Maybe a poet should not and will not commit suicide because of a 2,000 yuan mortgage.

A recent piece of inconspicuous news is that a poet from Guangdong committed suicide due to the pressure of his mortgage.

The media likes to use eye-catching headlines. Although many people know these tricks, they don't believe that an adult would commit suicide because of a 2,000 yuan mortgage.

The cruelty of the adult world is often stressful, and knowledge does not come only from money.

So I checked it out and found that it was from 2008, but it was mechanically copied to this year. This was reported at the time:

According to reports, my classmate’s home is in a remote rural area of ??Meizhou. He lost his father when he was a child. He and his sister were both raised by their mother, and their family was very poor. In July 2005, after graduating from the Chinese Department of Jinan University, I joined Gemdale Dongguan Company. Hang Yiwei, a writer from Dongguan, said in his blog that my fellow native Shu "later went to Shenzhen and established a cultural communication company. I heard that it was a loss. Perhaps the pressure of survival made him finally make this desperate choice." According to another report, my classmate was sick and unemployed for half a year before entering the cultural weekend.

Some people who have been in contact with Tongshu believe that an important reason for his suicide was that he could not bear the pressure of the mortgage. According to reports, my girlfriend and I bought a duplex house with a mortgage last year. Later, at the request of a certain publication, my classmate Shu wrote an article titled "Being a House Slave", describing his journey of buying a house. The article stated that it borrowed 654.38 million yuan from Dongfang to pay for the down payment, lawyer fees, deed taxes and other expenses.

Tongdaoshu lamented in the article: "I have never spent so much money, but I am very tired." According to reports, he had to repay a mortgage of more than 2,000 yuan per month for a total of 240 months. "By then, almost everyone had a gray beard," he wrote.

And this makes the poet envious. Liu Dacheng said that two or three years after my girlfriend and I graduated, Tongshu bought a house. "And those of us who are living at the bottom have come to Dongguan empty-handed for so many years and have never even thought about buying a house."

But some media revealed that at the beginning of this year, after my hometown friend Shu came back from Shenzhen, I am unemployed and living on my girlfriend's salary. After paying off the mortgage on the house in July, the cash in his hand became much tighter. This claim has not been confirmed.

Death

On August 0, 2008, 65438 hanged himself at his home in Dongguan. He left his last poem "Disappearance" before his death.

I want to know about your image in the media. I thought no one knew about the past news, so I took it out and read it again. Can't you use a snack? As long as it is easy to get attention, can it be used regardless of whether it is new or old?

This is truly an era of entertainment to death.

Poets who commit suicide are a special group. First of all, they have a keen mind and can discern changes in the world. Secondly, their social ideals and artistic pursuits are pure and beautiful. Finally, they all have incompatible personalities, with simple, extreme, impatient, and fragile psychological characteristics.

They pursue their ideals with a simple and keen heart. When there is a gap between ideal and reality, they feel helpless and feel that they have failed. If this continues, they will feel lonely, depressed, and world-weary. If this emotion cannot be resolved in time, they will choose to escape reality, close themselves off, and anesthetize themselves with the poet's unique illusion and mysticism. ?

Wang Guowei committed suicide by drowning in the Yuzao Pavilion of Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace on June 2, 1927;

The female poet Tadpole cut the veins on her thighs with a scalpel in March 1987 Suicide;

Medi poet Haizi committed suicide by lying on the train in Shanhaiguan on March 26, 1989.

Gu Cheng, October 8, 1993, killed his wife and hanged himself on Waiheke Island, New Zealand;

Because art contains emotions, good art is also the expression of emotions, so poets, writers, and painters They are all artists in my eyes.

These are all famous poets, and there are countless artists at the bottom of the art (literary) pyramid who committed suicide and left the creative circle.

We should not laugh at the vulnerability of others, but we have to feel that when the world is crying for an interesting and rich spiritual food, most of them still choose endless material things, even though everyone is already rich.

Sometimes I can’t understand this society’s judgment on art. After all, aesthetics and feelings are very personal. However, some things that have nothing to do with art are packaged by the media in such a way that they have no aesthetics or feelings, but they deceive the public.

I don’t know the poet’s situation, and I can’t make random remarks, but for example, if a group randomly selects a few unknown painters to exhibit their paintings, parents coming here will be like taking their children to a market. . From a certain perspective, the current art market really looks like a vegetable market. In fact, many exhibitions are incomprehensible to everyone, even the creators themselves. The introduction below the work is full of emotions that have nothing to do with the work.

But in a market without aesthetics, a person’s tie determines the degree to which an artist is understood. For example, the paintings that everyone likes must first be realistic, which is contrary to the expression that the artist wants. Words with weak intuitive expression are more difficult, especially poetry.

Japanese director Takeshi Kitano hates this environment very much, and even said that art is useless and cannot be understood by most people. Even if he says so, he himself is a very great painter. But his work never sold, and he insisted that he was a layman.

I have my own small studio, and sometimes I accept friends of all ages who like to paint. Some parents come to consult me, and I tell them straightforwardly whether their children like painting or not, whether it is to cultivate their sentiments or to learn a skill. Art is not really useful, but art is never boring. It's like a drug sometimes. If you are sensitive to art, you will become addicted. If you don’t have it or don’t like it, don’t let your child learn to draw. What dreams a child wants to have is up to the child, not us. If the child is gifted, it can sprout without anyone's intervention. We are just icing on the cake.

True art is the lonely path of the self, which may be above material things. The direction and goals pursued will be completely opposite to what the public needs.

Maybe a poet should not and will not commit suicide because of a 2,000 yuan mortgage.
