Chapter 118 Some birds didn't come to the world to hide from the guns

Since the end of last night's speech, Govin has been depressed with a sense of resentment and gloom in his heart, he has always thought that the development of hazy poetry is smooth sailing, he has always thought that since there are so many readers who love hazy poetry, the poets of hazy poetry are doing well. But when he saw Gu Cheng's embarrassment, and when he learned the real living environment of the hazy poets from Gu Cheng's mouth, Ge Wen couldn't help but have a sad feeling in his heart.

Govin wanted to do something, he wanted to do something for Gu Cheng, he wanted to do something for these hazy poets, he wanted to do something for the development of modern poetry in China.

As he himself said in his speech, poetry can see the vitality and future potential of an ancient nation!

Although Govin knew that after the 90s, with the tide of commercialization, poetry might decline and die, but in this era, in this era of passion full of ideals and innocence, hazy poetry should not be treated like this, and the poets of hazy poetry should not be treated like this!

Therefore, after he settled down at Ba Jin's home, he turned this depression in his heart into motivation and began to write this review article of "The Rising Poetry Group".

Although Govin is not a real poet, since he rose to prominence with "A Generation", he naturally does not discredit poetry.

On the one hand, this is because after the publication of "One Generation", Govin has no confidence in his heart, and he is worried that he will be seen by others as a poetry novice in the future, but on the other hand, Govin is really full of love and sincerity for poetry. Therefore, in my daily study, books and materials about poetry and poetry creation. Govyn studied frantically for a long time. Otherwise, in the process of translating "Walden", he would not have written a poem like "Wheat Field" that even Gu Cheng admired.

Coupled with the memories brought to Govin by later generations, Govin is well aware of the development of modern poetry and the development of hazy poetry. After combining the situation that Gu Cheng said last night, this review article called "The Rising Poetry Group", which integrates all his articles on poetry theory, is like a natural flow, slanting out of Govyn's pen.

The review of more than 40,000 words was completed overnight, and only two hours had passed.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Govin let out a long breath. At this moment, his mind is empty, he has no thoughts or thoughts, and this article can be said to have hollowed out all the knowledge about poetry in his head--the poetry memories he absorbed in his previous life, the poetry theories he learned after crossing over, and the concept of poetry creation that he summarized and thought......

The intense mental work made Govin not want to pick up the dozens of manuscripts on the table for a moment to check. He looked up at the desk on his diagonal side, and was shocked to find that there was no one in front of the desk, and that Ba Jin, who had been sitting there reading the newspaper, had disappeared.

This couldn't help but surprise Govyn, and he almost couldn't help but stand up. Know that Govin is Barkin's caretaker. Ba Jin was not in the house, which can be said to be a serious dereliction of duty.

Then Gowen, who was about to get up, felt someone tapping him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, Barkin was smiling behind him, looking at him with his head out.

Govin quickly got up from his chair, and then said with some shame: "Ba Lao, when did you stand behind me?" ”

This negligence on the part of Govin can be said to be his own dereliction of duty. Naturally, he was embarrassed to blame Ba Jin for standing behind him, which made him startled.

Ba Jin's face was full of smiles, and he didn't answer when he heard Govyn's words. He walked from Gowen's side to the edge of his desk, and picked up the comment that Gowen had just written. Apparently for Barkin, he had seen part of the review that Govin had written, standing behind him just now. For Barkin, Gowen's commentary is much more appealing than Gowen's.

Govin quickly gave up his chair, and then helped Barjin to sit down.

As for Ba Jin's reading of his manuscript, Govin didn't have any opinion, and he originally planned to let Ba Jin review it after the revisions were completed.

Ba Jin, who was sitting in a chair, picked up the manuscript on the table and never put it down, his attention was already on the freshly baked manuscript.

Previously, when Ba Jin was reading the newspaper, he noticed the appearance of Govin lying on the table and writing seriously, and he knew at that time that this kid must be creating some kind of work, maybe it was another decent cultural essay. But after waiting for Barkin to finish all the morning papers delivered by the postman this morning, and after sitting for a long time, Govin was still lying motionless on the table, which made Barkin feel some curiosity in his heart.

Normally, even when he was writing, Govin would always keep in mind his movements, and when he saw that he had finished reading the newspaper, he would urge himself to wander around the yard, rest, and continue to read was a very dangerous thing for Barkin.

I didn't expect Govine to be so attentive today that he even forgot the time!

Ba Jin shook his head at the thought of this, he couldn't bear to think about Govyn's train of thought. This kid is now in a state of mind, and if he interrupts, he is likely to let the continuous inspiration and thoughts go away.

So Barkin, who got up from his chair tremblingly, slowly walked around the room behind Gowen and stuck his head out to see what Gowen was writing.

Govern's whole body was lying on the table, his left arm curled up on the desk, his slender and white right hand holding the pen tightly, moving left and right on the manuscript paper, and the meridian emotions on the skin on the back of his hand were visible.

Ba Jin listened to the rustle of the tip of the pen moving on the manuscript paper, and watched the way Govin wrote, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart—it seems to be very emotional?

He lifted his glasses and looked at the manuscript paper, and then the passage that came into his eyes made Ba Jin stunned for a moment.

We should cherish this new creative trend, and how precious it is for a new generation of poets to be able to stubbornly break free from tradition with their own individuality in the long-term single artistic influence. In a country as big as ours, there should be numerous schools of poetry. Some people should be allowed to go beyond the ordinary level of society and explore far away (just like some cutting-edge technologies in the field of science and technology that are not widely available for a while, but must be tested). Any genre. All are allowed to exist, as long as they have a reason to exist and sufficient power.

……

Govin had just written half a page on the manuscript page of the book, but it was this small half page that made Barking know that the article that Govin had written was actually a poetic commentary. Looking at this text, Govin actually judged from the perspective of a thinker rather than a poet.

Many people may know the trajectory of Gowen's growth, after all, Gowen has a high reputation among readers, and the "New Zhou Evening News", which has no professional ethics more than a month ago, made his experience public. But if you really know and are familiar with every step of Gowen's growth. In addition to Lin Yiming, there is only Ba Jin. I think that "Generation" was originally decided to be published in "Harvest" magazine, so Ba Jin naturally knew the level of Gowen's poetry, and during these days. He had also read some of the poems written by Gowen.

It's just that why did Govin suddenly write a poetry review?

Barkin's mind was full of doubts, but the comments written by Govin were indeed good, although only a few paragraphs were seen. But that far-sighted vision and sharp language made Ba Jin very interested. So Ba Jin stood behind Govin and quietly followed Govyn's handwriting.

It wasn't until Govin found himself not at his desk after writing and seemed anxious to stand up that Bar Jin gently patted Govin on the shoulder to signal his presence.

When Barking walked over to look at Gowen's poetry review, it was nearing its end. After reading the last words after following Gowen's writing, he had already developed a strong interest, and he had long wanted to see what Gowen had written before, knowing that the conclusion at the end of Gowen's poetry review was quite domineering. He dared to characterize the development of modern poetry.

Finally, when Govin finished writing, Barkinna could still take care of Govine's words. He sat down in the chair that Govin had given up, picked up the manuscript on the table, and read it all over again.

After reading the conclusion of this review first, although Ba Jin has a strong curiosity in his heart, he is also a little amused by Govine's affirmation in his heart.

But when Ba Jin read the previous content of this review, he realized that it may not be Gowen who has a big tone, but himself, and he should not have looked at this talented boy in front of him with worldly eyes!

It's just that the views and language of this review are too bold and can easily be misunderstood.

On the surface, this review is full of the spirit of the ideological emancipation movement, which is in line with the humanitarianism and personal life values put forward by Gowen, and is also very consistent with the development direction of China at this time. However, if this passionate article is published, it will cause an earthquake in the poetry world after all, and even attract fierce criticism.

In the commentary, Govern's attitude is very distinct, and he shows an extreme sensitivity to the emergence of the new poetry trend, believing that the rise of modern poetry and the rise of hazy poetry are in line with the process of China's modernization.

"The transformation of Chinese society as a whole and the pace of hundreds of millions of people moving towards modernization have determined that China will inevitably produce a modernist literature that adapts to it." This way of thinking was not the first to be proposed by Gowen, and some critics have already proposed this concept.

In the article, Govin argues that the "self" pursued by the current hazy poetry is not the "private self-psychology" of the West, but the "self with modern characteristics" is an expansive self with strong social appeal, with a strong sense of history, nationality and universal humanity, "a complete betrayal of falsehood and ugliness and a persistent pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty", and such a self is the self in the Chinese-style humanitarian trend since the May Fourth Movement. This view is undoubtedly correct.

Govin does not deny the realist method of creation and the materialist reflection theory of hazy poetry, but at the same time he put forward his own view -- hazy poetry should go out of its own small circle, set its eyes on the times and the people, be the clarion call of the spirit of the times while expressing itself, praise the great achievements of the times outside the world of expressing one's own feelings, and dare to praise the experiences and heroic struggles of those characters we are accustomed to......

All of this is undoubtedly quite forward-looking and correct. Overall, this review is both highly advanced and instructive, and it is a very good piece of work.

It's just that the boldness and sharpness of Gowen's language in the commentary, and even the view of looking to the future and positioning hazy poetry are completely different from the conservative style of the current literary and artistic circles, and if it is made public, it will definitely cause an extremely strong backlash. To make it clear, this kid is not ashamed to speak, and if he says it seriously, he can go online directly...... These all made Ba Jin frown, it was still the old saying, the gun shot the first bird!

"Govyn, how did you come up with the idea of writing such a comment?" Barkin's head looked up at Govyn.

Ge Wen laughed for a moment, and then retold what he learned from Gu Cheng to Ba Jin's original text, and then he looked at Ba Jin and said seriously: "Ba Lao, this phenomenon is not normal, when a poet can't support himself with his own works, when that enthusiasm for poetry can't compete with the world's eating, drinking, and Lazar, how many poets do you think will be able to persevere?" Without poets who write poetry, what do you think the future of poetry would be? ”

Ba Jin nodded, "So you want to express your opinion like you did in the Yangcheng Evening News and People's Daily a month ago?" Do you want to justify the name of the hazy poem? ”

"That's right! The poet of hazy poetry should not be so poor, since hazy poetry can be liked by so many people, then its existence must be reasonable! Gewen nodded, then picked up the poems copied from Gu Cheng from the table and handed them to Ba Jin, saying, "Ba Lao, you see, if such poems can't be published publicly, then what kind of poems are eligible to be published?!" ”

Ba Jin put down the comment in his hand, then took the manuscript of the poem from Govin's hand, looked at it carefully, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "It is indeed very good poetry." ”

Ba Jin glanced at the somewhat proud Gowen, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "But if this comment of yours is published, I am afraid that it will attract many attacks, and if others don't say it, my good friend, the poet Comrade Ai Qing, is very opposed to hazy poetry......

"Truth never yields before authority!"

"Have you ever thought back to the storm of public opinion more than two months ago? The fear of not being understood? The kind of malicious attack? Would you like to go through it last time? Barkin then asked.

"Don't be afraid, that argument can't overwhelm me, I don't believe it will be defeated this time!"

"Alas...... The old man can't always stand up for you, and if there is a dispute this time, I will not stand up and speak. ”

What the?! Govin was startled, then looked at Barkin.

Ba Jin put the manuscript back on the table, and then said tiredly, "I am not a poet...... The point of view of your review is too advanced, and although I think what you said is very reasonable, I can't make an accurate judgment, especially since you have also made a prospect for the development of modern poetry...... I will not stand with you because of personal feelings, I will only stand on the side of truth! ”

Govin nodded and said, "Although thousands of people have gone to me, I trust my judgment!" ”

"It's not a good thing that you're too sharp."

Govin let out a long breath, and then looked at Barkin, his eyes shining brightly—

"Ba Lao, many birds come to the world to do what they have to do, not to hide from the guns!"
