Literati, a group of dissociated in the material and spiritual world -- psychopaths!
They pursue spiritual liberation at the same time, they hope to bring material enjoyment and inspiration, in a dual world full of contradictions. They flaunted their lofty and clean character, but they had to go through all kinds of hardships in mon life. They were suffering, confused, confused and at a loss. They continue to pursue the ideal spiritual height in pain, the more suffering in the material world, the more addicted to the spiritual world.
They are a tough bunch of psychopaths. As far away as the Spring and Autumn And warring States, qu Yuan said: “all drunk I wake up alone, all cloudy I alone”. According to the current psychological *** ysis, Qu Yuan is a self-centered psychopath who only sees his own heart and ignores the fundamental existence of the world. This is the extreme spiritual and extreme material mutual collision, in front of the powerful unshakable material world, Qu Yuan‘s spiritual world as *** all as the ants under Mount Taishan so vulnerable, finally can not bear the extreme repression of the spiritual world, to jump into the river suicide to end his life, to cry the awakening of the world!
This is a tragedy. However, it happens more than once...
Modern literati who mitted suicide include Wang Guowei, Sanmao, Haizi, Lao She, Gu Cheng and so on. Among them, The suicide of Haizi impressed me the most, which is also the most typical case of the contradiction beeen the material and spiritual world of literati.
Haizi, formerly known as Zha Haisheng, anwei Zha Wan people. Born in March 1964, he was admitted to the Law Department of Peking University at the age of 15 in 1979 and then assigned to teach in China University of Political Science and Law. In the roaring train, the broken body -- along with his poems, his dreams, shattered in only a hasty 26 years. This is a tragedy!
The poet Haizi said in facing the sea with Spring Flowers blossoming: From tomorrow on, I will be a happy man... I only want to face the sea with spring flowers. Haizi yearns for the sea all his life, expects to be able to appreciate the sea by the sea to run high, from the quiet demeanor. From the poem we can feel his strong yearning for the sea and life is full of warmth.
But it was this poem that laid the foundation for his suicide. It was the contradiction beeen the despair of life and the yearning for the sea, which finally made him put his hope in tomorrow and leave his despair in today. It is the extreme impoverishment of material and the high fullness of the spiritual world that make Haizi unbearable torture and force him to be highly schizophrenic and finally go to the road of no return. At the time of his death, the old and New Testaments, Thoreau’s Walden, Hyadal‘s The Raft of the Seas, and Conrad’s selected Novels were tumbling down in the gale...
We can foresee the occurrence of tragedy, whether in the past or in the future, it will happen constantly, constantly for the history of literature, draw the outline of a pen and ink deep sorrow.
It was the over-active spirit of literati higher than the thinking depth of others that made them farther and farther away from the crowd, and finally they could not bear to be alone in the world, and all of them ended their own lives with extreme. The defect of their character is obvious, pure and noble, solitary, isolated from others, wandering constantly beeen spiritual and material worlds, leading to schizophrenia!
I hope the future literati, can sober up a bit.
