Tang Yuewen left the Jiang family before Jiang's father and mother came back.
She was not ready to meet Jiang Yulou's parents, and it was not appropriate to do so anonymously.
Just when Jiang Yulou's second work was about to be completed, the editorial department of "Yanhe" magazine in the provincial capital received two letters, and these two letters would cause an uproar in the future.
"Yanhe" magazine, formerly known as "Shaanxi Literature and Art", is a long-established literary magazine in the provincial capital of Shaanxi. It was founded in 1956 and is the most influential magazine in Shaanxi.
Since the end of that incident, "Yanhe" has received more and more submissions from authors, including those from other places, but the largest number of submissions are from local authors.
Lu Yao, editor of Yanhe magazine.
Speaking of road rumors, everyone must know it.
His book "The Ordinary World" was selected into the "Collection of 70 Novels in the 70 Years of New China". This novel was later adapted into a TV series and has a huge influence.
Of course, there is also an anecdote, that is, he worked as a farmer in Liangjiahe in his early years and lived in a cave dwelling with senior leaders.
Lu Yao is from Yulin. After graduating from Yan University, he has been assigned to work as an editor at "Yanhe" magazine. It has been three years so far.
Don't think that Lu Yao is just a newbie who graduated three years ago. In fact, he is already thirty years old.
When he was in his twenties, he published a poem about his life in the newspaper of the county where he lived.
Later, he set up a literary magazine in Yanchuan County, during which he wrote many poems.
Yes, this novelist became famous in the county by writing poems in his early years.
It was not until he was in college that he started his writing career after reading a large number of Chinese and foreign classics. He published many short stories in "Yanhe" one after another, and since then he has formed an indissoluble bond with "Yanhe" magazine.
Precisely because he has poetry writing experience, he is one of the review editors for poetry submissions in the editorial department.
It’s just that in the three years since he was an editor, there really weren’t many poems that caught his eye.
"Another submission of poetry."
Lu Yao picked up an email, looked at the submission type, and shook his head.
It is easy to get started with modern poetry, but it is not easy to write well.
He glanced at the envelope. The envelope's address was Yangping County Cultural Center, and the delivery person's name was Li Yao.
Cultural center?
Lu Yao cheered up a little.
To be able to work in a cultural center, you probably have good literary skills.
Since "Yanhe" has no restrictions on contributors, the contributors are mixed, and the quality of the manuscripts fluctuates. Many manuscripts are full of typos, not to mention illogical sentences, which is a torture for reviewers.
With a hint of expectation, Lu Yao opened the envelope and took out the manuscript.
The manuscript only consists of two pieces of paper, one for each poem.
"interesting."
Lu Yao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, picked up the cup with his right hand and took a sip of tea.
Then, he glanced at the title of the poem, ""Mountain Wood"?"
Although Lu Yao was well-read and had read many classics, he didn't quite understand why the poem was named Mountain Tree.
So, he continued to read.
This look made him look serious.
He chanted softly,
"On the roadside of Ququchi, there are few people walking in spring.
…
Love is separated by mountains and seas, and mountains and seas cannot be leveled. "
Ah, what a beautiful poem!
Especially the longing for lovers in two places expressed in it is moving.
Lu Yao is a person who loves poetry, so he naturally knows the gold content of this poem.
Silently recalling the poems he had written over the years, he was ashamed to find that none of them could compare to "Mountain Wood" by Yangping County poet Li Yao.
He has already made a decision in his heart. No matter what, this poem will be published in the new issue of "Yanhe" magazine. It is useless for anyone to object!
I recited it four or five times, but still had the urge to get up in arms.
It wasn't until he drank all the tea in the cup that he calmed down his restless mood.
Looking at the manuscript in his hand, he hesitated.
Lu Yao felt uneasy and did not dare to look at the second manuscript.
The first poem is so good, can the second one surpass it?
If the difference in quality of the second poem is too big, he will be very disappointed.
It's just that it's normal for such a good poem to be rare.
He smiled to himself and picked up the second manuscript.
As usual, Lu Yao first looked at the title of the poem, "Poem of the Ten Commandments?"
The title of the poem still puzzled him, so he continued reading.
"First of all, it is best not to meet each other, so that we can not fall in love.
…
Ande and you are inseparable, so we don't have to worry about missing each other in life and death. "
It is a modern poem, and it is a love poem.
Lu Yao already had an image of a talented man trapped in love in his mind.
This talented man was separated from his loved one, which is why he wrote "Mountain Wood". He may have broken up because of this, and was hurt by love, so he composed this "Poem of the Ten Commandments".
Ancient poems and modern poems were at his fingertips, and he even thought of Nalan Xinde about the pain of love, love, and lovesickness.
Lu Yao sighed: "I can't wait to meet Comrade Li right away!"
He really wanted to meet this Li Yao. What kind of person could write such a poignant and touching love poem?
"Women will be crazy about these two poems." Lu Yao made this judgment in his heart.
The other editors in the editorial department looked at Lu Yao and muttered something under his breath for a while, slapped the table for a while, and lamented for a while, as if he was possessed by something with joy or sorrow.
Is it because the editorial department has been under too much pressure recently?
It is also possible that the number of submissions this year is more than double that of the same period last year. In the absence of an increase in editors, everyone will feel exhausted after doubling their workload.
"Xiaolu, if you are stressed, you can rest. If you want, we can help you share some of it. Young people's health is important, don't tire yourself out."
Wang Ye, an old comrade from the editorial department, walked up to Lu Yao and spoke earnestly.
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, knowing that the old comrade had misunderstood, he quickly said: "Brother Wang, look at this submission, both poems are amazing!"
"Oh? Let me take a look."
Wang Ye raised his eyebrows and became curious.
Although Lu Yao's poetic talent is average, he has rich creative experience and usually has a very high vision. There are not many poems that catch his eye. Now there are two poems that even he thinks are good, which has not happened in so many years.
"Eh?! Are these two poems really written by our Shaanxi poets? They are so well written!"
Wang Ye's eyes were filled with brilliant lights.
Such a poetic talent must not be buried!
Lu Yao asked: "Brother Wang also thinks these two poems are well written?"
"Yes, they are extremely well written. These two love poems are rarely matched by contemporary poets." Wang Ye praised.
Lu Yao was overjoyed and said quickly: "Then let's go find the editor now. It's better to publish such a good poem as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's go find the editor-in-chief right now." Wang Ye said with a smile: "In all these years, our "Yanhe" has never published a poem of such high quality. This time it fills the gap."
The two of them took the manuscript and came to the editor-in-chief's office, chatting and laughing.
