Jacqueline Dupree with a shooting star in the night sky

"Meteor over the night sky", I am willing to use this topic, hoping to pay tribute to some of my friends on the Internet. Under this topic, I have shared many stories from them. Mentioned that the stories that lack meaning in current politics are really like the stars flashing in the depths of the historical tunnel. In their writing, these stories are skimmed from the sediment and buoys, showing the true colors of life, which is contemplative. Asking for but not paying often makes me feel ashamed. I hope I can share something, but it's not easy. It can be regarded as a star, but it is fleeting. The moment of light illuminates a certain period of time and space, and then disappears. It is unknown. It is just accidentally picked up by you like a shell. What kind of opportunity and luck are it really not a matter of cultivation. Can get it.

There are two books and two sets of CDs in front of me, both of which are related to Jacqueline Dupree. One is co-authored by her sister Hillary and younger brother Pierce, "A Genius at Home", the Chinese name is "Jacqueline Dupree" ", the other is called "The Biography of Du Pree", it is copied from the Internet, the author is anonymous; one of the two CDs is a double CD set of Du Pree’s Cello Concerto, of course produced by EMI, it can be said that this cello player’s swan song during his lifetime. Unparalleled; another CD is the DVD of the movie "She Is Lonely Than Fireworks", a pirated copy. In these media, Du Pree seems to have multiple faces, which vary from person to person. I have watched a movie first, and after watching it, I sighed that a musician can be a god in his work and a ghost in life. It is hard to imagine that the music is so magnificent and passionate, but the person is almost hysterical, selfish and unruly, and can only say Music occupies all of her soul, and what is left in the world is a body that is difficult for the world to understand. However, when I look at "The Biography of Du Pree" and other memoir articles, I find that things are not that simple. Almost everyone outside the Du Pre family will use words such as humor, generosity, and optimism to describe Jackie, and she is still shy and respectful. Good, kind, of course, no one will forget that the genius is peerless, the age is different. Fu Cong said: "I knew her when she was 16 years old. She and her husband Daniel Barron Boeing met at a banquet at my house. That movie was too fake and it was infuriating to look at." So it was a good one. The movie collapsed in front of me. Apparently some of them lied, but I don’t know whether those who love her are too kind, or those who don’t like her want to cover it up. Therefore, in addition to lamenting the complexity of human nature, I must also lament the unpredictability of people's hearts.

Jacqueline Dupree’s background is quite enviable. Her father was an amateur writer. His ancestors made colognes. Although he did not get rich, he was also self-sufficient. Mom was a good pianist and music teacher. This kind mother prepared for her daughter. The music curriculum, with rich pictures and texts, has been published as a music education book for children. It is very popular. There is no doubt that genius children should be born here. After the end of World War II, the United Kingdom and the whole of Europe were peaceful and peaceful. Various types of art developed rapidly. Music as a listening art, with the help of radio and television technology and recording technology, has attracted unprecedented attention. In addition to a large number of patrons, we are now so-called enthusiasts. The group of ordinary people began to support a huge industry. Music gives people the joy of life. People give musicians and investors honor and considerable returns. Healthy development brings unprecedented prosperity. At the right time, Hillary and Jacqueline were born. In such a luxuriant landscape, they all have enviable musical geniuses, and how lucky they are to have parents who understand music and know how to educate.

"A Genius in a Family" was published in 1997. Hillary is 55 years old. Ten years after Jacqueline's death, something seems to have touched her. The aforementioned "Biography of Du Pree" has a lot of criticisms about this family, especially It was for Hillary, saying that she was not good to her sister. During her severe illness, she even had to beg her family to see her. Such a cold relationship is unbelievable. But in any case, Hillary's writing is delicate, many wonderful plots are like a novel, and affectionate, the "Du Pray Biography" is like a running account, boring. In Hillary's writings, the Dupree family in childhood is simply a paradise on earth. The past is vivid. Jackie owned a cello for the first time, played on stage for the first time, and was even sick and awkward, all of which were outlined by the sun as a golden edge. Mom’s cello tutorial was so interesting, and it didn’t take long for Jackie to need separate tutoring. She was sent to the London cello school at the age of 5, and she could perform on stage at the age of 6, as Hill (the family called Hilary) described 6 Year-old sister: "She stood up in front of the audience without pretending at all. She paused and brewed good emotions. Jackie, the focus of the cello and everyone in the room is direct and powerful. She uses the cello to communicate with each other. I talked, and the voice she loved so much became her own voice. My back trembled."

There are high and low talents. Hill does not deny that she is sometimes jealous of her younger sister, but more often she is proud of her. The whole family spoils Jackie. She is also very dependent on her family. The older sister debuted earlier, but the younger sister is still gradually Leaving her sister behind, and fortunately, my mother found William Pris, as Jackie's lifetime mentor, known as "Papa Cello". Jackie won the Sugia Scholarship at the age of eleven. It is specially set up for young cellists. All the winners are selected from a hundred. However, this honor seems to come too early, because the condition is that the winner must practice for more than four hours a day. Basically deprived of time for general education. Perhaps no child is willing to go to school, and being able to escape school in the name of practicing piano is quite happy for the child. Jackie was fortunate enough to get Rostopovich's advice at the age of 14, and later saw Casals, who was already a myth, but the little girl seemed to disdain them, she only recognized her "Dad Cello." When he was 16 years old, he successfully held his first solo concert, which shocked the world and became famous overnight. The young cellist of Sri Lanka can already look back on Casals and Rostopovich, and their different levels of tutoring have increased her qualifications and qualities that are comparable to them.

Well, everything looks hopeful, everything looks brilliant, no one would have expected that the disaster is actually not far away. In multiple versions of biographies and memoirs, this harmonious and happy family has been unanimously respected, and there is no objection. Controversial issues appeared after Jackie's adolescence. She is tall and strong, with long blond hair, and a cheerful and optimistic personality. She is the center of the crowd wherever she goes. Although her communication skills are limited, there are still a large group of young talents surrounding her. After discovering her sexual abilities in surprise, she had a period of triumphant years under the pomegranate skirt, until she met Barron Boeing, this short Jewish youth immediately conquered her, for love, Jackie rushed before the Seven Day War Israel, married Barron Boeing and converted to Judaism, these are shocking enough, but the family still supports her. This commendable pair of golden boys and girls immediately set off a music storm all over the world, Jackie began an endless musical journey, and her family became farther and farther away. Her sister, Hillary, married an ordinary music conductor, quit the music scene very early, married her husband and raised her son, and lived an uncontested pastoral life in the suburbs.

There was no warning when the disaster came. In 1971, Jackie was 28 years old. She had a musical journey with her husband and stayed with her husband. Pierce still remembered her suitcase full of various kinds of banknotes for many years. Career, sweet love, obsessive audience, interesting and wide-ranging friends, but suddenly, this girl who was flying outside the sky fell into Clinton’s life crying, and she began to ignore her in her writings. Lun Boeing, crying, crying for a long time in grief, no one can dissuade him, and hurt his mother's heart, verbally verbally at his father, occupying his brother-in-law, and causing pain to his family with outsiders. It was precisely this year that Jackie was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. In fact, she had various symptoms many years ago, but it was considered fatigue or psychological stress. The pathological manifestation of multiple sclerosis is that the tissues surrounding the neuron cells slowly harden, causing the nervous system to lose function and shrink due to compression. This disease is difficult to diagnose, and there is no specific medicine. It is very similar to a big tree slowly stiffening and dying. Jackie’s two-sided new life makes her very unbearable in the writings of her sister and brother. In the eyes of the world, she is still optimistic and strong. She attends various activities, teaches students, and fights against the disease. It is said that patients with multiple sclerosis will be inexplicable. I don’t know if it’s pathological or psychological subconscious compensation. Maybe it’s the latter, because this disease is so painful.

The movie "She Is Lonely Than Fireworks" caused a wide-ranging but bad influence. The reason was that the director failed to be faithful to any biography. The film became a self-talking novelist and a dinosaurized specimen of a musician. Everyone who has watched movies thinks that musicians who go outside of music are fools and lunatics. They do not know that it is precisely the most mundane cause-disease, rather than utilitarian husbands and demanding audiences, which caused Du Pree's later mutation. Hillary Clinton has a lot of narratives about this disease in the back of the biography, and feels guilty that she didn’t expect to be caused by the disease, but all this is not paid attention to by the film director. He only pays attention to conflicts, shocking plots, Specimen meaning, maybe the box office of the movie, and that person? What about that sunny family? It becomes a meaningless embellishment.

If there is a God, maybe he will find some spokespersons on the earth. They are not necessarily preachers who recite the Bible. No, it should not be any human language. The most likely thing is a gurgling stream and occasional cicadas. The sound of frogs, the thunderbolt of lightning or the whistling north wind, and the closest thing to these sounds, music. The only thing that humans can sing with the gods is music. Among the stringed instruments, the cello is the closest to the human voice, and the emotions it expresses are probably the most moving. This is an instrument that requires physical strength. Its bow is more than 70 centimeters long, and the tension of the strings is said to reach 30 pounds. Therefore, it is rare to see excellent female luthiers in the world. In the field of cello, Du Pree is not only a female middle school. Hero, in the palm of her hand, the cello is violent and wild in the loud human voice. Her performance can be said to despise the beard. A Chinese poet described her music like this: "The flowing water is formed on it. The vault. The flowing water obeyed the dead wood, leaving deep traces." If there is no disease to stem from, this female violinist may become the greatest cello player, even from the public performance at the age of 18 to the farewell stage at the age of 28. In just ten years, what has been left is far more than the few who are still active in the international music scene, including Youyouma who inherited "Daviddorf".

From the perspective of life itself, a woman, before the age of 18, was smart and early wisdom, happy and innocent. From 18 to 28, she was world-renowned and had everything a person could get. Then suddenly she fell from heaven to hell. Disease made her" Can’t walk or move”, but she still “behaves” very strongly. Behind all of this, there are many things that are not humane, it is the ulcer tissue under the scar. You know that there must be it, so what? Bear the heart to uncover it to prove it to others. She once loved humans so much and brought happiness and gratitude to everyone. She had doubted, overcome, doubted again, and secretly confided in viciousness. These are the results of the blooming of the flower of life. If anyone complains about the unfair destiny, then listen to Du Pre. You will hear God say: Look at this man, she has got everything, but she has paid it back in her life. She returned the joy to the world but the suffering Gave it back to myself,
