Ten years after parting, the Great Revolution failed, the Dongjiang River was goodbye, the Anti-Japanese War was in full swing, and we saw each other again in Hangao.You have returned from the enemy country, and the enemy situation has contributed in detail;
I have returned from behind enemy lines, and the victory is endless, Kou has penetrated deep into my hinterland, and I must also support the war of resistance in North China and recover the Central Plains;
You go and support Nantian.
Goodbye, goodbye
Must be by the Yalu River.
* "Reunion".
Fig**Handwritten "Reunion").
When it comes to **, all we can think of are such labels as revolutionaries, military strategists, politicians, commanders-in-chief of the Chinese People's Army, and outstanding leaders of the People's Republic of China, but what is little known is that in addition, ** actually has the identity of a poet.
According to **'s wife Kang Keqing recalled: "He likes sports, but he also likes to read, he carefully sets a reading plan, and is familiar with political and economic books." He used to say:"If a revolutionary does not study hard, he will not be able to acquire the necessary knowledge to serve the people, and he will not be able to serve the people well”
Fig**Kang Keqing).
In the long-term revolutionary practice, ** may be a fierce general fighting in the battlefield in our impression, but in private** is a scholar who is very eager for knowledge and respects knowledge.
On one occasion, the Red Army completely annihilated two brigades and division headquarters of Zhang Huizan, captured Zhang Huizan himself, and captured a 15-watt radio station when cleaning up the battlefield. This was a good thing for the Red Army units in difficult conditions.
Unfortunately, because the soldiers lacked knowledge in this area, and did not know what it was or what it could do, they smashed the chargers, motors, and batteries of the radio station to pieces, and the only thing left to send to the headquarters was a receiver.
* Knowing that so many high-grade loot were destroyed in one fell swoop, I was angry and sorry in my heart, and sighed:"If you don't have knowledge, you can't do stupid things!”Later, this incident became a must-mention example for the first education staff.
Every time I talk about it, I can't help but encourage:"Knowledge is the key to open the window of the soul, and it is the sunshine that enlightens the flowers of wisdom!If a person wants to make a career, he must accumulate a wealth of knowledge, otherwise he will not achieve anything. Remember: knowledge and talent are always in direct proportion. ”
It is said that great leaders have great minds, and only with great minds can they worry about the country and the people, and only then can they write poems and lyrics to rejuvenate their style, ** is one of them.
Among the leaders of the 20th century, I believe that the most we have read must be the best poems, in contrast, Mr. Zhu's poems may not be known. Speaking of which, some people may be amazed that the commander looks like an old peasant and can write poetry
As the saying goes, people can't look good, although he was born in an ordinary peasant family, he was admitted to the Yunnan Army Martial Arts Hall as early as 1909.
Later, ** went to Germany to study, and learned every day without sleep and food, even the landlady appreciated:"This Chinese!It's just desperate. ”So in fact, the cultural level of ** is not low, and writing poetry is just a trivial matter.
FigGuo Moruo).
It is precisely because of this that ** has always respected those who are knowledgeable or have attainments in some aspects, and will always regard others as teachers and humbly call themselves students, Guo Moruo is one of them.
In 1926, at the height of the Northern Expedition, Guo Moruo served in the Political Department of the Northern Expeditionary Army. When Guo Moruo followed the Northern Expeditionary Army into Wuhan, **, who had just returned from Germany, also happened to come here, and the two met, and ** also left an impression of "the old village chief in the countryside" in Guo Moruo's heart.
In the second year, Guo Moruo broke away from Chiang Kai-shek, lived in Nanchang**'s apartment for four days and wrote an essay on Chiang Kai-shek "Please Look at Chiang Kai-shek Today". Four months later, the August 1 Nanchang Uprising broke out, and Guo Moruo was introduced to the party by *** and others.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, ** led the army to the front line, and Guo Moruo risked his life to engage in propaganda work to resist Japan and save the country. In October 1938, ** flew to Wuhan and reunited with Guo Moruo, who had been absent for many years.
After staying in Guo Moruo's apartment for one night, ** is also about to say goodbye. Before leaving, ** asked Guo Moruo to write him some words as a souvenir, Guo Moruo wrote a vernacular poem for him, but unfortunately the content has long been unknown.
Guo Moruo also invited ** to write some words to commemorate, ** wrote a vernacular poem "Reunion" and sent it to him, which was deeply cherished by Guo Moruo.
This is the only vernacular poem in all the ** works that can be read. The marshal once said that the poems of the commander-in-chief have the true character of the commander-in-chief, and the early years were old-fashioned, so most of his poems are in the old style.
However, in the face of this old friend and new poet, ** changed his old style, got rid of the constraints of the old rules, and with the vision and mind of a military commander, he became such a bold vernacular poem in one go, which can also be seen that ** has a different emotion for this friendship.
In August 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression finally came to an end. After solving the external troubles, he went to Chongqing to negotiate in person, and continued to do his best to establish a peaceful and democratic New China on behalf of the Communist Party of China.
In 1946, Chiang Kai-shek, who believed in his own strength, brazenly launched a war. This year happens to be the 60th birthday of the people, in order to boost the morale of the party and the people, a celebration was held for the party, and the inscription "the glory of the people" was personally inscribed.
Although Guo Moruo was far away in the national control area and could not fly to Yan'an, in order to support the party's struggle and send blessings to his old friends, he still wrote two chapters of a folk song (Shou**) with the passion of a poet, expressing his heartfelt admiration to him:
* General who does not know, sixty is not called old, ** has not been eradicated, Faxi has not yet been defeated, the people love you, and those who can do it must work hard. You obey the people, obey the doctrine, obey the chairman Mao. The Chinese love you, you will never get old!
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the leaders and some democrats gathered in Beijing, and they often talked with people who were quite accomplished in poetry, such as ** and Guo Moruo, and maintained their enthusiasm and love for poetry.
Sometimes, even if I go out to inspect, I don't forget to talk about poetry and poetry with some old local poets, study and ask for advice devoutly, and leave hundreds of poems for future generations.
However, for his own poems, ** was not very satisfied with it during his lifetime. He felt that his poems did not read like poems, without the charm of poems, and only fulfilled the wishes expressed, so he was not successful.
FigIn April 1962, at the initiative of the Poetry Journal, a grand poetry symposium was held, which was attended by dozens of poets and theorists in Beijing, and made an enthusiastic speech at the venue.
During the break in the meeting, ** walked to Guo Moruo, who was chatting on the side, and suddenly said sincerely:"I want to worship you as a teacher. ”When Guo Moruo heard this, he hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and said:"The marshal is above, and he doesn't dare to speak up. ”
During the meeting, ** said:"We all have the responsibility to reflect our great cause, our glorious cause, and the future revolutionary future, and to show it to the people and to our future generations. ”
After speaking, ** talked about the various situations he encountered when writing poems, and expressed that he wanted to exchange opinions with everyone present to find some inspiration. He quipped"I want to worship Guo Lao as a teacher and be an apprentice, but he just won't accept it. ”
When Guo Moruo heard this, he said again and again:"The marshal is above, Lao Guo doesn't dare to talk about poetry." Everyone present couldn't help laughing when they heard the humorous conversation between the two, and at the same time, they also admired the character of ** endlessly.
Of course, the reason why Guo Moruo did not dare to be commensurate with his teacher was because of the political level of the two, and on the other hand, he thought that his poetry attainments were no worse than him.
In 1940, under the circumstances of the Anti-Japanese War, the civil war, and the worries of the people, he wrote a poem: The peaks and walls stand at the head of Taihang, and the Yellow River is dangerous. The two sides of the strait are like fire, and this trip should be a consolation for the common enemy.
This poem is magnificent, showing the true character of the general between the words, and it was also popular at the time, which also made Guo Moruo greatly appreciated, and even more appreciated the poetry of **, and couldn't help but make seven poems on the spot, which were published in "Xinhua**".
In those revolutionary years, there were always a lot of books, newspapers and magazines in the jacket of the mount, no matter how frequent the war, how busy the work was, and how difficult the environment was, ** could always send a little time for studying.
In his poems, we can see his democratic ideas and pursuits: "The people are liberated into new masters, and feudalism is destroyed in a different time";His love for nature can be seen: "The stars fall and the birds are busy, and the branches are as clever as springs";There is also his praise of the thoughts and emotions of his comrades-in-arms: "Comrades are still fighting with the same revolution in the same year" and so on.
His poetry level can already be used to guide and review other people's work, coupled with his serious and diligent learning attitude, who dares to call himself his **!
In the second year, ** went to Guo Moruo's hometown of Leshan to investigate, and went to Eryatai on a special trip. In the second year of sending this poem to Guo Moruo, Guo Moruo returned to his hometown Leshan and chanted a song "Denger Yatai Huairen":
It is still dangerous to suppress the purple clouds, and the water on the Tsing Yi River is Yin. When I return, I will have three Chu alone, and I will be the champion of the Ninth Army. The dragon fights the wild blood, and the rooster cries in the wind and rain. When will the Yalu period be, look forward to the high and bitter reminiscence.
Among them, "What day will the Yalu period meet" is the inquiry and expectation of the sentence in **"Reunion", so **This trip will come to Erya Terrace for a visit. After stopping and admiring for a long time, ** sighed to the staff: "It's a pity that Moruo didn't come together." ”
That night, ** made another song of seven uniques, feeling nostalgic for the great historical changes that have taken place in Shuzhong and even the whole country in the past 24 years: Sanjiang Heshui Leshan City, Erya Taichung remembers the old people. Looking at the Emei clouds from afar, quietly watching the Mo Ruoya wind.
This poem was not published in the ** poetry collection, so the two did not have the opportunity to sing and reconcile again, which inevitably became a regret for the two and the world.
With the gradual development of New China, although he is getting older, he still understands the importance of culture. Once, ** went to the Capital Iron and Steel Company to inspect and learn about the production situation, and then asked some personnel.
After listening to the report, ** said earnestly:"Modernization cannot be carried out without intellectuals. It is necessary to greatly increase the productivity of industrial and agricultural production. Intellectuals are the treasure of our country!Chinese intellectuals are patriotic. Only in this way can we build our country faster. ”
In **, intellectuals are one of the most important components in his heart and for the construction and development of the country, and the same is true of the interaction between him and Guo Moruo.
The two of them, one is a literati and the other is a general, not so much poetry and literature that connect them, but the common feeling of serving the motherland has silently drawn a line of fate for them.
The two of them send their nostalgia with poetry, although there are not so many opportunities to meet, but the poetry between them is enviable, and it is this mutual singing and harmony that makes the two talented poets leave this paragraph of literary stories for our descendants.
It's a pity that Guo Moruo saw this poetic old friend again, and it was at his funeral. On July 6, 1976, the 90-year-old ** marshal passed away regrettably.
Hearing the news, 84-year-old Guo Moruo was deeply saddened, regardless of the pain of his illness, Guo Moruo tenaciously came to the funeral of **, bowed deeply to the body of the father of the 50-year friendship, and said his final goodbye.
FigGuo Moruo in his later years).
On the anniversary of his death, Guo Moruo, who was moved, gave another song "August 1 Huai Zhu Zong" to Qilu, and presented a late sacrifice:
Ganshui wind and snow Jinggang Mountain, first worry and then happy years of cold pine.
Polite and elegant, Yue Yue has no Rong to take six dragons.
Serve the people's public servant duty, and share the same enemy.
Anti-blockade, anti-colonial, anti-double hegemony, red banner throughout.
