Chapter 21 The "Duel" of Poetry

On June 19, 1972, on the way home after sending his friends to Beijing Railway Station, Duoduo suddenly got a sentence: "The window opened like an eye." From then on, he began to write, and at the end of 1972 he produced his first collection of poems.Before the collection of Duoduo's poems was completed, Xu Haoyuan heard the news and said to Duoduo: "I heard that you are 'saving poems', let me have a look." Because Duoduo has always been interested in theory and philosophy, everyone has a certain degree of appreciation for his poetry. curious.After Duoduo's poems were brought to the salon, Peng Gang's reaction was: Your poems are better than your poems - your speeches are too correct!Yue Zhong's reaction was ambiguous and unconvinced, Yiqun was roughly the same, but Duoduo's megalomaniac ambition obviously infected him.Yiqun hopes that Duoduo can write simple poems and genuine feelings.At the same time, Yiqun expressed concern about the fate of Chinese culture.Duoduo thinks this is the reason why Yiqun washed his hands and quit.

Duoduo is originally from Liaoning, and was born in Beijing in August 1951.Since writing poems in 1972, Duoduo has persisted in the exploration of modernism, and has created: "Memories and Thinking" (5 poems), "Honey Week", "Vientiane" (14 poems), "To the Sun", "Craftsmanship" (The above was written in 1972-1973); "Teaching--Decadent Memorial", "Cohabitation" (the above was written in 1976); and the long poem "Time of Feeling" started in 1973 and completed in 1980. nothingness, from kissed lips slipped out with a

Unaware of sobriety, on the street where I chased women madly Today, workers in white gloves Calmly spraying insecticide— 1973 The sun has gone over the wall like a boxer stay boy Facing the melancholy sunflower—— "Summer" 1975 In 1973, Munk and Duoduo began to establish a poetic friendship.Duoduo and Munk meet at the end of each year to exchange a book of poetry just like exchanging pistols in a duel.Perhaps in order to cope with the duel, I began to copy Munk's original verse from this year: "Suddenly, hope turns into tears and falls on the ground, / How can you expect that there will be no sorrow tomorrow." "O great land, you provoked my passion."

Munk (1950.11-) was originally from Shenyang. Started writing poetry in 1970.Representative works: "My Mind" (a collection of poems), "Dream of Tears" (a collection of poems), "Sunflowers in the Sun" (a collection of poems), the long poem "A Group of Apes", and the group poem "Time Without Time". During the "Cultural Revolution", his influential poems include: "To the Fisherman Brothers", "The Sky", "The Tundra", "Smoke from the White House", "The Moon on the Road", "The Sun Has Set", "Ten Moon's Poems", "To", "I Am the Wind" and so on.

Duoduo called Munk a poet of nature.When they were 16 years old, they came to Baiyangdian in the same carriage to jump in the queue.Baiyangdian has always had a strong folk culture. The thieves Li Shuangsi and others described by the writer Liang Bin were active here, as well as the "Yan Ling Squad" who beat devils.Baiyangdian is a place where tigers and dragons are hidden. Duoduo spent six years here, Yue Zhong three years, and Mangke seven years. They did not expect that this was a cradle of poetry. At that time, many poets came out of Baiyangdian. Song Haiquan, Lin Mang, Zhao Zhenkai, Jiang He, Gan Tiesheng and many other poets also went to Baiyangdian to travel, visit and "pilgrimage".

Munk is just this child of nature, playing, planting crops, fighting and wandering.The "I" in his poem never wears clothes, and his naked body exudes the smell of mud and lake water: i want to lift the waves run to land I want to call kindly into her warm embrace— "sea breeze" in front of the waves The mast of my arms raised— "Boat" crops: Autumn quietly came to my face I'm mature. land: all my emotions All sunbaked— "October Dedication" What he wants to express is not a conclusion but a pursuit.Duoduo believes that the most desirable thing about Munk is his "vitality".By the end of 1973, when Duoduo exchanged poetry collections with Munk, Munk had already achieved a lot. At this time, Duoduo's first collection of poems also won him the appreciation of many young poets.

Yue Zhong left a note for Duoduo: Don't memorize it, your poetry collection is asking for honor everywhere.In the summer of this year, Yue Zhong met with bad luck.The public copied his poems, and the poems were sent to the Public Security Bureau. Perhaps the police officers were frightened by this "monster" and sent Yue Zhong's poems to the Institute of Chinese Literature for appraisal. I don't know which poetry expert and After the review by the first-level organization, it is determined that "this poem is not harmful", and then it is over.At this point, Yue Zhong stopped writing.

1973 was the heyday of the salon. During this period, Duoduo and others also met Mou Dunbai of the older generation. He, Gan Huili and Zhang Langlang's generation belonged to those who had started artistic activities since the 1960s.Belonging to that generation are the painters Zhou Youyou, Dong Shabei, etc., and they also have contacts.They were born at the wrong time and caught up with the "Cultural Revolution" at the most creative age.
