China is in trouble and its mountains and rivers are shattered

shed heroic tears

Looking across the river, don’t lean on the railing

My motherland is worthy of looking back and sighing at the world.

Dreaming back to an ordinary place in an alley

The neighing of thieves and horses hinders

The sword shines brightly like a dragon

Kill all the enemy soldiers and golden bandits and charge towards the sky

This poem "Poppy Killing the Enemy" was written by a twelve-year-old boy in the second year of Jianyan, that is, 1128 AD. At this time, one year had passed since the Jingkang Rebellion, and the Jin Kingdom

The war with the Song Dynasty has not been extinguished yet.

The young man's surname was Yu, and his name was Gu Han. Yu Guhan was not originally named that way, but the war broke out in his hometown of Kaifeng. Overnight, his parents died, and he became an orphan and homeless. In just over a year, it can be said that

He has tasted all the warmth and warmth of human beings in the world, and seen all the desolation of the world. Because he was filled with emotion and resentment, he named himself "Guhan". In addition, there is an unconcealable sense of aloofness and pride in the word "Gu".

meaning.

Logically speaking, such a poem of iron-blooded killing should not use the word "Yu Meiren", but the scenes and things Yu Guhan saw at that time did make him feel sad and upright. Perhaps it was only such a contradiction.

The lyrics are a true reflection of his feelings at that time.

The first half of this poem describes the desolation of the broken mountains and rivers, the tears of the heroes, and the unbearable desolation. The second half describes the story of returning to the alleys of my hometown from a dream, and seeing the thieves and horses neighing and blocking the way, and having the courage to draw the sword and kill the enemy soldiers.

Soaring pride.

There is not much literary talent in the words, and every sentence is like vernacular, but the sadness, anger, unwillingness, and the sacrifice of one's life when killing the enemy, and the soaring spirit, are a different scene. If it is not a personal experience, if it is not true feelings

A twelve-year-old boy would never be able to write such contradictory words.

From the first year of Jianyan to the spring of the second year of Jianyan, the Jin soldiers were divided into three groups and started a tug-of-war with the Song soldiers near Kaifeng. At that time, Zongze was in charge of the Kaifeng Remaining Division. Although he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, the veteran calmly dispatched the troops and deployed the battle, so that

The Jin soldiers were helpless and could not capture Kaifeng.

After April, the weather gradually became hotter. The Jin soldiers had begun to retreat north due to the heavy consumption of manpower and material resources and the lack of adaptability to the climate. At this time, veteran general Zongze began to actively prepare for the Northern Expedition. He ordered Wang Yan's Eight-Character Army to live in Huazhou.

, Ma Kuo, the leader of Wuma Mountain, also came to Kaifeng to help out.

At that time, Zongze, Ma Kuo, and Wang Yan formulated a feasible plan for the Northern Expedition and submitted restoration plans as many as twenty-four times, but they never received support from Gaozong and Zhaogou.

On the first day of July, due to the hot weather, veteran Zong Ze suffered from back gangrene and passed away with regret. Before his death, he still shouted: "Cross the river! Cross the river! Cross the river!"

Although the boy was still young, he had witnessed this process with his own eyes, so it was not surprising that he wrote such contradictory words.

After Zongze's death, Du Chong succeeded him and stayed behind. This thief was not good at strategy, but was cruel and easy to kill. In August, the Jin soldiers invaded south again and suffered several defeats. He shamelessly chose to surrender. So the Jin soldiers continued to move south.

, as if entering uninhabited territory, they successively captured Xuzhou, Huaiyang, Sizhou, attacked Yangzhou, and then Jiankang and other places fell successively.

Yu Guhan followed the refugees and traveled south. In the fourth year of Jianyan, he came to the ancient city of Jiankang. He spent two spring and autumn in the war. At this time, he had grown taller and looked ten years old.

He looks like he is seven or eight years old. He just has a face, but he is still very immature, but his expression is calm.

"Jiankang, has this ancient city that has been prosperous for hundreds of years been burned to ruins by the war?" Yu Guhan stood in front of the city wall, looking at the broken bricks and tiles in front of him, but for a moment he had no intention of entering.

Maybe it was because he couldn't bear to see the desolate post-war scenes in the city, or maybe he was disappointed with Jiankang, but he didn't hesitate, and then turned around and left. After walking five or six miles, he saw a ruined temple in front of him.

After looking at it for a moment, I walked into it.

This is an earth temple. If it were in peacetime, it would definitely not look like this. But now in the ruined temple, half of the statue has been broken, there are piles of weeds, and there is a musty smell.

It was evening, the setting sun was still shining, and some rays of rays penetrated through the cracks in the ruined temple and shot into the ruined temple, making Yugu Hanfeng's figure look longer and longer.

At this time, he was busy piling the weeds in the ruined temple into piles so that he could use them as a bed to rest at night. It was mid-to-late April, just after late spring, and it was already early summer. Although the weather was getting warmer, there were still occasional

The cold wind is biting and it is still chilly late at night. These weeds may be able to keep out the cold to some extent.

Going south from Kaifeng, Yu Guhan spent most of his time out on the streets or in the wilderness. He tasted the coldness at night, so he made preparations in advance.

After getting everything done, Yu Guhan had to worry about how to fill his stomach. After running all the way, he had not finished all the grains of rice for a day. Now that he was near the mountains, he hoped to catch some game and have a full meal.

A meal.

Thinking like this, Yu Guhan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then walked into the forest. The trees here are dense, mostly evergreen trees. They are green all year round, with very few yellow leaves.

Yu Guhan walked in the forest for a while, except for birds, he didn't see any hares, pheasants or the like in the forest. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, picked up a few stones and said softly: "Birds.

, Even cannibalism is not a strange thing in this world. I really can’t stand the hunger and cold today, so I can only feed myself with you."

Yu Guhan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his internal strength has already been developed to a certain extent. This ordinary stone popped out in his hand, no less than any copper and iron weapon. Several whizzing sounds spread through the air, followed by the cry of birds.

.

A few birds fell on the ground, struggled a few times, and died. Yu Guhan picked them up, took them to the water, washed them, picked up some dry firewood, and returned to the ruined temple.

After a lot of work, a pile of firewood was lit. He skewered the skinned, gutted and washed bird on a wooden tip, made a rack, and roasted it on the fire.

Not long after, several birds were half burnt, but Yu Guhan didn't pay much attention to it. He swallowed it in large gulps. After filling his stomach, he felt a little trapped. In the past two or three years, he wandered around.

, I have long been accustomed to resting when I feel sleepy.

Without thinking much about anything else, Yu Guhan lay down on the weeds and looked at the bright moon that had just hit the sky through the gap in the ruined temple.

Tonight is the thirteenth, and it will be the night of the full moon in two days. According to the ancient customs, the full moon is the night of reunion. But now Yu Guhan's family has long been gone, and he is alone, who can he reunite with?

?

The more I thought about it, the less comfortable I felt. In a daze, I felt no sleep at all.

The night gradually deepened, and the world became completely dark. The cold wind howled and poured in through the gaps in the ruined temple. Yu Guhan felt awake for a while and couldn't help but sit up. He was sleepy before because he had been hungry for a long time and after a full meal.

It’s a normal reaction, but there are so many things to worry about right now, how can I fall asleep?

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and then a man covered in blood fell into the ruined temple.
