“你们别说我死了,即使我闭着双眼断了气,在祖国的怀抱里/永远会躺着我的坟。” 这是铁依甫江的《祖国,我生命的土壤》中的诗句。非常不幸!不到一年时间,我国两位优秀的维吾尔族诗人相继去世了:一位是克里木·霍加;另一位是中国作家协会副主席铁依甫江·艾里耶夫,年仅五十九岁。我对他们的过早逝世感到格外悲伤,因为他俩是我多年相交、共过许多患难的好朋友。 “Do not say that I am dead, even though I am out of breath with my eyes closed and in my arms of the motherland / forever lying my grave.” “This is the iron mother of My Country, the soil of my life” verse. Very unfortunate! In less than a year, two outstanding Uyghur national poets in China have died one after another: one is Krim Khokha; the other is Tie Yi Fu Jiang Eryev, the vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association. Only 59 years old. I feel particularly saddened by their premature death, for they are good friends whom I have met for many years and have had many afflictions.
