Xie Ye went to New Xilan, Li Ying plucked up the courage and confessed to Gu Cheng directly. Even Gu Cheng's wife Xie Ye was there at the time. However, Li Ying didn't care about this. It’s because of this confession, even though Gu Cheng and his wife Xie Ye went to New Xilan, Li Ying and Gu Cheng have correspondence from time to time. Moreover, as his wife, Xie Ye not only didn’t stop it, but even facilitated it.”

This looks a little out of the ordinary.

In reality, there are many feelings that are not necessarily the same as normal people.

Chen Fan continued: "Maybe it's because he likes Gu Cheng too much, or maybe it's because Xie Ye didn't stop him. Not only didn't he stop him, but Xie Ye also made it happen on purpose. In the midst of some abnormal interactions like this, Li Ying was Invited by Gu Cheng, we went to Baihe Island."

"I'm sorry, what's going on?"

"Gu Cheng is married, what is Li Ying doing on Waiheke Island?"

"This this this..."

Everyone was a little dumbfounded.

At first they thought it was a love triangle.

It turned out later that this does not seem to be the case.

Later, they thought that it was just communication and nothing would happen.

If anything, it will probably be after the divorce.

or.

Even if it wasn't after divorce, it should be separated from his wife Xie Ye.

more or.

Gu Cheng is a cheater.

This is what everyone imagined.

but.

The situation of the three of them completely broke the three views of many netizens.

Gu Cheng and his wife Xie Ye are not divorced, and they feel that their relationship is still very good.

At the same time, Gu Cheng was with Li Ying again.

So, isn't this three people living together?

Yes.

All are adults.

He traveled thousands of miles from China and came to Waiheke Island just to see Gu Cheng?
"Maybe everyone is more open-minded. Gu Cheng is, his wife Xie Ye is too, and so is Li Ying. After coming to Waiheke Island, Li Ying, Gu Cheng, and Xie Ye lived together. Yes, as everyone imagines. The one thing is that they lived together very well. At that time, the relationship between the three of them was also very good, and no one was jealous. At that time, Gu Cheng was like an emperor in ancient times, living a dreamlike life."

Such feelings made everyone even more dumbfounded.

"I'm stupid, I'm so envious."

"Sister, although I was shocked just now, but now I really envy me."

Many people were shocked.

just.

Although such a relationship does not seem to be too much of a problem.

As long as everyone is willing, it seems that no one else has anything to say.

but.

Such feelings don't last long after all.

"The three of them lived like this for a period of time. Later, Gu Cheng and his wife Xie Ye went to another country to participate in a poetry meeting, and then kept Li Ying behind. But the Li Ying who stayed was the one who taught her English. Good luck to a foreigner. When Gu Cheng and his wife Xie Ye came back, Li Ying had already left Waiheke Island and headed for Sydney."

"This was a big blow to Gu Cheng. He thought that Li Ying's liking for himself was very pure and he would not have any other purpose. Later, he seemed to understand. The purpose of Li Ying's coming to Waiheke Island did not seem to be that simple. He just wanted to go abroad. That’s all. As for why she fell in love with the editor-in-chief at the time, it was Li Ying’s desire to get a job in the poetry magazine. And why he left Waiheke Island, it’s because, although Waiheke Island seems to be extremely free, like a paradise, But the life of the three of them is really hard here, and they don't have much financial income. So, she chose to be with foreigners. And choosing to be with foreigners is not because she really likes foreigners, but because she wants to get a green card..."

"Later, Gu Cheng went to look for Li Ying in many places, but he couldn't find him. For this reason, Gu Cheng wrote a book about his acquaintance with Li Ying and his life with his wife on Waiheke Island. This book is called "Yinger". I don't know why, but my wife Xie Ye was not happy after reading this book. She felt that Gu Cheng beautified Li Ying, but the real Li Ying is not like this. But the real reason is in the long In the life of husband and wife, Xie Ye could still worship Gu Cheng all the time. But because of the little things in life, especially the lack of material, this caused problems in the relationship between Xie Ye and Gu Cheng. Among them, Xie Ye also seemed to like One person."

sometimes.

Love is really not that reliable.

Maybe when you love, you love to death.

But if you don't love, then you don't have any thoughts.

"This blow is even bigger for Gu Cheng than Li Ying's departure. After all, Li Ying left as soon as he left. At best, Li Ying can only be regarded as Gu Cheng's lover. Although Gu Cheng is very uncomfortable, it is not a big deal. However, the emotional betrayal of his wife Xie Ye was unacceptable to him. Especially at that time, Gu Cheng was already prepared to live with Xie Ye properly, and he even wanted to take back his son who had been sent to another family. But now It seemed that everything was too late. But in such an environment, Gu Cheng could no longer accept reality. In the end, he picked up an ax and threw it at his wife Xie Ye. Afterwards, Gu Cheng hurriedly left a suicide note and committed suicide. An hour later, Xie Ye died of serious injuries and left."

Yes.

Gu Cheng's love life for a period of time was extremely dreamy.

So dreamy that all men are envious.

but.

After the dream, the blow of reality is too far from the kingdom of fantasy.

……

"After the story is told, it will be Gu Cheng's life."

Chen Fan sighed and said.

And when Gu Cheng's life ended, all the fans vomited blood incomparably.

"This this this..."

"Why does it feel a little bloody?"

Yes.

Everyone did not guess Gu Cheng's dream life.

Same with it.

Everyone still hasn't guessed Gu Cheng's ending.

But guess it or not.

Gu Cheng's life was completely different from everyone else's.

just.

After listening to Gu Cheng's story, everyone felt a little dizzy. At this moment, a fan remembered it and said, "Brother Fan, I seem to remember that this is a special live broadcast of modern poetry."

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded: "Gu Cheng is a very famous poet."

"Then what poems did he write?"

So much has been said before.

Although Gu Cheng bears the identity of a poet.

but.

A crowd of fans didn't appreciate a single poem.

Not only did not appreciate it.

Instead, they enjoyed a bloody love story.

After listening to it, some people began to doubt life.

Fortunately.

We are all adults, and we are not so easily influenced.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I haven't told everyone about his masterpiece yet."

Chen Fan patted his head.

If not for this poem.

It is impossible for Chen Fan to understand Gu Cheng.

And if it wasn't for this poem, how could Chen Fan tell Gu Cheng's story.

Although Gu Cheng's story is extremely bloody.

but.

Chen Fan really liked this poem so much.

like to.

Even if Gu Cheng's story was bloody, Chen Fan was more than happy to finish it.

"The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to find light..."

Facing the camera, Chen Fan read slowly.

Maybe you just glanced at this poem and didn't think it was so classic.

At most you will say, this is not badly written.

But it's far from being a classic.

There are many classic poems, and their sentences are often extremely beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people suffocate.

And this sentence, just seems to have some truth.

but.

If you look at the name of this poem again, then you will know why this poem can cause a sensation all over the country.

because.

The name of this poem is called "A Generation".
