"Visit" Shu Ting

It is said that Gulangyu Ishi is literary and romantic, and the same is true in the imagination. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., I searched for poems under the flower-front tree on Gulangyu Island. The first stop is an English-style villa on Fuzhou Road, where historian and poet Lian Heng is said to have lived; the second stop is deep in a quiet alley on Zhonghua Road, which is said to be the home of the poet Shu Ting.

The literature and romance of Gulangyu Island, many from Shu Ting bar. Every time I think of Gulangyu Island, I think of a female poet who has written exciting poems.

Except for a few electric sightseeing cars, there is no other means of transportation on Gulangyu Island, buses, private cars, and bicycles. The island is on foot, and you must take a boat to get out of the island. When Mr. Lian Heng ran a newspaper in Xiamen, he also lived in Gulangyu Island, and the newspaper office was in Taishi Lane on the main island of Xiamen, taking a boat back and forth every morning and evening. The road on the island is also very strange, after branching, forking, turning, or this road name, according to the Tusso "trace" is not a handy thing. Fortunately, Shu Ting, who was famous for her obscure poetry in the 1980s, is still famous after nearly forty years, and the information on the Internet is enough to piece together a complete strategy.

Shu Ting, who has lived in Gulangyu Island for decades, has been troubled by this matter, and there are always tourists who come to her home and disturb her normal life. It turned out that there was a tourist map that marked the location of her home. Later, Shu Ting complained in many ways and deleted her address from the tourist map, so that she could restore the original tranquility of her life.

In front of you is Shu Ting's home, the big iron door is locked, there are more than a dozen steps inside the door, above the steps is a large courtyard, on the right side is an old and silent small building, a small sign on the windowsill, has been damaged, faintly visible "private residence, refuse to visit" words. It seems that people are not at home, and even at home I am not qualified to disturb them. It is said that Shu Ting's neighbors are very hospitable and willing to tell tourists about interesting things about Shu Ting's life. Of course, I can't disturb her neighbors. Only to learn that Shu Ting's friends revealed online that her daily life is very exquisite, just like her poetic language, clean and warm.

The writer Zhang Kangkang said that Shu Ting was "the first writer in China to complete a poetic dwelling", which was probably realized when she returned to Gulangyu Island after ending her career as a young intellectual a few decades ago. In Shu Ting's own words: The source of my life is Gulangyu Island. But she also has to live, but also to face the parents of the short, chai rice oil and salt, there are her own worries about endless things. The small building where she lives is an old mansion built in disrepair in the 1930s, and there is a "historic building" sign hanging by the municipal government in front of the door.

For Gulangyu Island, Shu Ting is attached from the bottom of her heart, and she writes in the book: "Gulangyu Island has firmly tied me to the corner of her clothes. She can't dump me, I can't leave her. Under the sunlight rock, I stopped by the wall of poetry, which is engraved with Shu Ting's "Bougainvillea Under the Sun Rock" created in August 1979: "... It's all your flowering period / Oh, look up is you / look down is you / close your eyes or you / even if you are in a foreign country he water / just think of / triangle plum under the sun rock / eyes are soft as a dream / heart, I don't know whether it is sadness or joy. "I don't know Bougainvillea, so I think of her as Shu Ting." When I did not see this flower, my heart fell silent with this flower; when I came to see this flower, my heart blossomed with this flower. The Gulangyu Island in my mind is Shu Ting's Gulangyu Island.

It is said that there are already few indigenous people on the island, and there are more tourists and more people who run tours. There is certain news on the Internet that Shu Ting rarely lives in Gulangyu Island in recent years, and she is helpless to the increasing noise of the island. I never intended to visit hastily, nor did I expect to meet the poet by chance—it was not impossible on a small island on foot, but my footsteps were only at the door. I just want to interpret the memories, dreams and looks of the past into a consummation in the name of poetry. Because on the island, the poems she spoke for Gulangyu Island can always be encountered, and most of the poetry of Gulangyu Island starts from the small building where she lives.

The two-story building at No. 35 Huangyan Road is the former residence of Zhou Zhizhen (Shou Qing), and Mr. Lian Heng frequented it during his newspaper operation in Xiamen. When he left Xiamen, there was a verse that read, "When he came back, he drank and sang and sang the mountain of the waves." In this way, I also found the rest of the poetry.

On the green space on the east side of the former residence, there is Shu Ting's poem "If I Love You" carved stone: "Love -/ Not only love your mighty body, / Also love the position you insist on, the land under your feet." "Huangyan is actually another way of writing sunlight rock, and the two generations of poets Lian Heng and Shu Ting have met wonderfully in time and space.

The poem on the stone is from the collection of poems "To the Oak Tree". At that time, Shu Ting used a few lines of obscure verses to enlighten the chaotic love world of Chinese and became a sign of the times. "To the Oak Tree," which I read in a collection of poems thirty years ago, is now a must-read poem in every high school student's textbook. The verses I have copied have been carved into the tablets.

Walking through her door and taking pictures of her poems on my phone, I was "visiting" Shu Ting. "Visiting" Shu Ting's trip to Gulangyu Island can be called the poetry and distant places I yearn for.
