At the age of 17, it is a teenager like a flower, the good youth time is about to spread in front of the eyes of young boys and girls, and for him, life is about to die, and his life is fixed at the age of 17. This man was killed for his rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and the Restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and died in the great righteousness, vigorously, forever recorded in the annals of history. To this day, it is still selected as a junior high school Chinese textbook. He is the poet and national hero of the late Ming Dynasty who is known as "reading the history of the Bible at the age of five, and being able to write poetry at the age of seven"—Xia Wanchun.
He was born in Xiangmendi, he was familiar with reading history books since childhood, Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang were his idols, with the blood of justice flowing in his bones and a mighty righteousness in his chest. His entire family died in many anti-Qing rebellions, which can be described as heroic. His father Xia Yunyi failed to resist the Qing Dynasty and was martyred by throwing himself into the water; his uncle Xia Zhixu Ce died of hanging himself in defeat; his father-in-law Qian Yanlin died because he protected Xia Wanchun's teacher Chen Zilong, the mother-in-law Xu Shi committed suicide by throwing himself into the water in martyrdom, as well as his sister-in-law Hou Wenzhong, his brother-in-law (eldest brother-in-law) Qian Xi, and Lu Kunting, who died extremely tragically; his teachers were Zhang Pu, who wrote the "Tombstone of the Five" by the leader of the Fu Society, Shi Kefa, who was heroic and righteous in Yangzhou, and Zodiac Zhou, who was generous in Nanjing, who also died in Dayi. These people had a great influence on Xia Wanchun, and they were loyal and advocating fame and honor, and they naturally penetrated into Xia Wanchun's concept.
At the age of flowers, but carrying too many things, doomed to the tragedy of this teenager. Fathers, uncles, mentors, friends, fathers-in-law, mothers-in-law, brothers and sisters... All the people are dead, and those who do not want to be the people who perish the country are not only dead, but also have no home. He always had to do something, even if he was alone, he had no choice. It seems inevitable that an army, a rebellion, a capture, and even generosity is righteous.
In the summer of the fourth year of Shunzhi (1647), Xia Wanchun expressed his gratitude for the position of Zhongshu Sheren by King Yao of Lu, and the letter was captured by the Qing court, the matter was exposed, and he was arrested and sent to Nanjing. During this period, he passed through the poet's hometown of Songjiang and wrote a poem "Farewell to the Clouds", which was generous and tragic, and has been selected as a junior high school language textbook.
Don't be in the clouds
Xia Wanchun
Three years of detention for travelers, today and the southern crown.
Infinite mountains and rivers tears, who says the heavens and the earth are wide?
It is known that the spring road is close, and it is difficult to leave the hometown.
On the day of the return of Yi Lu, the spirit flag was seen in the air.
The first league concisely summarized his three-year struggle career with his father and teacher from the beginning of the army to the qing to the imprisonment of the three years. The allusion to the "Southern Crown" shows that he is trapped in a cage, and the seemingly calm language is full of bitterness and endless pain behind it.
The jaw union starts with mountains and rivers, mountains and rivers change masters, things are not people, they are imprisoned, the ideal of restoration has become a bubble, and deep sadness penetrates the heart and intestines of the poet, so he issues a question of "who speaks that the world is wide". Lamenting his bad luck and fate.
The neck link changes from the worry of the country to the thought of home, expressing the poet's unrelenting love for his hometown and relatives. At this time, the poet was only 17 years old, but he already had a wife, and his wife Qin Zhen was still pregnant (after the poet died, he gave birth to a son, but unfortunately died), how could he not let the poet worry about it? At this time, not only the hatred of the country but also the hatred of the family came to his heart. Remembering that the family has suffered many misfortunes, and he cannot serve his mother-in-law and birth mother, let the newlywed wife stay alone in the empty house for two years, whether it is a son or a husband, or even a father, they all have endless attachment, and more is deep guilt.
Tail Lian swept away the children's love in front of him, but made a generous statement to show his heart. The poet holds the determination to swear to die unyieldingly and resolutely restore his vision, and the great cause that he failed to complete before his death must also personally see his successor lead the uprising and restore the Ming Dynasty. The poet's indomitable spirit and the feeling of loyalty to the country have erected a monument for people to put the interests of the country and the nation above all else, and they can sing and cry.
With the hands of a teenager and the sonorous words of the book, among the many heroes of the Chinese nation, he may be the youngest, how can he not make people awe-inspired? It will be remembered through the ages.
END.
