生命不可承受之重——海子和凡·高

海子在成名伊始就对凡·高倍加珍视，从“给我的瘦哥哥”起已萌发出近乎血缘的认同；从“田园”和“太阳”两大诗歌意象系列中也不难看出凡·高绘画对海子诗歌创作或隐或现的影响；海子死后与凡·高一样逐渐被神话，然而其中同样都包含着不同程度的曲解或误读，也许惟有那无言的“麦子”和“向日葵”才真正寄寓着两个伟大灵魂的生命本真。

Unbearable Heaviness of Life——Haizi and Van Gough

Haizi cherished Van Gogh at the beginning of becoming famous and he had had near-kinship recognition of him since his creation of “to my thin brother”. It is not difficult to see the subtle influence of Van Gough＇s painting on Haizi＇s poetic creation from the two poetic image series of “the pastoral” and “the sun”. After his death, he was regarded as a myth just as Van Gough, in which varying degrees of misinterpretation or misreading were included. Perhaps only the silent “wheat” and “sunflower” truly contain the true meaning of life of the two great souls.
