Chapter 22: The Poetry Movement Is About to Explode!
Gewen grabbed Li Hongbo, who was about to bow, and said in a loud voice: "No, no." In my heart, I have some appreciation for this upright young man, dare to act, and have the courage to admit his mistakes.
Li Changzheng next to him said: "You can make our classmate Hong Bo willingly admit his mistakes, Gowen, you are really amazing." As soon as he said this, he immediately provoked a laugh from the young people who were doing it, Li Hongbo is usually called a brute bull by them, precisely because this guy is too upright, he always endures reason, and he often gives people headaches when he talks and acts.
Li Hongbo waved his hand at Li Changzheng and said, "Go away, will you die if you don't speak?" ”
Li Changzheng was swallowed by him all of a sudden, and he had nothing to say. The people who were already smiling laughed out loud when they saw that Li Changzheng, who was able to speak well, was choked and couldn't speak.
Govin also smiled at the warm scene in front of him, and couldn't help but feel good about these people in his heart.
Li Changzheng pretended not to hear everyone's ridicule, turned his head to look at Govyn and said, "Govin, tell us about your understanding of current poetry, right?" As soon as the words came out, the laughter all around him suddenly stopped, and he looked at Govin quietly.
The corners of Gowen's mouth showed a wry smile, it seemed that he couldn't escape today and was going to be embarrassed in front of everyone. He thought for a moment, looked up at the expectant eyes of everyone present, and said solemnly almost word by word: "In my opinion, the momentum of my country's poetry movement has begun irreversibly!" ”
"Any idea why I say that? As you all know, I'm a trainee editor at Harvest magazine, and I handle almost all of the editorial staff's manuscripts, and almost a third of these letters are poetry, and this. ”
Govin picked up the plastic-sealed notebook that Li Changzheng handed him in the reading room from the netg, turned the title page, and recited the words on it: "What do we get by doing this?" Maybe we're not unaware. Actually, we don't know. Then he closed his notebook and raised it in the air, and then sighed, "On the way to the dormitory, I heard Li Changzheng say that this manuscript "Singing" magazine is published every six months, and this magazine, which has only one issue per issue, can appear on the campus of Fudan University in hundreds of different editions and frantically pass them to each other among students. This shows that everyone loves poetry! This indicates that poetry is about to enter an unprecedented period of activity! ”
Gowen's words made everyone present excited, and everyone whispered to each other to discuss. As a poetry lover, a would-be poet, is there any news that would make them happier even more?
"Tell me what you think is needed to create poetry, right?" An anxious young man in the crowd asked.
"I just described to you how I wrote "One Generation", and my personal understanding is that no matter what kind of poetry it is, poets must contain strong feelings in the poems they create, so that they can move themselves and move readers. This is a basic condition that includes poetry. Gewen said that he suddenly remembered that Zhao Lihua, the leader of the pear style sect on the Internet in later generations, came, and he added, "In order to attract people's attention, it is not impossible to deliberately engage in some strange poetry genres, but if there is no emotion, it is simply a desecration of the sacredness of poetry art!" ”
"Oh, Gowen, what do you think of those who are constantly yelling that they can't read modern poetry?" Another young man stood up and asked.
Govyn motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "There are two sides to everything, and we can't simply say that these people who can't read poetry are wrong, nor can we say that they are right.
After Bai Juyi, an ancient poet in China, wrote a poem, he would take it to the market and read it to all kinds of people, if someone said that he couldn't read it, Bai Juyi thought that the poem he created had failed. Here I want to say that Bai Juyi's approach is a bit too straightforward, how can an illiterate person understand poetry?
On the other hand, if a poem does not contain the slightest emotion, so the nong is mysterious, selling the gorgeous words of nong, it makes people confused, can't read and can't read, let alone readers who can't understand it, even we, the quasi-poets, should also warn the owner of the poem: I can't understand what you write, because this is not a poem, this is just a pile of words! ”
"When a reader who really likes poetry says that he can't read a poem, while examining and analyzing the shortcomings of his own poetry, we also want to tell this reader -- what I want to pay attention to is your unique slogan: 'I don't understand.'" Comrades try to use this slogan to try to break into other places. There can only be one reply: 'Let's learn'. ”
Govin concludes with a quote from the Soviet writer Mayakovsky, much to the admiration of those present for his erudition.
"Listening to Gowen's conversation just now, it seems that there is some opposition to the hazy poetry?"
In 1983, hazy poetry was already popular among young people, especially college students, and Gowen's "One Generation" is in a sense hazy poetry, which is one of the reasons why Gowen has received so much attention. But when I heard Govyn's statement on poetry creation, I couldn't help but ask under suspicion, and some classmates finally couldn't help but ask.
Ge Wen took the water cup handed over by Li Changzheng, drank a few sips, and then pretended to say: "Are you planning to torture me all the time, I can't bear this wheel war." ”
Li Hongbo was holding a notebook to take notes, but at this moment he couldn't help but say loudly: "Gowen, change the topic less, hurry up, are you against hazy poetry?" But how do you create hazy poetry? Isn't that a paradox? ”
Govin laughed and said, "When did I say that I was right about the hazy poem?" Not really. Actually, I admire the index finger of the poet who writes hazy poetry. It seems to me that there is no greater poet in this age than the index finger! ”
As if he remembered something, Govin suddenly asked, "By the way, have you read the poetry of the index finger?" ”
"Read." Everyone nodded and said.
"And where did you get to read the poems of your index finger?" Govyn asked.
"A classmate in Heilongjiang copied a poem from his index finger in a letter to me."
"There is a poem of the index finger in the manuscript circulated in our school, and "To a Friend" is really infectious!"
"I saw it in a mimeographed xiao magazine."
……
Govin nodded and said, "In this way, everyone has seen the poems of the index finger through various channels, so have you read his poems in open newspapers and magazines?" ”
Seeing that everyone looked at each other and nodded their heads, Govin said loudly: "I want to ask everyone to remember the poet of the index finger, whose poetry is the first poetry that appeared after the founding of the People's Republic of China and did not rely on the media, but only relied on the people's hearts!" The deep feelings and shouts of his soul have soothed many people, and how many people have been emotionally resonated and comforted. When the main generals of hazy poetry are still in the midst of méng, the index finger has already written an epoch-making chapter. It is no exaggeration to say that the index finger is the first person to write new poems. His poetry is like a painkiller that has broken the cap of a bottle, stuffed into us sensitive and melancholy children, and it is precisely because of poetry, with the index finger that carries the pain and hard work, that we will not feel lonely......"
