公刘:1955-1957

A Contemporary Poet Gong Liu from 1955 to 1957

1955年,诗人公刘奉调由云南进京,入职总政文化部创作室,命运从此发生较大转变。他因“历史问题”在“肃反”运动中成为“特嫌”而被“重点审查”。1956年夏,公刘重获自由后,迎来了一个创作高峰,却在1957年被批判为“右派分子”。公刘在1955-1957年所经历的一系列波澜,可以成为我们理解他后来诗歌创作思想的一个窗口。

In 1955,the poet Gong Liu's job was transferred from Yunnan to Beijing,and he joined the creation workshop of the Cultural Department of the General Political Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.Since then,his fate had been greatly changed.He became a"special suspect"in the"Campaign to Eliminate Counterrevolutionaries"due to"historical issues"and was"specially investigated".After regaining his freedom in 1956,he ushered into another creative peak,but was criticized as a"rightist"in 1957.The series of tortuousness that Gong Liu experienced from 1955 to 1957 could be taken as a window for us to understand his later poetry creation.
