Listen to Deng Chao read Xu Zhimo’s "Accidental" and watch Luo Yizhou interpret "Farewell to Cambridge" with dance

This week, the third installment of "Sven Jiangnan", jointly produced by Oriental Satellite TV and Pumpkin Vision Industry, will bring the audience close to Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, which is rich in humanistic history and has nurtured a group of literary talents. The program will invite Deng Chao, Yu Haoming, Yu Mailei and Luo Yizhou to read the classic works of Xu Zhimo, Mao Dun, Wang Guowei and Xiao Tong respectively. Together with Duan Huaiqing, a professor of Chinese at Fudan University, and Huang Xiaodan, an associate professor at the School of Humanities of Jiangnan University, the two scholars explore the meaning and life story contained in the works.

This week’s program will revolve around Xu Zhimo’s works and stories. Deng Chao will read Xu Zhimo’s classic works such as "Farewell to Kangqiao", "Accidental", "Gray Life" and "To Liang Qichao". Accompanied by the host Cao Kefan’s recitation, Luo Yizhou also used a dance to interpret his heart’s "Farewell to Kangqiao". Guests and scholars explore the love, freedom and beauty that Xu Zhimo has pursued in his life.

Deng Chaoyan reads six classics and shares the secrets of love preservation

In this episode of the program, Deng Chao will read six classic works by Xu Zhimo’s "Farewell to Kangqiao", "Words", "Gray Life", "Tiger Collection. Preface", "Accidental" and "To Liang Qichao". In "Tiger Collection. Preface", let everyone understand the impact of Kangqiao years on Xu Zhimo’s life: "Before the age of 24, his interest in poetry was far less than his interest in relativity or civil covenant theory. It was the water of the Kang River that opened up the poet’s soul and awakened the poet’s destiny that had been stinging in his heart for a long time." Through "Accidental", the audience can understand Xu Zhimo’s deep understanding of life and emotions. In Duan Huaiqing’s opinion, this poem is not just a simple love poem, but also an exclamation of life, full of interesting philosophy.

When it comes to love, scholars and guests shared three relationships that Xu Zhimo experienced in his life. In his life, Zhang Youyi, Lin Huiyin, and Lu Xiaoman were all very important figures. Lu Xiaoman could be said to be the most compatible with Xu Zhimo. The two were essentially the same kind of people, and they naturally combined with love. "After Xu Zhimo passed away, the curtains of Lu Xiaoman’s house were never opened, whether it was night or day, she used this way to express her repentance and redemption!" Cao Kefan said.

Around Xu Zhimo’s emotional experience, the guests also shared their own views on love. As we all know, Deng Chao and Sun Li are "model couples" in the entertainment industry, and Deng Chao also shared their love secrets in the program. "Every day, she always calculates the time and squeezes toothpaste for me, because toothpaste will be very hard after a long time, which is very difficult to stick to. When I go out, she will prepare medicine and vitamin C for me, write a month’s amount, or a week’s amount, and how to eat it during the day…" Deng Chao remembered not only Sun Li’s silent efforts, but also her criticism and reminder when he was proud, "She is a lover and a teacher!"

Luo Yizhou dances "Farewell to Cambridge", recalling the past of Cambridge

"I go gently, just as I come gently… I wave my sleeves without taking away a cloud." Every time Xu Zhimo is mentioned, people will gently recite his "Farewell to Cambridge". This time, Luo Yizhou used a dance to interpret Xu Zhimo’s classic. Luo Yizhou said that he had completed his teacher’s homework with this "Farewell to Cambridge" dance when he was a student, so this time in the program, accompanied by Cao Kefan’s affectionate recitation, he danced to the poem again.

The two scholars also shared the story behind "Goodbye to Cambridge". The title page of the magazine that published "Goodbye to Cambridge" had Venus Broken Arm on it, Huang Xiaodan said. "It may also be the first time Venus Broken Arm was introduced to China." Huang Xiaodan also said that Xu Zhimo, a famous modern Chinese poet of the Crescent School, published "Goodbye to Kangqiao" in addition to "Goodbye to Kangqiao", but because the editor would not give sections to the new poem, "Goodbye to Kangqiao" was published three times. "The new poem was just beginning at that time, and everyone tried it. When it was published for the first time, there was no section. When it was published for the second time, it was divided into sections, but it was not divided correctly. The third time it was changed, it was finally divided correctly."

Tonight at 20:30, "Sven Jiangnan" invites you to meet the cultural sages of Jiaxing and read the classics together, so stay tuned!
