Abstract

In 2000, the French newspaper Le Monde held a “Millennium Heroes” global celebrity selection event from 1001 to 2000. A total of 12 people were selected from around the world, and Su Shi was the only Chinese selected. In China, almost everyone can memorize a few of his poems and tell some anecdotes about him. The name Su Shi (Su Dongpo) has become an eternal cultural memory of the Chinese nation. This article, through literature review and on-site visits, takes the emotion of separation as a clue to narrate Su Shi’s life experiences of separation from family, friends, and the court. This article finds that separation was a lifelong emotion that Su Shi couldn’t forget, and it was precisely because of this emotional clue that Su Shi transformed and reborn into a detached and free-spirited Su Dongpo. The psychological journey of Su Shi’s transformation during separation has great reference significance for us modern people when facing the life and death separation of our loved ones, the melancholy of leaving our hometown, and the disappointment of pursuing our dreams.
