Chapter 125: Undercurrent
Time is flowing forward bit by bit, like a river running towards the sea, singing a song that does not stop for a moment.
Since Gowen's invitation letter was sent out by Gu Cheng, the lives of Gowen, Gu Cheng and Lin Yiming have suddenly become full and busy. I don't know how many letters are sent to my home every day, and the strength of the three of them alone can no longer complete such a difficult work, and then Li Changzheng and Li Hongbo joined in, and then some poets and poetry lovers who rushed from other parts of the country joined in......
The hearts of all young people who love poetry and hazy poetry are blazing!
So the lively scene was staged in this small villa near Fudan University.
Some people are responsible for sorting out letters, some are responsible for reviewing poetry manuscripts, and some are responsible for logistics...... None of this will bring anyone any reward, but no one will refuse, and no one will want to do it.
The irritable and busy work makes everyone happy, everyone's face is excited and irrepressible free smile, and everyone feels that everything they do is sacred and noble!
In this busy work, it is common to see a student who is reading a poem standing up from the pile of letters with a shout, and then begins to recite the work of an unknown hazy poet with emotion, and often at this time, others will stop what they are doing, listen carefully to the student's recitation, and then everyone gets together to discuss enthusiastically.
Although they are just some college students and some wandering poets who came to Shanghai from all over the world to help, they are such an ignorant group of people with simple ideals and hobbies. In their spare time, they sat together and enthusiastically discussed the role and meaning of hazy poetry and even poetry. Its tendencies, its critical function, its clean-up of the chaotic status quo, its prospect of what it has the potential to unfold......
It was such a wonderful experience!
And as time went on, more and more poets, poetry lovers began to appear in this small villa.
This is the residence of Govern and Lin Yiming, but it has also become a temple in the hearts of all hazy poets and lovers!
Hazy poetry has long become a hobby of more and more young people, and every day and every moment, there are young people who like poetry and love hazy poetry to express their ideals and express their emotions with hazy poetry. Hazy poetry has long begun to undercurrent in the land of China. Hazy poetry and poetry have already formed a fierce fire.
It's just that although some literary journals have begun to selectively publish some hazy poetry works, hazy poetry has never been able to express their ideas and concepts in a normal and open manner like other literary works such as scar literature, reflective literature, and reform literature.
For most of the hazy poets, they are not understood. They hide in all corners of the city, writing poems, carefully using such a language to express their true feelings, and then silently communicating in the words of their peers, in those self-written and self-printed poetry "underground" magazines.
And then there was Govyn's idea. And then there was a group of young people who didn't know how thick the sky was!
So. When Govin said in his invitation, "Chinese poetry continues to wander...... Those who demand a solemn understanding from the public and society have long since risen all over the mountains. Authorities cannot understand and accept these facts through introspection...... I would like to hold a special event in the magazine "Harvest" for the "Chinese Hazy Poetry Exhibition", or "Chinese Poetry 1983 'Hazy Poetry Genre Exhibition',...... There is no manifesto to write a manifesto, and no proposition can be written. If there is no system, you can build it!" This letter, which was sent from Shanghai, received an enthusiastic response from all poetry lovers across the country.
This makes the volcano that has been accumulating underground finally have a spewing opening, and. It seems that to participate in the "grand exhibition" is to participate in the creation of history. Based on this. What kind of reputation and influence do you think Govin will have in the minds of these poetry lovers and in the minds of these hazy poets?
So don't be surprised when a thick or thin mimeographed magazine suddenly slips out of a thick envelope; So don't be surprised when that letter of admiration from a young man who loves poetry appears before your eyes; So, you don't have to be surprised when a poem with immature handwriting and an artistic level that is not even as good as that of a beginner appears in front of you......
This is the most sincere and ardent voice in the hearts of all young people who love hazy poetry, all poetry, and all art!
In fact, these letters are not limited to obscure poets, and this exhibition has even prompted some young poets from other modern poetry schools to quickly organize themselves, and they also want to join in. Poems, declarations, and even letters of condolence and cheering poured in.
Although Govin had seen the mimeographed magazine "Singing" from poetry lovers at Fudan University, he was still deeply shocked when the various underground magazines mixed with letters sent from all over the country appeared in front of his eyes!
"Experiment", "38 Contemporary Chinese Youth Poems", "75 Chinese Contemporary Youth Poems", "College Student Poetry Newspaper", "Them", "Modern Poetry Exchange Materials", "Twentieth Century Modern Poetry Chronicle", "Reckless Man", "Square", "Book of Poetry", "Sea", "Mainland", "South", "Hey", "Red Earth", "Feifei", "Ten Senses", "Liquid Jiangnan", "Spoiled", "Tropic of Cancer", "Chinese Poems", "Composition", ......
This is an age of madness, this is an age of idealization, this is an age when poetry can be regarded as life!
As his heart stirred, Govin felt the pressure on him grow heavier and heavier - he was still not sure that he could convince Gao Lin, the editor-in-chief of Harvest magazine.
Although Govin was worried about the unpredictable consequences, he had already contacted Lin Sa of the "Yangcheng Evening News" and Wang Zhiyuan of "Folk Literature", and got a verbal commitment from the two, but Govin still hoped that this hazy poetry exhibition could be published in "Harvest", because only the largest pure literary journal in the country like "Harvest" can really prove the hazy poetry, and can really make most people and magazines recognize the hazy poetry. The influence of "Harvest" is not comparable to that of "Yangcheng Evening News" and "Folk Literature".
The letter with the article "The Rising Poetry Group" has already been sent to the hands of the old-timers in various poetry circles, and most of the replies have already been received.
However, the result of the matter was not as Gewen himself thought, except for Bingxin and Bian Zhilin, the two predecessors who agreed with their views, the old poets Ai Qing and Zang Kejia all held a critical and even negative attitude towards Hazy Poetry and Gowen's "rise theory".
In his reply, Mr. Ai Qing criticized Govin even more fiercely, saying that Govine's article was simply playing the piano and mud.
Mr. Ai Qing believes that although Ge Wen expanded the creative concept of hazy poetry in the article "The Rising Poetry Group", hazy poetry is not only limited to the self, but also extended to society and to the times. Still, Govin recognizes the core of the theory of hazy poetry—the 'I' as the center of his work. For this reason, Mr. Ai Qing also made a vivid analogy in his reply - if everyone only looks at themselves with a mirror in their hand, it will make everyone intoxicated with self-appreciation!
It's just that Ai Qing doesn't know the trend of the times, he doesn't know that with the change of national policies and the awakening of human nature, the previous kind of slogan-based and conceptual political lyric poetry is about to become outdated, and only the poetry that brings poetry back to literature and poetry is the mainstream of development, and it is the real inheritance and continuation of the tradition of Chinese modernist poets such as Li Jinfa, Dai Wangshu, Xu Zhimo, Bian Zhilin, Feng Zhi, and Mu Dan during the May Fourth period. This is the real reason why hazy poetry is loved by so many people.
It's a pity that I don't have time to convince these seniors! Govin thought with regret in his heart.
These days, Govyn has heard their apprehension in the words of many people, and as time goes on, some people have begun to have doubts about whether the hazy poems will be published in Harvest magazine. Also, Govin learned a very surprising news from Lin Yiming's mouth - the news that they wanted to hold a hazy poetry exhibition had begun to spread in the poetry circle. If the matter of the poetry exhibition is not determined as soon as possible, the longer it is delayed, the more likely it will be to twists and turns, and the easier it will be to be stillborn!
This is a very bad spearhead, so no matter what, Govin must get Gao Lin and the editorial department of "Harvest" as soon as possible.
There is no way for Gewen to wait, it doesn't matter if Ai Qing disagrees and Zang Kejia disagrees, as long as Bingxin agrees, as long as Bian Zhilin agrees, that's fine. I believe that with the approval of these two predecessors, at least Gao Lin's views on the article "Rising Poetry Group" will no longer be as uncertain as before.
In this way, you have the possibility to continue to work hard!
Ge Wen looked at the replies from Bingxin, Bian Zhilin and other poetry seniors who agreed with his views, and looked at the more than a dozen hazy poems and poetry selected from the vast pile of envelopes, and let out a long breath -
It's all about success or failure!
If he still can't convince Gao Lin tomorrow, if he still can't get the result he wants from Gao Lin's mouth tomorrow, then he really has to find a second way out!
The lamp on the desk glowed a faint yellow glow, shining on Govyn's face, and there was only a piece of determination.
********************
Since I summarized my shortcomings last time, I seriously plan to make up for two shifts a day in the future, even if I can't catch up on the first night, I have to make up for it the next day.
As a result, after only four days, the biological clock was disordered, and the whole mouth on the fire was swollen in the past few days, eating became a problem, and chewing was difficult. When I am irritable, I can't concentrate on anything.
And then there was only one chapter updated yesterday...... I'm really sorry for everyone.
Wait for a day or two for the body to recover, and then two more shifts, the current state is really unable to stay up late. I hope you can understand.
Finally, please bless and comfort all children's shoes! (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
