Chapter 534: A Poet Who Doesn't Want to Be a Poet
The following is what Ye Chao remembers, the poem of Luo Pai's "Prodigal Son's Feelings" - this one, the name of the poem is "Japanese Restaurant":
The first and last time
Date in a Japanese restaurant
I don't know when we meet
Is it the beginning of love or
The end of love
You say you love me to me
And let me use Japanese
Tell you I love you
But the only Japanese I know is
SA-YU-NA-LA
Farewell, I can only kiss deeply
Tell you
I don't love but I don't want to be ruthless
1991.
It turned out to be for separation
It turned out to be for separation
Fate arranged for us to meet
Unexpectedly, it was familiar at first sight
I didn't expect to leave with a smile
The mood will be heavy
There was a vague feeling
But it's profound
That's the tremor when I kiss you
And as much as I want you to be
I can't describe your sad smile
There is a feeling that is very sincere
But it's hazy
If you ask me why I love you
I can't answer but love you
It makes my heart flutter deeply
I dare not pray for the dawn and the sunset
I only hope to be able to be with you
This emotion can be cherished for you
When you've been through all the vicissitudes of life
I might say I once loved you
1990.
A windless day
A windless day
The mood is not calm either
A child who grew up in turbulent years
The soul carries trauma
Sorrow is a song with a beautiful melody
I often sing alone
The sea is always as blue as a clear sky
The clouds drifted away again
Maybe youth is really gone
The enthusiasm drifted away like a smoke ring
In the days to come
Who will I miss?
I've gotten it but never cherished it
I have never been grateful to have been loved
It's always chic when it comes in a flutter
When he quietly left, he was already wet with tears
1990.
A journey to the end of the world
Finish your cigarette
Give me the cigarette case
I'm going to treasure it
It is a memorial to the abandoned
The desire of the heart
Ignited by you one by one
Inhale in the smoke ring that you exhale
Dissipate through the smoky winter
I will never see your beautiful face again
I know I won't be able to get your love
Let me run away, far away
I don't have the courage to leave you
Don't dare to torture yourself anymore
The long night was spent in longing
By the time the light came, I had been
Fossilized
It's been thousands of years later
Only in my old heart
still treasure your youth
And in the years of wandering
I've made the end of the world for you

Regarding the comments on "The Feelings of the Prodigal Son", there is Yang Guangzhi's "From Xi Murong, Wang Guozhen to Luo Pai - The First Talk of Boom Poems" in the poetry magazine.
Regardless of the attitude towards it, craze poetry is an objective existence.
It tugs at the heartstrings of a wide range of readers, especially boys and girls, and hits the poetry world. Its light dazzled many people in the poetry world, attracted curses, and also attracted admiration.
This poetic miracle began in the spring of 1987 with the Xi Murong fever that swept the country.
So far, more than 1.5 million copies of its three poetry collections (Qili Xiang, Uncomplaining Youth, and Nine Chapters of Time) have been printed by Xi's Huacheng Publishing House, which has been officially authorized by Xi's official publications.
At the same time, the derivative editions of these three poetry collections, the collection and the appreciation collection, have also been printed in large numbers. This not only provided spiritual food for many readers, but also promoted the transformation of the poetic style of the new generation of poets.
Xi Murong's hot afterglow was not cold, and in the summer of 1990, Wang Guo's real heat broke out again.
His poetry collections ("Young Wind", "Young Tide", "Young Thoughts", etc.) have been printed in nearly 1 million copies. In June 1990, when Wang Guozhen came to Guangzhou to participate in the 85th anniversary celebration of his alma mater, Jinan University, which aroused a round of warm applause, a new wave of poetry appeared in colleges and universities in Guangzhou.
Luo Pai, a young boy who graduated from a famous medical university and joined the business world after two years as a doctor, has become a hot topic among college students.
His poetry collection "The Prodigal Son's Feelings" (published by Guangdong Tourism Publishing House) sold more than 2,000 copies at South China Normal University alone, and some people bought seven copies at a time.
It is said that at Jinan University, ""The Prodigal Son's Feelings" has been on sale for less than three days, and I don't know that Luo Pai's classmates are as rare as aliens. ”
Even students who are not scholars of literature have spontaneously organized Luopai poetry seminars.
According to reports: In the Beijing Road store of Guangzhou Xinhua Bookstore, "The Prodigal Son's Feelings" has become the best-selling poetry collection after "Xi Murong and Wang Guozhen's poetry collection".
This fever is radiating to the whole of China, and a single bookstore in Beijing has bought 6,000 copies and said that it is "far from enough...... Today, more than 30,000 copies of the first edition have been sold out, and the second edition is being printed in a hurry. This fever has the potential to "burn the prairie fire".
The emergence of three poetry crazes one after another is an unprecedented spectacle in the history of Chinese literature, but this is by no means a phenomenon that will be the last.
Who is the successor? I don't know, Ye Chao is also looking forward to it, in fact, he is also a genius, and he can also write good poems, but unfortunately, the appearance of heart magic changed his life......
Ye Chao knew that he could no longer be a poet in this life, he could only be a prodigal son, just like the prodigal son in the poet's pen.
The poet wrote about the prodigal son, but he could only be a poet and not a prodigal son, but Ye Chao was a prodigal son, not a poet.
I think he also had a dream of being a poet at the beginning.
Ye Chao remembered that "The Prodigal Son's Feelings" had not been officially published that year, and copies of its proofs had been circulated in some universities in Guangzhou. On the evening of May 31, 1991, dozens of students from Sun Yat-sen University, South China Normal University, Jinan University and Zhongshan Medical College gathered at Huayan Hotel to discuss Luopai. Because the author is related to Xi Re and Wang Re, and is the preface to "The Prodigal Son's Feelings", he was invited to participate.
At the meeting, the students expressed their opinions on Luo Pai's works to the fullest, and also conducted a "public opinion poll" by raising their hands, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic, and in the midst of the heated debate, it was natural to associate it with the works of Xi Murong and Wang Guozhen, and everyone thought that such poems with many readers should be named so that they could be called.
Some people proposed to call it "popular poetry" or "popular poetry", but it was immediately opposed. The reason for this is that it would be downgraded by associating it with "popular", "popular songs", "pop songs", etc.
Because they are, after all, the highest form of literature, poetry, and many of these works are more serious than the serious works of serious poets, and they are of a very high level.
The students gave a long list of examples: Xi Murong's "Ballad of the Great Wall", "Cliff Chrysanthemum", "Thousand-Year Wish", "Copper Engraving", "Worry", ...... Wang Guozhen's "Beautiful Wish", "To a Friend", "That Withered is a Flower", "Summer, in the Valley" ...... Luo Pai's "Black Bat", "Flower Appreciation", "Years", "Labyrinth" ...... Everyone thinks that these poems have no vulgar fat powder and creaminess, and should not be confused with pop songs and popular songs.
Some people proposed to call it "civilian poetry", but it was quickly rejected.
"Commoner" is the opposite of "noble", and "plebeian poetry" means that it is full of commoner consciousness, and the expression technique is easy to accept by the commoners, but it fails to contain the characteristics of "heat".
