He stood in front of the elevator day and night. He packed neatly and took his suitcase with him. He didn't want to appear in front of his family when he was arrested.
Although Shostakovich was afraid of Stalin's power, he wrote countless famous songs while waiting in fear. His life is full of legends and controversies.
During Stalin's period, lyrics and songs were widely sung and were the best media. Stalin worships individualism, and he hopes that Shostakovich's lyrics and songs can be used by him to promote his political thoughts.
We don't know whether Stalin really appreciated his lyrics.
Stalin banned the spread of Shostakovich's works in the early days, and later allowed his works to spread widely. Everything rises and falls according to Stalin's wishes.
With the death of Stalin, Shostakovich fell into another kind of anxiety. He is afraid that he will make unforgivable mistakes in his political stance and his wife and daughter will be implicated. He dare not act rashly. Ready to be taken away for trial.
This reminds me of Wei Zhi, a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty. Their political stance also experienced the pain of regime change, but their fate was different.
At first, Wei Zhi followed Shi Biao's uprising, and he was not taken seriously. After Shi Biao was killed, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and persuaded Li Ji himself.
After being entrusted with an important task, Li was repeatedly advised to get rid of it. Lee didn't listen to him out of concern for brotherhood.
Soon, the Xuanwu Gate Uprising was launched, killing Li and Li Yuanji. Ask Wei Zhi why he wants to alienate his brother.
Wei Zhi said: If the prince had taken my advice, what happened today would not have happened.
Wei Zhi's words not only solved the siege of the coup in Li Shimin, but also laid the foundation for the future development of Wei Zhi.
At the same time, Li Shimin wanted to tell him that he didn't want to kill Li and Li Yuanji, but that they had long wanted to kill themselves. Li Shimin killed them in self-defense at this time.
In this sense, Li Shimin needs Wei Zhi to live, help him to wash away the crime of killing his brother and prove the legitimacy of his killing his brother.
Can't his own party, such as the eighteen bachelors in Ce Tian, prove him? I really can't prove it. Everyone knows that they are Li Shimin's subordinates, and they don't think they are strong enough to testify. Only Wei Zhi can prove it.
His special status before playing for him determines that he is very important to me at this moment.
He used to be a subordinate of rival Li, and he is the best candidate for rehabilitation.
This article will discuss the important factors that determine the fate of Shostakovich and Wei Zhi from three aspects.
1. Birth background
Shostakovich was born in an ordinary family, and his father was weak and often ran away from home. But he was kind to him and allowed him to thrive, while his mother was very strong to him.
He is the youngest child and the only boy in the family, so his mother and two sisters spoil him very much.
Especially his mother, on the one hand, is a pet, on the other hand, she is controlled in the name of a pet, especially in his love and marriage. First, he is not allowed to fall in love with his first love, tatyana. Later, he was not allowed to marry Tania and Nita he liked.
From this perspective, the original ecological family had a great influence on him, and Shostakovich inherited his father's cowardice.
At the same time, the stronger the mother is, the weaker the child is, and it is easy to form a cowardly character. He dare not resist, and the change of the external environment will make him more afraid.
He can't do what he wants happily, so he is very restrained. Stalin banned his works, and he dared not have the slightest objection. He obediently locked the music in the drawer.
And Kevin·Z, whose ancestral home is Xiaquyang, Julu County. Although his family was a noble family, the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty before he was born.
When Zheng Wei was one year old, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was replaced by Emperor Wendi. When he was a child, the situation was turbulent and he changed hands several times.
Wei Zhi's family has also become very poor in the turmoil, and Wei Zhi's dream is to do something big one day.
When he grows up, Zheng Wei wants to have his own world. He is poor and has nothing. He doesn't care about the danger, and he doesn't care about how to end up after failure.
We have reached the end of our rope, and the end point of our efforts is to stay at the bottom or get ahead. Wei Zhi has been working hard for this.
2. Political stance
Shostakovich performed on193665438+1October 26th. The performance was very special, with Comrade Stalin at the scene. Stalin sat in a government box.
The government box is located above the percussion group and the brass group, so these two groups are highly nervous. They didn't play according to Shostakovich's score during the performance, and the sound was very scary.
Before the fourth act, Stalin's box was empty. As soon as the performance was over, Shostakovich packed his bags and fled to the railway station. He was waiting for arrest in fear.
He never dreamed that a performance would be linked to politics and the consequences would be so serious.
It turned out that Stalin paid more attention to him and specially arranged time to watch his performance. Unexpectedly, it was ruined by his partner.
From then on, he stood on the opposite side of Stalin. It's as if he really wants to marry tania, just because he used the wrong provocation and told her that he was going to marry someone else.
I didn't expect tania to marry someone else before him. It was really an accident. He spent the rest of his life thinking about Tania.
Stalin has been living in fear since the performance offended him. He is always ready to be caught by the police, and he is always worried that his wife Nita and daughter will be caught.
It feels like a fugitive running around aimlessly. Also like the downstairs neighbor of Puss in Boots. After taking off one boot, the cat continued to wait for the other boot to land. If it doesn't land, he won't sleep well. I feel uneasy.
You want me to die, I have to die. Anxiety and pain tormented him, and he couldn't feel at ease every day before reaching a definite ending.
Similarly, Wei Zhi is suffering from nowhere to put it. When Wei Zhi followed Shi Biao, although he was not taken seriously, he never gave up.
Later, after Shi Biao was killed, he gave advice under Li.
Unexpectedly, when he was killed by Li, he was taken in by Emperor Taizong. Wei Zhi often advised Emperor Taizong to provide the best service for Li Shimin, and reminded him not to go astray.
Is Wei Zhi not afraid in front of these leaders? Of course not. A companion is like a tiger. If you accidentally say the wrong thing, you will lose your head.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the mountains. Why did Wei Zheng dare to say it? Wei Zhi is more worried that his good advice will not be adopted than losing his mind. He is more worried about the security of his country.
Shostakovich and Wei Zhi, one worried about the family, the other worried about everyone. The political structures of these two people are very different.
This also determines that there are differences in their thinking directions. Things often happen with our attention and changes.
If Shostakovich had changed his mind, his ending would have been very different from today.
Shostakovich can make full use of his status as a composer, actively guide Stalin and do his best for the better development of the country.
3. Personality characteristics
After Stalin left, Shostakovich immediately became worried. Always carry the box and accept the test. He didn't remedy it at once.
Shostakovich was afraid of Stalin's power, but he was not afraid of Stalin.
Shostakovich can completely convince people around Stalin to help explain after Stalin left.
You can also write to tell Stalin that the partner was so excited when he first met Stalin that he made a performance mistake and didn't mean to disrespect him.
If Stalin can forgive him, it is the best ending. If you can't forgive him, there will be a penalty immediately, so you don't have to wait in front of the elevator every day.
If Shostakovich tries to change the status quo, there will be no regrets even if there is no happy ending. In addition, there is a 50% chance that there will be a good result, but he has not tried.
On the other hand, Wei Zhi has been telling the truth all his life. After Shi Biao was killed, he surrendered and was later reused by Prince Li. Li was promoted after he was killed.
No matter which boss he is, he appreciates his courage and drive. His behavior won him a better chance.
He who knows the times is a hero. In the process of dealing with things, Wei Zhi did not hit a person when he was down, nor did he give a tit-for-tat to his successor.
Wei Zhi does everything just right, he is not a swing, he has his own bottom line of honesty. He publicly acknowledged the suggestion of killing Li Shimin for the prince, but it was not adopted.
This not only saved the dignity of the prince, but also saved the face of Emperor Taizong. It is much easier to admit that you have made a mistake than to suffer.
But the talented Shostakovich was tired of his personality all his life. Instead of working hard in another direction, he stubbornly followed his strong feelings.
Shostakovich fell into pessimism and let it spread, which eventually became a foregone conclusion. Fear accompanied him all his life.
He can jump out of this strange circle, break the shackles around him and bravely move in the opposite direction, so that he will gain hope and positive feedback.
