"Some people are still alive,
He died;
Some people died,
He's alive.
someone
Riding on the people's heads: "Oh, how great I am!"
someone
Bend down and be a cow and a horse for the people.
someone
Carve your name on the stone for "immortality";
someone
I'd rather be a weed and wait for the underground fire.
someone
He lives and no one else can live;
someone
He lives to make life better for most people.
Riding on people's heads,
People threw him down;
Those who work for the people,
People will always remember him!
Carve his name on a stone,
The name decays earlier than the corpse;
Wherever the spring breeze blows,
There are green weeds everywhere.
He's alive, and no one else can,
His fate can be seen;
He lives for the benefit of most people,
The crowd held him high and high. "
Cang Kejia's Some People —— Thoughts on commemorating Mr. Lu Xun
This poem was written on the eve of the founding of 1948. Its original intention is to sum up the feelings of old China, and all its contents have been fulfilled repeatedly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so it can be listed as the most important poem since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The historical background is that the Chiang Kai-shek clique is about to be thrown into the sea, and a new China has broken through the thick clouds. Why did Chiang Kai-shek lose? Bureaucracy and corruption are rampant, the rich go to heaven, and most of the poor can't live. So after ten years of agrarian revolutionary war and three years of bloody battles in the Central Plains, the firm will of the majority of the 450 million people in China emerged: to break old China and rebuild new China! A bloody new China was born in the suffering of the people. ...
It rained all over the sky, everywhere, and it was really safe from now on? No, the poet answered profound worries and thoughts with experience, which are social, historical, good and evil, eternal and decadent ... Poetry is like a whip, whipping the souls of the lower classes.
The new China has turned a page, but justice and injustice, justice and injustice, conscience and evil will continue to compete. ...
Cang Kejia is a Yan 'an poet, but here he did not use any simple political preaching, but used artistic thinking to enter the society to think and try to answer.
In 1950s, the most important thing that Cang Kejia did was to establish Poetry magazine and serve as its first editor.
Why can Cang Kejia write this poem at a time of great social change? Before that, he participated in a wide range of social, political and cultural practices, which were uneven and complicated, and he had a deep understanding of China's national conditions. Only when his experience in the first half of his life is at a low ebb can he make such a summary.
"Some people are alive, but they are dead"-Chiang Kai-shek, bureaucrats, big landlords and capitalists, and those who illegally possess wealth;
"Some people are dead, but they are still alive" —— Since the Xinhai, since the May 4th Movement, people with lofty ideals, passionate youth and martyrs. ...
"Some people ride on others' heads:" Oh, how great I am! ""-bureaucratic oligarchy;
"Some people bend down to be cows and horses for the people." -early * * * producers and various social reformers;
If he rides on people's heads, people will throw him down-we have seen it. History will also confirm.
