Beyond the smoke - Love Call your name and your name in the sound of the waves Already outside of a thousand sails The tides come and go The shoe print on the left is only in the afternoon The shoe print on the right is dusk June was originally a very sentimental book The ending was so poignant - The sun sets in the west You still stare The man's eyes showed a pure white He knelt down to you toward the clouds of yesterday that had been beautiful all afternoon Hai Yo, why in the midst of the lights Alone light up that dazed light What else can you grab? Your eyes, once called clouds The existing person is called smoke
Love, formerly known as Mo Yunduan, Molov, Hengyang people, a famous modern poet in Taiwan, a world Chinese poetry hero, a nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature, is known as a "poetry demon" by the poetry community. 2012 was Mr. Love's ninth homecoming. Nine times, at first glance, seems to be a homesickness, but you know, when Love first returned to Hengyang in 1988, it was exactly 40 years before he left his hometown.
LOVE: I can say that I have been living and growing up in the war. The earliest was the War of Resistance, I was only 10 years old at that time, every day began to run the alarm, the Japanese army came to bomb, just look at those who were killed by the bombing, that is, my neighbors, friends, there are many deaths and injuries.
In Hengyang, I also participated in guerrilla groups for half a year, fought guerrillas, and I was only 15 years old at the time.
Love: In 1979, I was invited to visit Chinese University in Hong Kong, and when Mr. Yu Guangzhong was teaching in Hong Kong, he took me to Lok Ma Chau, which is where Hong Kong and Shenzhen meet. He has a telescope to see the whole continent, you think about it, I haven't returned to my hometown for almost 40 years, that is, after I left, I haven't gone back, and I don't know which day I can go back. From the telescope to see the rivers and mountains of the homeland, but I can't get over, that kind of mood is very painful, very sad.
Love has been writing, translating, teaching and compiling poems for more than 50 years, and his works are very rich, and his influence in the Chinese language circle is far-reaching. In 1954, he co-founded the famous poetry journal Genesis with Zhang Mo and Xia Xian, and the three of them were called the three carriages of the poetry society. Love said that compared to The Herb and Zhang Mo, he had more negative experiences in his life because he had been in the war for too long and too close to death. It can be said that the impact of the war on Love was enormous, and his most famous long poems were born in the cannons of the Golden Gate, and the only two years he did not write poetry were spent in the Vietnam War.
Love: During the Golden Gate Gun Battle, I was at the Officers' Foreign Language School at that time, and after graduation, I went to receive some journalists from foreign countries, because they were going to go to Kinmen to cover the interview, so I stayed there for a whole year. During the year, I gained two big things, the first of which was that I knew my wife, who was a Kinmen native and a primary school teacher in Kinmen at that time.
Another takeaway is that I have a long poem called Death in the Stone Chamber.
Love said that he had gone through two exiles in his life, one to Taiwan and one to Vancouver, and it was these two exiles that produced two of Love's most famous masterpieces, Death in the Stone Chamber and Drifting Wood. "A wife, two children, three suits, four thousand months, five books. Although life is too cold, it is still comfortable. May your scripture be better to read than mine. ”
LOVE: I said something in the past, and I said "change" is another name for genius. Constantly adjusting, allowing yourself to change. This is true of all Chinese and foreign poetry. Those who can flourish for a long time usually have relatively large thinking, metaphysical things, although that thing is not very popular, but it can maintain an eternal life, that is, different ages, there are different people to read it, so that its artistic life is always growing.
