Categories: Culture Arts >> Literature >>**.

Problem description: And, why did he die? I think a lot of literati died unnatural deaths.

Analysis: Gu Cheng committed suicide in New Zealand on October 8, 1993, and after slashing his wife with an axe (who later died), he hanged himself from a tree.

Gu Cheng is a 20th-century Chinese fairy tale poet, a willful and small-growing child with a simple belief in life. He indulged in self-made illusions, and "innocence is still a very precious artistic spirit". In temperament, there is more "end-of-the-century" melancholy and paranoia.

Gu Cheng is a poet who lives in a dream, and the dream is far from reality, which is exactly the question of "Far and Near". The verses are faint, but the poetry is cold. The integrity between people is between far and near, and he would rather choose "cloud" than "you".

"Cloud" is far near, and "you" is near and far. He has a "vision beyond reality" and strives to pursue a world that is external, simple, and isolated. Gu Cheng has long had a clear understanding of himself, "I am a paranoid person who likes absolutes."

In the end, it was this "paranoia" and "absolute" that made him reach madness, irrational, and in that last moment, he was a neurotic mad poet, and death was perhaps the best childlike return to Gu Cheng. The mystery of his death disappeared the moment he died, and the reading of future generations is often just a wreath of blood woven into memory.

Gu Cheng (born 1956 – died October 8, 1993) is a contemporary Chinese poet born in Beijing. The main representative of hazy poetry. Before the Cultural Revolution, he began to write poetry.

In 1987, he was invited to visit Europe and the United States for cultural exchanges and lectures. In 1988, he went to New Zealand to teach Chinese classical literature and was hired as a researcher in the Department of Asian Languages at the University of Auckland. He later resigned and lived in seclusion on Waiheke Island.

In 1992, he revisited Europe and the United States and created works. He left behind a large number of poems, essays, calligraphy, paintings and other works, and committed suicide after killing his wife in 1993. The work is translated as:

English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish and other more than 10 languages. He is known as the only spiritualist romantic poet of his time. He is known as a "fairy tale poet" who sees the world with a childlike heart.

Compared with Shu Ting's elegance, grace, beauty and sadness, his poems are innocent and flawless, and confusing. However, in his dreamy and childish poems, there is a sense of adult sadness. The sorrow was faint, but it was as heavy as lead.

Because this is not only the poet's personal sorrow, but the sorrow of a generation after awakening, and the sorrow of an awakened generation when they see the reality in front of them.

On October 8, 1993, a number of ** reported that after Gu Cheng seriously injured his wife Xie Ye on Waiheke Island, New Zealand, he left four suicide notes and committed suicide by putting himself on a good land tree with a metal core wire.

After Xie Ye was rushed to the hospital by ambulance in Youtuanqing, he died of his injuries and excessive blood loss that night. or staring.

This news undoubtedly dropped a bomb in the literary world 25 years ago, causing a shock. At the same time, it also left people with huge questions: Gu Cheng and Xie Ye were once a fairy couple that everyone envied, they loved each other so much, what was the reason for this tragedy?

As a "fairy tale poet", why did Gu Cheng become a "murderer"?

In July 1979, Gu Cheng traveled by train from Shanghai to Beijing. When Gu Cheng saw Xie Ye for the first time, he felt that the entire carriage was shining with golden light, and his excitement was beyond words. He eagerly said to his fellow travelers:

It was as if I saw an angel descend upon me, and this girl was all I had. ”

In order to attract Xie Ye's attention, Gu Cheng deliberately spoke loudly in front of Xie Ye, and even stepped forward to talk to Xie Ye, wanting to paint Xie Ye's portrait, but Xie Ye politely refused. But Gu Cheng still took this opportunity to learn Xie Ye's address.

With Gu Cheng's unremitting efforts, the two finally flew together, loved each other, and lived happily together.

During this time, the couple traveled to England, Europe, and the world. Countless sunsets, they hold hands after dusk; For countless rainy mornings, they walked through the trees. As the saying goes, "when there is poverty at the ends of the world, there is only endless love".

On October 8, 1993, on Waiheke Island, New Zealand, a man raised his axe at his wife, whom he once loved so much, who collapsed in a pool of blood and subsequently ended his young life. This person is Gu Cheng, one of the most important representatives of the "hazy poets" in the history of contemporary Chinese poetry, and it is his wife Xie Ye who fell under his sharp axe. Gu Cheng and Xie Ye originally lived a fairy-like life of half lecturing and half seclusion in a place called Waiheke Island in New Zealand.

There they had their lovely son, the fungus, and life could have gone on like this. However, Ying'er came from China, and a kind of "utopian" family life began. It is hard to imagine that the life of "monogamy" has reached an incomprehensible "balance" here.

Xie Ye accepted Ying'er with tolerance beyond ordinary people's imagination at the beginning, and took care of the lives of Gu Cheng and Ying'er ......

When Ying'er and Gu Cheng "fell in love" with each other, but at that time they were just looking at each other from afar, once they got closer, life was different, Gu Cheng's "aura" as a poet gradually disappeared, and the shortcomings as a lover became more and more obvious. Maybe it was the discovery of Ying'er's conscience, maybe Gu Cheng was just a station in his life, anyway, I don't know what the reason is, in the end, Ying'er chose to run away from "home" and follow a foreigner to continue the next love to ......

For this reason, although Gu Cheng was in pain, he could bear it, because he still had Xie Ye, but the most unbearable thing was that Xie Ye, who had always endured humiliation at this time, also took revenge (or she had this open concept in her bones), empathized and fell in love with a German student. Gu Cheng was completely desperate, and Gu Cheng, who had lost his reason, raised his axe to his wife ......Then he hanged himself.

It seems that he killed his wife first and then committed suicide.
