Chapter 37 A Circle of Educated Youth Who Write Old Style Poems

During the "Cultural Revolution", influenced and enlightened by Mao Zedong's poems, many young people learned to write old poems with Wang Li's "Rhythms of Poems" as a textbook. end.Although the poems of young people are sometimes not up to standard, they can often incorporate modern vocabulary and have a fresh and natural atmosphere. Since it is difficult to collect extensively, it is impossible to judge the overall achievements of this part of poetry creation during the ten years of the "Cultural Revolution".Here are two circles of young people who wrote old-style poems, so as to see the whole picture at a glance, reflecting the popularity and partial situation of writing old-style poems among young people at that time.

Shen Weiguo, Xu Xiaohuan, Xing Xiaonan, Yang Jianguo, Guo Chiying and others are the children of cadres in a military compound in Beijing. During the "Cultural Revolution", they formed a circle of writing old-style poems. Before the "Cultural Revolution", "Ke Qingshi's suicide note" was circulated among the children in the government compound: "You must have great ambitions, the proletarians have great ambitions." and Song Xinlu's letter: "What kind of people should the children of revolutionary cadres become? ?” The 1964 and 1965 novels "Army Daughter", "Frontier Xiaoge" and the movie "Army Reclamation War Song" also had a lot of influence on the children of cadres in the compound. Some older children applied for Jiangxi Communist University. Some went to the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps without graduating from high school.

At the beginning of the "Cultural Revolution", all the older children in the institution's courtyard joined the debate on the "Ghost Seeing Sorrow" couplet. In the summer of 1966, in the Zhongshan Park Concert Hall, there was a debate from the evening until the early morning of the next day.After the movement began, Shen Weiguo, Yang Jianguo and others also participated in mimeographing "An Open Letter to Parents" (written by Zhong Zhigan's children). This letter showed the enthusiasm of the Red Guards in the early days of the movement: "Mom and Dad, the sons and daughters have all risen up to revolutionize and 'rebelled'. Everyone calls you old revolutionaries, but we want to tell you one thing: In the old revolutionaries, there are also some people who are messing with the revolution. Where do you want to go? How long does it take to end the day? Endless worries, countless frames, entangled in your mind... Think about it carefully, how many of your close comrades-in-arms fell on the snow-capped mountains and in the grass... If you forget the working people, forget After the revolution, you may become a revisionist. We will rebel against you! Who said that a son cannot rebel against Lao Tzu! If you "repair", we will rebel against you... Dear parents, respect and love Old revolutionaries, you must keep your revolutionary youth forever..."

By the end of 1966, some old cadres were attacked by the movement, and the old Red Guards stood on the opposite side of the movement.Two cadres' children in the government compound were taken into the Ministry of Public Security as "linkage" elements. After the "linkage" elements were released, the children of cadres in the government compound collectively "free and easy". At that time, the so-called "Xiaoyao" was nothing more than traveling together in Xiangshan, swimming in canals, playing cards together, and a very small number of people "slapped women" and punched with sandbags.At that time, Guo Chiying, Xing Xiaonan and Yang Jianguo often got together to talk about literature.Guo Chiying's father was a writer, and his family had a rich collection of books. There was a study room on the second floor with a window on one side and bookcases on three sides.Guo, Xing, and Yang once stayed at home, lying on the floor in this study, and read books for two consecutive weeks day and night.During this period, day and night were turned upside down. Except for buying food once, I read and talked in the house all day long.The three each named one book as their favorite, Xing Xiaonan cited Gogol's, Guo Chiying cited "Robinson Crusoe", and Yang Jianguo cited "The Sorrows of Young Werther".

With the development of the movement, in 1968 Lin Biao called for "smashing the Palace of the King of the Underworld", and the General Administration was put under military control.Many children are not only beaten by their parents, but even their children are punished and beaten together.Xing Xiaonan's father was also a writer in the army. Because he wrote a novel praising He Long, he was criticized and ransacked his home.His eldest brother fought with other children, which was also regarded as class revenge, and he was ordered to stand on a stool and fight.Xing Xiaonan was depressed for a while.

During the "military management" period, the families of Guo Chiying and Xu Xiaohuan were also affected, and their family fortunes fell.Xu Xiaohuan and Yang Jianguo were classmates in elementary and middle schools, so they often got together to discuss the "Cultural Revolution" and literature, thus forming a small circle.In the circle, Shen Weiguo is the elder. He is a second-year student in the fifth middle school. He is reticent and smiles like an old farmer. His prestige is the highest in the circle.At that time, Yang Jianguo began to learn to write old-style poems.There is a toddler poem of "clouds in June, thunder in August, sweeping away filth, destroying evil flames, and three years of meritorious deeds".

In December 1968, there was a rumor in Beijing that "gossip" was that the latest instruction would be issued on December 26, Chairman Mao's birthday, calling on the educated youth to go to the mountains and the countryside. (It was actually published on December 22 of that year.) People at that time were afraid that once Chairman Mao's instructions were published, they would not listen to Chairman Mao's words if they did not go to the countryside. Therefore, the children of cadres who had the means hurriedly found ways to serve as soldiers.Be sure to enlist before December 26th.

In the winter of 1968, a large number of educated youths in Beijing went to the countryside, and in the autumn of 1969, the educated youths in Beijing basically disappeared.Shen Weiguo went to rural Shanxi in 1968, Yang Jianguo and Xu Xiaohuan went to the Great Northern Wilderness in 1969, Xing Xiaonan went to serve as a soldier in the winter of 1969, Guo Chiying failed to serve as a soldier and went to school temporarily.At that time, "military management" and "military training" were implemented in middle schools, and the atmosphere was oppressive.Children who can educate well are even more discriminated against. In the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the National Day in 1969, the school of No. 72 Middle School refused to allow Shen Yuan, Guo Chiying, Wang Yan, Li Ruiming, Liu Xianxian and others to participate on the grounds of "birth problems".In addition to being angry, it is actually gratifying-it is possible to use this to avoid the cold campus.

On the ground in Beijing, after being swept away by the destruction of the "Four Olds", there are still many intimate and moving things.Snacks can still be eaten in a variety of ways, and they are delicious and cheap.Soak in the bathhouse for a while, and you can also receive the effect of "reborn".There are still a lot of clean things to be found in Beihai; it is even more wonderful to invite a few close friends to the Forbidden City to read those "Ode to Longevity without Boundaries". Regarding going out to play, there was a debate among everyone. Li Ruiming is a "Shanshui School" who advocates experiencing wild fun in nature; Shen Yuan is a "Pavilion School" who advocates visiting places of interest.Usually after school, everyone would go to someone's house, play cards and chat behind closed doors.At that time, old-style poetry was in vogue, and a copy of Wang Li's "Rhythms of Poetry" was passed around in everyone's hands.So, when I had free time, I would make crooked poems together, which were all limericks and jingles.

At that time, Beihai Fangshan Restaurant opened at the south gate of Beihai Park, next to the box office.Guo Chiying and others went to Fangshan to drink beer in a team.At that time, there was a doggerel as evidence: "Chili, tea, pepper wine, grabbing peanuts and fighting for Buddha's hand." The previous sentence said that someone left the table, and another secretly put chili into his tea.Pepper wine is not what the ancients called pepper wine, but pepper is put into other people's beer.The "struggling bergamot" mentioned in the last sentence was a very cheap snack at that time, and it was made by frying meat in dough.In this way, you can make four or five rounds of sentence pairs at the dinner table.Because of the plot, I can still remember it so far.

Almost all the families of these students in No. 72 had "historical problems", some were problems in the Communist Party, and some were so-called historical problems.Wang Changhua's father graduated from Fudan University in 1948, and was unemployed after graduation.His uncle was a Kuomintang general in the Second Office of the Ministry of National Defense. He found a position for the prince in the Kuomintang army and made him a colonel.At that time, the Kuomintang had already begun to arrange a retreat in the mainland. Wang's father was in love with his mother, and his mother didn't want to go to Taiwan, so his father stayed behind.After liberation, although his father was a "colonel empty", he was still regarded as a reactionary officer and had no job or income for 20 years.At that time, Wang Changhua was depressed because of the impact on his family, and he couldn't help being confused.Shen Yuan joked that he was "the reincarnation of Nuwa".In a pairing sentence, Wang Changhua said: "Five-colored auspicious clouds entrust Nuwa." Guo Chiying replied: "Heavenly heroism permeates Changhua." Wang Changhua's face turned blue with anger.At that time, everyone tried to persuade him to apologize, because he was very depressed at that time.Guo Chiying comforted him and said, "No matter which party our father belongs to, there are problems anyway, and they are all the same!" In 1971, everyone in the 70th class was facing going to the countryside to jump in the queue.Shen Yuan and others were assigned to join the queue at Jiayukou, Fangshan, Beijing.Guo Chiying first went to Ningxia for a year, and then returned to Niulanshan to join the team.It was not easy for Wang Yan to be a railway soldier in Fangshantuo, and he worked in the field all day long.Wang Yan was the first in this circle to start writing poetry seriously. In 1970, he wrote several poems in a serious way, and everyone in the circle was touched after reading them. Qilu (Wang Yan) The man aspires to the country as his family, and he is ashamed to play the key to Meng Chang. Difficult to shoot with Qi Yi Yi Yi, but come and discuss Gonggong. Wrestle back to chaos and cherish Pangu, forging Wu hook to learn from Nuwa. First lay the colored stones and pave the blue sky, and then cut the bones to correct the Chinese. Influenced by Wang Yan, Li Yuming and Guo Chiying also began to formally write poems. Among the educated youth assigned to Niulanshan Commune in Shunyi, there are an average of 7-8 members in a production team.Corn, sorghum, wheat, and barley are grown locally, and some production teams also grow rice once a year.Shimoda worked together with the commune members. Even though they were tired, the educated youth could still "fat" to work.Male educated youths can only earn 7-8 work points, while female educated youths only earn 4-5 points.But the work is no less than that of fellow villagers.At that time, the production team stipulated that only those who worked more than 300 days a year could be counted as 10 points.Educated youths often go home during holidays, and they often don’t make enough 300 days. This regulation is specially formulated for educated youths, and educated youths feel wronged.Guo Chiying can earn up to 8.5 work points (RMB 6-7), which can be divided into 10-20 RMB for a year of work. She feels very satisfied. Educated youths eat poorly. There is a popular proverb among the local educated youths, "big eyes and small nests, porridge with little pickles." After working in the countryside for three or four years, everyone's heart is "at ease", and they also raised two pigs like the fellow villagers to feed the rest. swill. Although Niulanshan is not far from Beijing, the educated youths still feel depressed.The work is the most tiring during the busy farming season. People are like donkeys tied to a mill, homesick and unable to go home.It is said that they don't care about the few cents of work points, but at that time, no one's family was rich.The educated youths are generally disheartened. Guo Chiying and the others couldn't stop playing, and they often went to the market in groups, and in their spare time, they ordered skewers among the educated youths in various villages.Sometimes I carry an old army bag, go to the Eight Outer Temples of Chengde, ride the train, and live in a big car shop (60 cents per night).Food was very cheap at that time. Chestnuts cost 2 cents a catty, walnuts cost 4 cents a catty. I bought a satchel and ate them while walking. When they have nothing to do, the educated youths "save poems" for fun, and made a lot of jokes. Once, Guo Chiying went to Jia Yukou to play together with several classmates who jumped in line from No. 72 Middle School.Everyone climbed to the top of the mountain and began to write poems while taking a nap.Let one person say the first sentence first, and then compose a poem according to this rhyme.This time, the first one to talk about is Chen Xiaoyu, whose father is a human artist who plays the role of a congressman in China.When Chen Xin learned to compose poems, he only uttered the first line, and everyone wanted to laugh.The first sentence he said was: "Looking at Beijing from a high mountain", and when everyone else finished the first sentence, it was his turn again, and the second sentence he said was: "A red sun is rising in my heart." At this time, There was already laughter. At that time, everyone said it was thanks to him that he could figure it out.In the third sentence, Chen Xiaoyu said "I love Beijing Tiananmen". After everyone finished the poem, they all guessed what his fourth sentence was.The educated youth roared with laughter. In Guo Chiying's circle of people, the poems that have been collected are all circulated in the circle.Most of them are in the old style, and there are still a lot of "refueling".Guo Chiying said: "The breeze under the sleeves is invisible to people, and the ghost in front of the bottle is speechless." Shen Yuanyuan: "Liuguang remembers the wrong middle and straight." In 1975, Guo Chiying wrote a song "Manjianghong", which was recognized by friends in the circle.After showing it to his father, his father said: "Ten years of things, and I am still in my heart." This sentence can be changed, but this sentence has not been changed in the end. Manjianghong Break the flat river, the mountain rises suddenly, and the dragon jumps over the sea. Yan Tiankuo, autumn clouds floating slowly, lonely chicken wings. Don't sigh when the Taurus goes to the bullpen, but the Changhuai Yeling Frost Chrysanthemum is here. Yi Jiayin crossed the Chaohe River in Xilu, boasting of being heroic. Hold the handle of the hoe and grind the Lingtai. Ten years, brooding. Seeing the sudden change of the situation, bravely fight for the rise and fall. Bitter rain torrential dead wood, thunder resounded through Xintiankai. Waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival in August to look at the Qianjiang River, and the raging tide will come. In 1973, Wang Yan was demobilized from the army and assigned to work as a worker in the municipal water supply company, which was quite enviable at the time.Guo Chiying and others sometimes return to Beijing for gatherings.Novels and essays became popular in the circle for a while.The "Memories of Shazao" (prose) brought back by Guo Chiying from Ningxia was copied by many people.Wang Yan wrote a novel about class revenge during the land reform period.There was a rural militia cadre who married the landlord's daughter and sister during the land reform.The elder sister is very ruthless, but has a strong heart, and the younger sister is kind, but narrow-minded and can't think about it.Later the little one was killed.Boss Yi cruelly killed and poisoned the two sons born to the sisters.This matter is said to have happened. Wang Yan also wrote a fairy tale poem at that time.Roughly speaking, a boy went blind, and God told a girl to wash her eyes with dew from a certain kind of grass, and she would be able to see again.The little girl went to look for this kind of fairy grass, and there were many strange encounters along the way.Everyone thought it was good when they read it.Later, Guo Chiying also wrote the novel "We Are the Unlucky Ones", in which the secretary of the brigade participated in the meeting of learning from Dazhai and returned to the brigade to convey it.Members Shi Zengfu and Zengfu's wife were ordered to destroy their Lingering Garden and cut down trees.Write about what happened overnight, the secretary mobilized to cut down trees overnight, and the farmers sighed. In such a small circle and microclimate, the educated youths in No. 72 middle school spent lonely days one after another, dispelling the sense of loss and sorrow in life.Wang Yan wrote a long poem at that time, which reflected the common emotion in the circle: Autumn wind bamboo stick old rayon towel, A strong man lives in immortality. So for a long time human love is like iron, Spend things like haircuts like silver. ... Two hundred imperial courts go with the water, Mo Yun on the Five Thousand Ren Mountains. ... Don't let the streamer push all things, Zhonghuai does not drink from glycol. After Shen Weiguo went to Shanxi to join the team, he sent a letter to Yang Jianguo and others from the production team in 1969.Tell Shanxi that the countryside is very bitter. There is no soy sauce here, and each person only has half a catty of oil a year.He also said that the newspapers said every day that the "three-self-one-package" is better than the past-before liberation, but the villagers said that when the "three-self-one package" was used, it was generally enough to eat, and every family had surplus food. Now, almost every family The family needs to borrow food.He told everyone in Yang Jianguo to be mentally prepared before entering the society. Half a year later, Yang Jianguo and Xu Xiaohuan took the same train to Baoquanling in the Great Northern Wilderness.Yang Jianguo blasted rocks and built houses in the company, and was later transferred to the shepherd squad.Xu Xiaohuan became a farm worker, and was transferred to the company headquarters as a correspondent.Every New Year's Day and Spring Festival, the two can get together in the field department, buy a few cans of fruit and canned meat, and sit on the tower head of Caodianzi for a big meal. Yang Jianguo didn't feel much frustration in his first year on the farm. He once wrote poems such as "Mourning Jin Xunhua": "Nineteen men went to the flood peak, and dared to throw their blood into the sky".Xu Xiaohuan has poems such as "Five Laws": "Old friends are insignificant and yellow cranes, new knowledge hangs in dreams". Entering 1970, Yang and Xu felt the grim situation in Baoquanling. On August 15th of the lunar calendar in 1970, in the 29th Company of the 15th Regiment of the Northeast Corps, the farm workers had already returned home from work, and the instructor ordered to "Little Leap Forward" tonight.So, after dinner, the educated youths of Quanlian went down to the area to cut beans.After a day of field work, the "leap forward" at this moment is actually a physical punishment.When the full moon rose on the fifteenth day, first the male and female educated youths from Shanghai sobbed softly, and then all the female educated youths from Beijing and Harbin sobbed. The eyes of the male educated youths were filled with tears, and all the educated youths cried together.The educated youths in Shanghai, regardless of male or female, hugged together... But the crying is the end of the crying, the leap forward target must be completed!After crying enough, the educated youth picked up the sickle and cut while crying under the moonlight... At this time, Yang Jianguo's tears and sweat flowed into his mouth together, and he felt that his "battle song" could no longer be sung, as if a bone was stuck in his throat.After this, his determination to support his side was shaken... In 1971, Yang Jianguo left the Great Northern Wilderness with guilt and attachment, and joined the army "through the back door".In the next two months, Xu Xiaohuan also took the opportunity to sneak out of the company, trek across Caodianzi, catch the train back to Beijing, and catch the last train for enlistment. The outbreak of the September 13th Incident in 1971 shocked the whole country and caused great joy in small circles, especially those whose families were affected by the movement.Guo Chiying, who works in the countryside, wrote to Yang Jianguo: "A few friends here have a drink to celebrate, and I feel a sense of relief." At this time, Yang Jianguo had frequent correspondence with Xu Xiaohuan, Xing Xiaonan, Shen Weiguo and others.Among them, Xu Xiaohuan is known as a "book hand". He can write thousands of words with his brush strokes, and he is best at writing long letters in the circle. (During the "Cultural Revolution", people often used letters to exchange information. At that time, there was a custom of smearing glue on stamps to wash away stamps and reuse them.) At this time, Xu Xiaohuan was working as a fitter at the Air Force Fifth Army Airport Machinery Factory, and Xing Xiaonan was in the Lanzhou Military Region. He served as a soldier in the Production and Construction Corps, and Shen Weiguo served as a soldier in the Cannon Company (specifically calculate the shooting parameters).Around the downfall of Lin Biao, various people had discussions between letters.Shen Weiguo had finished reading "Das Kapital" in the army, and pointed out that Marx had not yet been able to solve the problem of how to exchange equivalent values ​​between physical labor and mental labor. This problem is of great practical significance, and he secretly wrote "On Mao Zedong Thought". ", this text reaches 40,000 words. In the correspondence, everyone also exchanged poems and sang to each other. The first is Yang Jianguo, who recalled that when he returned to Beijing from the Corps in 1971 to enlist in the army, he visited the Summer Palace with Xu Xiaohuan and Guo Chiying, talked about Lin Biao and Zhang Chunqiao, and wrote long-term notes to Xu Xiaohuan.In the words, there are sentences such as "the fish contains the sword, the swallow picture wraps the neck" and "the clay figurine and the paper horse, the sword and the fire are lightly waved, and the gods test the heroes in a small way".The ending ends with "When will we gather, the red sun will come, and the bright moon will return to the boat?"Xu Xiaohuan recited the poem and sang in harmony. There is a sentence "the west wind leans the horse, and the mantis arms lightly wave", which ends with "it gathers together every day, green plums boil wine, and red peat stove".In Xing Xiaonan's poem, there is a sentence "red maple and yellow tung tree, happy to get the shell leaves", which ends with "if the end of the day, refine the deformed stone, and make up for the southeast". Later, there were discussions and poems surrounding the September 13th Incident and the Lushan Conference.Xu Xiaohuan talked about "Jiangdong's Eight Thousand Children" and "Joint Action Committee" Zeng Xin's writing: Young and strong, forged an unyielding soul early on. Dare to despise Qingyun Huagai, miscellaneous language shocking. Leisure politics, ordinary fame, no wonder the study is not serious. The rebellion was justified, and troops rose from the Kanto, sweeping millions of Qin troops. Chi Zha Wu yo, straightforward and cute, often trapped by rumors of political liars like Liu. Not afraid of dying, he cooperated with the children of Jiangdong, raised his halberd and rode his horse, and went to the Han camp. "Fight with the lord", follow the will of tomorrow. In the face of ups and downs, more heroes will go to Kyushu, There are one hundred thousand flags, but there are more than eight thousand heroes. I would like to follow the commander closely and ride Wuzhou to Dongshan. (Note, the phonology and rhyme of the second half of the word que are inconsistent, which is suspected to be wrong) Guo Chiying also wrote an allegory of the political environment at that time. water melody head The strong man boasted of generosity, and the weak woman sent a chariot. The remaining stars outside the tent reflect blood, and the wind blows the king's banner. Looking back on the heroic youth, he was ashamed of the friendship of eight thousand people, and there were thousands of enemies in the air. There are three Chu reputations in the sun, and the late river is tired of fighting clouds. When he loses hegemony, he abandons Gai and goes down, and the hero weeps. The wine brewed in the high mound of King Xiang, and the base of the emperor's city. I am laughing and happy in Yufang, but I regret that the Pengji suddenly broke down, and the soldiers and horses are cautious for a moment. Learning from the past is short-lived, and innovation has no future. In 1972, Guo Chiying spent a year in Ningxia and traveled around the Great Wall. He had a lot of experience and accumulated a batch of poems.Such as "Frontier Expressing Wishes", "Praise of Kunpeng" and other ancient style long rhythms and a set of seven rhythms.These poems were also copied in circles.Among them, "the snow is all over the sky, the green mountains are flashing, the wind is galloping, the iron horse is twilight, and the clouds are shining", which is highly appreciated by Yang Jianguo and Xing Xiaonan.Here are two of them: Seven Laws Fighting outside the Great Wall shines on the shadow of the moon, and the spring breeze sings in the old place. Find the vast sea of ​​flat sand, look at the towering vegetation and soldiers. The snow is all over the sky, and the green mountains are flashing, and the wind and iron horses are shining at dusk. The majesty of the mountains and rivers should be prosperous, and I would like to offer a little red in my chest. Qing Ping Le Hu Qiu outside the Great Wall is not warm, and the yellow wind whirls along the ancient road. Silt and sand are poured into the Central Plains for thousands of miles, and the nine-turn merit song is a sin confession. Five thousand winds and clouds in Huaxia, several plowshares and long poles. Chaoyang is still by the big wall, and the bald pen continues to produce long scrolls. During the "Cultural Revolution", the atmosphere of freedom in the army was thinner than that in the localities.Yang Jianguo served as a soldier in the Surveying and Mapping Brigade of the Nanjing Military Region. He was very lonely in the company and wanted to get out of the company environment as soon as possible. In 1972, workers, peasants, and soldiers began to recruit college students. Yang once mentioned this to Xu Xiaohuan in a letter. Xu sent a poem to comfort him: "Modern Mood for Love is different every year, and it makes people envious to go to college again. Don't tell me that cooking is boring, and Gao Gong also used to wash the dishes. "At that time, Yang Jianguo was working as a cook. In the poem, Gao Gong refers to Gorky, who once rinsed the dishes on the ship. In early 1975, Xu Xiaohuan sent a poem to Yang Jianguo, stating that he had now been transformed into a standard soldier. "Hanging the sword with the sword in the shoulder is thick with gunpowder, and every step does not lose the code of command. I can vaguely hear someone praise me, a graduate of the third phase of Whampoa." Yang Jianguo sent back a doggerel sarcastically: "The new year is full of soldiers, and the old illness must be discerned. Five Nian Rong Maxiu prides himself on himself, but he still has three points like a scholar." In this circle, Xing Xiaonan has the closest relationship with Yang Jianguo.At that time, Xing Xiaonan was in Huangyang Town, Gansu Province. The environment was isolated and he lacked friends to talk to. Letters with friends became the only consolation. On May 21, 1974, Xing Xiaonan sent a poem to Yang Jianguo: dream friend That person speaks in the middle of the night on the window lattice, with a few local accents and a few strands of love. Turning up the clothes and candle lamps to find old friends, a breeze blows through the vestibule. Xing Xiaonan is honest and an idealist.He is talented and intelligent. Before the "Cultural Revolution", in order to train future red diplomats, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had selected a group of primary school students from the boarding primary schools for the children of cadres in Beijing. . In the winter of 1969, Xing Xiaonan joined the Lanzhou Production and Construction Corps as a soldier.At that time, he was full of longing for life in the Corps. Even though he worked hard all year round on the farm, he did not feel discouraged or discouraged.He once wrote a short poem, which was published in the "People's Army Reclamation" newspaper of the Corps.This poem reflects his happy mood when he finally ushered in the harvest after hard work. Gobi Ocean There is a vast "ocean" in front of you, Shining golden in the sun Row after row of waves blowing with the wind, Disappearing in the endless distance... A few red boats— No sails, no oars, sailing slowly across the sea, There was a bang of a motor. Three years ago, this place was still vast Gobi, Where did this vast ocean come from? Could it be that the sun is shining brightly, Or a mirage? Ah, this is not an ocean of water, This is the wheat wave that is familiar to thousands of hectares. Soldiers of military reclamation - the "fishermen" of the Gobi Desert. "Driving" a steel "fishing boat", Ride the waves on undulating golden waves! A few years after joining the army, Xing Xiaonan was transferred to the Corps to do service and propaganda work.Under the extreme left environment, he endured loneliness and mental depression for a long time.There is no one to say what is in my heart, and I dare not say it.On the one hand, he took advantage of his conditions to read a large number of books by Pushkin, Jack London, Heine, Ruan Ji, and Zhuangzi; on the other hand, he read a large number of Marxist-Leninist monographs. Around 1974, he took the initiative to ask for the farm.On the army farm, he spared no effort to open up wasteland and build houses.Later, I participated in film screenings and climbed mountains and ridges in the Qilian Mountains, working hard for many years.During the screening, the local fellow defecated everywhere, and his hands were full of feces and urine when he took up the cable, but he didn't care.In the case of long-term inner conflicts, he still wrote high-pitched and uplifting long poems like "A Journey to the Snow Mountain". Snowy Mountain Journey (1974) Jincheng looks to the west of the river, millions of mountains are in line with the sky. In the vastness of five thousand miles, the sword pavilion bows its head and the white clouds are low. The towering peak obscures the stars, and Xihe walks on the mountainside with his chariot; The eagle raises its wings out of nothing, and does not know spring and autumn behind the mountains. Chaotic peaks pass through the air, and the blue sky is suspected to be dyed by glaciers. The wind blows and the rocks fall from the sky, like a meteor falling into the abyss. There is also snow for thousands of miles in three winters, and the coldness of Kyushu for thousands of miles. The goose feathers do not have Pantuo Road at night, and people are recruited to add cotton to their skins. The moonlight is dim and the wind is blowing the hail, the setting sun is dim and the fog is swallowing the mountains. Snow breaks dangerous rocks to frighten ferocious beasts, clouds grow deep valleys and walk glaciers. I don't know if it is the sky pillar hanging upside down, or the extreme of the world? You don't know that Hu Qi was flying in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and Emperor Wu set up four passes because of this. It is difficult for a spider silk bird to drive a car, and the soldiers recruited from the west have failed to return. The Lun scarf raised its head and sighed, and the Zifu looked at it from a distance and felt cold all over its body. Since ancient times, the army and the strong cannot cross, who will be named Yanran through the ages? Where is the old man now? Only the old Guanshan remains. Two thousand years at the flick of a finger, the remaining mountains and the moon have a new look. The strong men of the past have returned today, and a few dark clouds darken the northern sky. The golden wrong sword sings at night, patrolling icebergs under the moon. The cloak is dyed with hoarfrost, and the spear picks up the cold just before dawn. The waves are in the tent, and riding in the snow is like riding in a boat. There is a lot of ice and snow, and the bonfire can be hot. In the evening, the clouds are used as quilts, and in the morning, the frost is used for meals. Hold your head up and laugh in the wind, strolling over the peak. Looking directly at the glaciers like rivers and rivers, you can compare thousands of feet to hills and mountains. Facing the wind with a blade, stepping on the snow without bounds. It is easy to die generously, but difficult to transform calmly. All around the fire are united, and the songs and poems are magnificent. Take the eternal light of snow directly, and reflect the ugliness and beauty in the chest and heart. Ice Ou Frost paper snow lotus, and live in the world for five hundred years. The chest is wide and the universe is short, and the spirit is short. Dragon City Flying General is still around today, and his beard may not be inferior to the old beard. One day, the fast snow flag is picturesque, and the army shouts long live to cross Qilian.

I would like to sprinkle the blood of youth, melt the snow-capped mountains and fill the fields with horses. In the spring of 1976, at this time, Zhou Enlai had passed away, and the ugly behavior of Jiang Qing and his gang at the memorial service was fully revealed through TV.There was also gossip about the book "The Queen of the Red Capital", and the political situation in the country became increasingly clear.In the Nanjing army, Yang Jianguo discussed the situation with the educated youth in the camp.It was rumored that Xu Shiyou, the commander of the Guangzhou Military Region (formerly the commander of the Nanjing Military Region), opposed the Jiang Qing Group and privately discussed that if Jiang Qing and his gang came to power, they would join Xu Shiyou.Before being demobilized, Yang Jianguo wrote poems and sent them to his comrades-in-arms in the camp Zhang Longming (Shanghai educated youth) and Li Huamin (Nanjing educated youth).

The death of Mao Zedong on September 9, 1976 shocked the whole world.Shortly thereafter, Guo Chiying wrote the poem Qinyuanchun.At that time, many people used to see Marx as a metaphor for death, so they used Mao Zedong's meeting with Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin after his death to discuss the world's aspirations.Among them, "red wine and cabbage" refers to Mao Zedong's visit to the Soviet Union. Stalin entertained Mao Zedong and praised Chinese cabbage at the banquet.Mao Zedong transferred a wagon of Chinese cabbage to Stalin.

During the "Cultural Revolution", this circle of writing old-style poetry (including educated youth sent to the countryside and educated youth in the army) failed to form a formal poetry club.The main reason is that they regard writing old-style poetry only as a tool for exchanging thoughts and feelings, communicating information and self-entertainment, and fail to pursue the creation of old-style poetry as an "art".Most of the poems written do not have manuscripts, and more than half are lost.Such a straightforward attitude has affected the revision and improvement of poems.It should be said that this is an important reason why the level of poetry in these two circles cannot be raised to a higher level. The development of old-style poetry during the "Cultural Revolution" may have a lot to do with the failure of the majority of young old-style poetry lovers to seriously pursue this hobby as a literary career.
