Newspaper poem

The charm of the Republic of China has only gone for a hundred years, but some things are like unspeakable fog, which covers our eyes of recalling time and makes people unable to see those dusty things and youth clearly. During the romantic period of the Republic of China, a well-known case was the love-hate entanglement between Xu Zhimo and Lin, that is, did they ever fall in love?

There are many sayings that have been circulated so far: some say that Xu Zhimo is unrequited and romantic, and Lin simply ignores him; Others say that the two of them do have an affair, and you are willing to do it, even to the point of talking about marriage.

According to her daughter Liang Zaibing's memory, her mother once said: At that time, Xu Zhimo, who was married and married, was just a brotherly friend, not an object of marriage. Not first love, not love.

According to her son Liang Congjie's memory, her mother once said: It is incredible that a girl who grew up under the influence of the old ethics would fall in love with a married man who is eight or nine years older than herself, as some people say.

According to the testimony of this family of three, Xu Zhimo seems to be a clown who goes his own way, just sticking his hot face on each other's cold back. But their confessions are not objective and irrational, because they will inevitably protect their mothers, so their credibility is greatly reduced.

We might as well start with a poem written by Lin to Xu Zhimo to spy out this long-buried secret. Around 1930, it was the climax of Lin's poetry creation. She wrote a modern poem called "That Night", which concealed the secrets for many years and caused a lot of public opinion fluctuations.

This poem is written for Xu Zhimo, and there are many stories hidden between the lines, which can just be related to the rumors in the rivers and lakes, so many newspapers dare not publish it easily. Poems that the famous poet Chen did not dare to include, because they are easy to cause social controversy, were still selected and submitted together. However, the level of Still is obviously not as good as that night. This shows that Chen has some considerations.

However, others dare not send it, but Xu Zhimo dares! 193 1 In April, Xu Zhimo published this song "That Night" in Poetry magazine. Next, let's look at the content of the poem and what stories Lin has hidden in it.

That night, you held my hand,

The lost starry night blockade relieves anxiety.

That night, you and I parted ways,

Each of them realized the emergence of life.

What exactly does "that night" mean? Judging from the first paragraph, they broke up "that night", but it was a peaceful breakup, and it was "your hand holding my hand", and they were reluctant to part. During this period, Lin did not seem to shy away from the relationship with Xu Zhimo, and directly wrote it hand in hand. You can imagine how intimate and sweet things are that are not written.

The reason why they broke up was that Lin Juemin refused to let her daughter be a third party, so obedient Lin had to say goodbye. After all, she was only 16 years old, and her mind was not fully mature, so she was easily influenced by other people's opinions.

My boat is still floating on the sea,

Thin masts often sway in the wind and waves.

So far, the sun has only wandered behind me,

Layers of shadows surround me.

The second verse mainly describes Lin's sadness and loneliness after that night. "Still", "Exquisite", "Behind" and "Shadow" all reveal her sadness. After that night, she was like a ship without an anchor, floating alone on the sea. She doesn't feel a trace of warmth, as if the sun always turns her back, and only darkness and cold surround her.

If Lin Yinhui doesn't love Xu Zhimo, will she feel this way? Now that she's in love, can 16-year-old restrain her inner hormones and refuse to be with Xu Zhimo? Xiaojie feels that the feeling is coming, and most people can't control it, let alone a girl who is eager for love.

Lin later recalled that time in London: "Ideally, I always wanted something romantic to happen, or someone knocked at the door, sat opposite me and told me stories, and most importantly, someone would love me." I dream of all girls, but it rains every day. I have never had a boyfriend, and I don't have a romantic and smart person to play with. "

It is conceivable that when Lin, whose heart is empty, suddenly meets Xu Zhimo, who is versatile and affectionate, what kind of sparks will be sparked. Xu Zhimo's gentlemanly demeanor, famous love poems and tearful love stories must fascinate each other deeply.

On that day, you will hear songs like birds.

That is, I am waiting for your appreciation.

On that day, you will see messy flower shadows.

That is, I broke into the border of that year!

To be honest, I don't quite understand the third paragraph, but the last sentence really caught people's attention. Does the "messy flower shadow" metaphor their multifaceted situation? Is Lin's involvement in the marriage between Xu Zhimo and Zhang Youyi a metaphor?

I don't understand. It's hard to say. Everyone has his own taste. After the publication of Night, Xu Zhimo immediately replied a poem: You go. At first, he wrote:

You go, I go, we break up here;

You don't have to worry about which way you go.

Look at that street lamp, it goes all the way to the horizon.

You just have to walk along this bright straight line!

From this point of view, Lin is determined to put an end to it completely, and Xu Zhimo seems to agree, but he still loves her, so he will always protect her until the other side of the light (because Lin said that "layers of shadows stay with me", so Xu Zhimo wants to send her to the bright horizon).

At the end of "You're gone", it is written like this:

More importantly, it will shine on my heart forever;

And that sleepless pearl, I love you!

After all, Xu Zhimo still loves her very much. When the other person chooses to leave, he is willing to stand in place and guard her. As long as she is happy, it doesn't matter to him. Of course, Xu Zhimo's emotional enthusiasm is well known. Even in this case, he still wants to shout: "I love you!" " "

Through the above analysis of that night and Xu Zhimo's poems, we should be able to make a judgment: Lin and Xu should have fallen in love during their stay in London. But it is also this fruitless love that makes Lin criticized as a third party who destroys other people's marriage; Lin Hui is now called a "green tea bitch" because of the inconsistency in her early and late years and the reasons for making friends in her life.

But then again, this poem is really well written, and I especially like these two sentences:

On that day, I will step on an arrow with wings.

Look at your garden and shoot a complete string.
