There was once such a man, who was full of talent and wrote countless classic verses. But his marriage and life are lamentable.
He stepped on two boats and interacted with two women at the same time; he was nervous, and once killed all the chickens he raised in a rage, and threw the chicken heads in bags to the community officials; he also asked his wife to type out his erotic history with others word by word, and finally killed her and killed himself.
Gu cheng
This man is the modern poet Gu Cheng.
"The night gave me a pair of black eyes, but I used him to find the light." Gu Cheng's modern poems are well written, but his concept of love is not agreeable.
Gu Cheng is selfish and has a strong desire for control. After he married Xie Ye, he controlled all of Xie Ye's life. He did not allow Xie Ye to stir-fry vegetables, did not allow meals to be made separately, did not allow Xie Ye to dress up, and all dresses had to go through his strict review, let alone appear in a swimsuit. She was not allowed to work, she was not allowed to study, and she was left to work and drop out of school to work as a full-time nanny for herself.
When Xie Ye's uncle and mother went to persuade Gu Cheng to let her continue to power up, he directly smashed the noodles in his hand on the head of his mother-in-law.
Xie Ye and Gu Cheng
You want to say that Gu Cheng loved Xie Ye too much and lost his mind, and Xie Ye also endured all this because of Gu Cheng's love?
In fact, Gu Cheng is also entangled with Li Ying, a student at Peking University.
As early as before Gu Cheng and his wife went abroad, Li Ying had confessed to Gu Cheng in front of Xie Ye, and what was unbelievable was that Xie Ye pretended to be indifferent and read a magazine on the side, not angry or noisy, and Gu Cheng on the side cried into tears because of Li Ying's confession.
Gu Cheng and Xie Ye
After arriving in New Zealand, Gu Cheng began to save money to save money to take Li Ying over and began the messy life of the three people.
"I need, the wildest wind, and the quietest sea." - "The World and Me. The Eighth Morning
The selfish Gu Cheng must also be narcissistic, as he says in this poem, he fantasizes that his wife Xie Ye can take care of his life, while his lover Li Ying is responsible for satisfying his carnal desires. And he believes that everyone can live in peace.

It has to be said that the "Virgin" wife, the "mentally ill" husband, plus an unscrupulous and mercurial third party, is doomed to a final ending that can only be tragic.
We often ridicule: more shocking than the artist, it is estimated that only the artist's love, the artist's romance often reveals that the moral sense of this group is unusually weak, these "strange people" are obedient, selfish and arrogant, and the morality is nothing in their eyes.
Georgia O'Keeffe, Alfred Stiglitz
The male photographer is 23 years older than the female painter, and O'Keeffe's female body has become his countless photographic masterpieces, which shows how lustful the photographer is. Not to be outdone in her old age, O'Keeffe found a boyfriend who was 60 years younger.
The writer Zhou Guoping once said: "If I were a woman, I would be happy to make friends with the artist, listen to him talk about his works, complain, and talk crazy." But I will never marry him. ”
Yoko Ono and John Lennon
Yoko Ono and Lennon have an emotional crisis and recommend their assistant Pang Fengyi to Lennon as a lover, and Lennon gladly accepts because he likes her flesh.
Speaking of the artist's love, the most appropriate word that can be thought of is "dog blood".
Of course, dog blood is certainly not the only one.
Broken love
The love between Abramovich and Ulay, the mother of performance art, is talked about by everyone. They are both partners and intimate partners.
2010 "The Artist is on The Spot" Duration: 736 hours and 30 minutes
In 1976 Abramovich met her soulmate, Ouray, a performance artist from West Germany, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Coincidentally, both were born on the same day. This love culminated in the peak of their performance art, and they began to work together to implement a series of works of double performance related to the meaning of gender and the concept of time and space.
They claim to be conjoined creatures, trusting each other completely in the way of conjoined babies, both exploring the existential relationships between people and loving each other in the process.
1980 "Potential" Rest-Energy, duration: 4 minutes
Potential is a 1980 work by Abramovich and Ouray. The two men stood facing each other and stared intently at each other, at the same time pulling a tight bow in their hands, and in Ulay's hand was pulling a poisoned arrow, facing Abramovich's heart, and if he was not careful, the poisoned arrow would shoot out of the string. At the same time, what was heard through the megaphone was the sharp acceleration of their hearts. The whole work lasts for four minutes and ten seconds.

You think the story ends here? You're wrong.
The destiny of love and the nature of the end can be said to be a utopian love story, and it can also be said to be a love drama of "show".
After breaking up with Ulay, Abramovich was completely a different person, and she became enthusiastic about shopping, buying high heels, going to a hair salon, and even running to Brazil to get breast augmentation and face laser surgery, completely without the style of the mother of performance art.
1978 "Breathing"
AAA-AAA 1978 Duration: 15 minutes
Finally, Ouray also filed a lawsuit against Abramović in 2015, saying that the works of Abramović and Ulay appeared in Adidas advertisements, and the proceeds should be divided equally between the two people, and Ulay won the lawsuit and received 250,000 euros in compensation. The love myth of the art world fell from heaven to the ground by this "tearing", which was unbearable to see.

Unrequited love
Accustomed to seeing the artist's amorous, ruthless, and even abusive feelings, let's take a look at the infatuated poet Yeats.
Yeats and Maude Gang
How many people love the joyous hours of your youth,
Adoring your beauty, falsehood or sincerity,
Only one man loves the soul of your pilgrim,
Love the painful wrinkles on your aging face;
—William Butler Yeats, "When You're Old"
Yeats was undoubtedly a talented man, an Irish poet, playwright and essayist who had won a Nobel Prize comparable to Shakespeare; but he was also a dedicated lover, "When I was 24 years old, the troubles that plagued me all my life began. In his memoirs, Yeats described his encounter with his Aphrodite, Maude Gunn.
Maude Gunn
"I never expected to see such extraordinary beauty in a living woman."
On January 31, 1889, Yeats met his lifelong lover, Maude Gunn, who was 22 years old at the time, and Yeats was deeply attracted to her. Maude Gunn rejected Yeats's marriage proposal several times, saying, "I rejected you and gave you back to the world, and the world will thank me for not marrying you." ”
We see him as a great artist with infinite scenery, but Yeats said: There are too many tears in this world, you will not understand. He endured the heartbreak and watched his sweetheart marry and have children for life.
Yeats and Maude Gang in his later years
The pain of love entangled the poet's life, but also completed Yeats's creative career, and the beautiful yearning and lost tears became the moving words in Yeats's poetry.
How about losing you and winning the applause of the world...
The Joy of Life Paul Delvaux 1937
Although dog blood, but the artist is also the closest to love, they love the paranoia, but also love the obsession.
Between lust and emotion, between art and life, and even more between self and others, the love of artists is often fragile. However, under the desolation of every love, they can create the peak of art, and the love of the artist may not be judged by the non-parties, but can only be viewed.
Because "being sincere in love is far more difficult than being honest in politics." —Ivan Klima
