It goes without saying what level of newspaper Renri is.
This time, the newspaper specially sent two reporters to Yangping County to interview Jiang Yulou, which shows how much they value him.
Two reporters came to interview, one was in his forties, almost fifty, and the other was a young girl who had just graduated from college.
It's like bringing the old with the new.
The little girl was very excited about this interview. Along the way, she either asked questions in front of the master, or held a copy of "Yanhe" and recited "Mountain Wood" and "Poem of the Ten Commandments" affectionately.
The mountains along the road overlapped each other, and it was misty and rainy. Sitting in the car, veteran reporter Nie Xin looked at his apprentice Chen Bingqing with emotion.
He had a feeling that he was not keeping up with the times. A poem that he thought was very ordinary became very popular across the country.
It would be fine if ordinary people liked her, but even reporters who graduated from prestigious schools like Chen Bingqing loved her deeply, so he didn't understand.
Moreover, what made him blush was that even his own daughter liked it.
I even heard that many female classmates in her class regard Jiang Yulou as their idol.
Oh my God!
Have times really changed?
It’s only been a few years!
The journey was far away, so he asked his doubts: "Bingqing, these two... love poems are really so good? I see you have memorized them all the way, and you still hold on to the book."
Chen Bingqing put down the magazine in her hand and replied: "Teacher Nie, don't underestimate these two poems. I heard from my juniors that in college, these two poems are better than Xu Zhimo's and Ai Qing's poems. If Compared with ancient poets and poets, Comrade Jiang Yulou is the modern Liu Sanbian and Su Dongpo."
Nie Xin was a little surprised, "Isn't this evaluation too high?"
Chen Bingqing said: "A poem can be remembered by a reader for a lifetime. This poet is awesome enough; a reader can never forget a poem for a lifetime, which shows that the charm of the poem is great enough. We all think that "Mountain Wood" and "Ten Ten" "Poem of Commandments" is such a work."
"Don't look at me as if I was memorizing poems all the way. In fact, I was not. When I read these two poems for the first time, I had already memorized them all in my mind. The reason why I kept reading and memorizing them on the way was just to experience them. The charm of the poem, I want to imprint the poem firmly in my mind.”
Chen Bingqing's evaluation was not low. Although Nie Xin still had reservations, he became more curious about Jiang Yulou.
Sometimes he would also imagine the young man's appearance, that of a scholar with a face like a crown jewel, deep eyes, and a master of writing.
Otherwise, he couldn't think of what kind of young man could write such a love poem.
Then, he also thought of another problem: art requires fine works, readers only recognize fine works, and history only records fine works.
Poetry is such an art that only records the best.
Su Dongpo is famous enough that some scholars have studied that he wrote more than 1,700 political papers and more than 4,800 essays in his life. But if readers are asked to give examples, the first thing that comes to mind is "Niannujiao·Chibi Nostalgia".
There are three hundred Tang poems. Most people cannot remember all the authors, nor can they remember three hundred poems. But there is one person and only one poem in it, that is Zhang Ruoxu and his "Moonlight Night on the Spring River". This single chapter dominates the entire Tang Dynasty, no one knows about it.
Exactly:
Searching the intestines and scraping the belly, frowning, thinking and twisting the beard, walking all over the ground,
God advises you to cheer up. You only need one good poem.
But, will Jiang Yulou be such a poet?
It wasn't until Nie Xin saw Jiang Yulou with his own eyes that he suddenly overturned his impression of a feudal literati.
The young man looks young, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His first impression is not the one described by gorgeous words, but one of simplicity.
Very spiritual and very simple, but not like a scholar, more like...a farmer?
The peasants he thought of were not derogatory. He had met many educated youths, literary youths, writers and poets, as well as ordinary citizens. Jiang Yulou was dressed appropriately, and his energy was not sluggish, but he looked simple.
Therefore, his first thought was how such a young man could write a love poem that is loved by young people all over the country.
The second thought is that maybe only such a young man can write such vivid love poems.
Unlike Nie Xin, Chen Bingqing fell in love with Jiang Yulou at the first sight when she saw her younger brother.
His appearance may not be handsome, but he can still be called handsome. He may not be graceful in his movements, but he is also calm and composed.
A tall man of nearly 1.8 meters is also extremely outstanding in the capital. What is particularly eye-catching are his eyes.
Thick eyebrows and big eyes?
It is profound and full of wisdom!
When talking and laughing, she feels neither humble nor arrogant, and can move forward and retreat freely. She will not pretend to flatter her just because they are from "Human Day".
After Chen Bingqing learned that he had also written a short story, which had been included in the "Contemporary" literary magazine and would be published in July this year, the image in her mind became even fuller.
After introducing each other and getting to know each other, the interview officially began.
The person who asked the question was Nie Xin, and the person who took the pen to take notes was Chen Bingqing.
Nie Xin first asked: "Comrade Jiang Yulou, I'll ask you, can I call you Yulou?"
"Okay, just call me Yulou." Jiang Yulou nodded.
Nie Xin laughed and said: "Yulou, how did you embark on the path of literary creation?"
He was already thinking in his mind that the answer was either a love of literary creation or the influence of his teacher.
However, I didn't expect Jiang Yulou's answer to be so unexpected.
Jiang Yulou did not put gold on his face, but answered honestly: "Because he is poor."
"What?" Nie Xin looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.
Not only him, but also Chen Bingqing stopped the hand that was recording and looked at Jiang Yulou with surprise in his eyes.
The principal was scratching his head and head anxiously. Really, how could Student Jiang answer like this.
This is going to be published in "People's Day". This answer is not correct enough!
Jiang Yulou smiled honestly and explained: "There is no way, my family is too poor, and my parents and brother cannot afford to study by farming."
So, he described to several people present how miserable his family and himself lived before receiving the royalties.
"At that time, my family still owed foreign debts. At school, I ate the cheapest food every day for lunch. I couldn't see any meat for a month. Even the steamed buns I ate were black steamed buns, let alone white-flour steamed buns."
"Coincidentally, one day I saw the call for essays in "Contemporary" and thought of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, it actually happened. Relying on the remuneration, my family's life became much better, and it also strengthened my determination to create. "
Nie Xin didn't expect that the young writer's life would be so hard. At the same time, he also understood why he thought the other person was a farmer at first sight. His intuition was right.
At the same time, he truly admired the young man in front of him.
In such a difficult environment, it is really difficult to create, and it is even more difficult for the work to be published.
