The November 1983 issue of Harvest was known to many as a special issue of hazy poetry, and the term quickly spread in all relevant circles.

Although Govern's intention to organize a hazy poetry exhibition had already been known to many well-intentioned people in October, except for those hazy poets who were inspired by Govine's integrity, the other poets in the poetry circle looked like jokes.

Many people do not believe that Harvest will publish an exhibition of hazy poetry as stated in the invitation letter sent by Gowen, after all, Harvest is the most well-known pure literary magazine in the country, and it is impossible to give up its nobility all the time because of a small editor, you must know that most hazy poems are not even those unknown tabloids are willing to publish.

What's more, many people in the circle know that Ai Qing, Zang Kejia and other predecessors in the poetry world have criticized hazy poetry on different occasions, and have also satirized this farce of Gowen.

But the truth came out of nowhere.

Those who want to see the joke are doomed to disappointment.

The same is true of those predecessors who have repeatedly criticized Gowen.

Looking at the hazy poetry exhibition in the magazine, looking at the "Rising Poetry Group", many people's faces were hot, and they were slapped hard by the hazy poems and Gowen.

Harvest magazine not only held an exhibition of Misty Poetry, as promised in Gowen's invitation letter, but also marked at the end of the exhibition that this exhibition was only the first issue.

What does this mean?

The article "The Rising Poetry Group" was like a depth bomb that suddenly exploded in the poetry world, which surprised countless people. The poetry world, which was not calm at all, suddenly became turbulent. With the passage of time, conservatives and diehards in the poetry world began to write articles in the media criticizing "Harvest" and "The Rising Poetry Group", and the entire poetry circle suddenly fell into a state of dire straits.

Opponents scolded Govin for his wolf ambitions. It is said that "The Rising Poetry Group" is a strong rhetoric, preaching an unhealthy trend, and a countercurrent in the development of socialist literature and art in the new era, saying that hazy poetry is not the rise of modern poetry but the gravedigger of modern poetry......

Those in favor of it say that Govyn's "Rising Poems" provides a theoretical basis for hazy poetry, and that the future development of hazy poetry in the article is even more insightful, which is a vivid example of Gowen's hazy poetry "Wheat Land", which was published at the same time as "Rising Poems......

And then all kinds of newspapers and magazines began to become an arena for wrestling between the two sides.

……

The controversy in the poetry world is in full swing, but this does not affect the enthusiasm of the majority of poetry lovers.

This is an era of poetry cooking. The enthusiasm of young people for poetry is unparalleled. There's a joke that will give you an idea of the age of this crazy poetry lover -

Just throw a brick downstairs and you can hit a couple of poets, so please don't look down on poets. Unless you want to be the enemy of the people.

However, in the era when there are so many people who like poetry and love poetry, the works of the vast majority of young poets cannot be published in official newspapers, magazines, and books. So countless poetry lovers waited for milk, and then a gluttonous feast appeared in front of them at once.

……

More than a decade later, a misty poetry critic named Li Xiang tried to reconstruct a great controversy that lasted for two years.

After studying this history for a whole year. Li Xiang published a book of "Misty Poetry Controversy".

Li Xiang wrote in his book: No matter what the identity of the person who criticized "The Rising Poetry Group" was. Whatever influential works they have written, they have already appeared as losers in the history of modern poetry in this debate. The hazy poetry they criticized has become a behemoth in the history of modern Chinese poetry and has a pivotal position. The "Rising Poetry Group", which was widely criticized, was written into the textbooks of the university's Chinese department as a milestone in the hazy poetry movement, and was widely read as a key chapter in the "History of Contemporary Literature".

The incomplete statistics of this book, which is also Li Xiang, show that there were hundreds of articles criticizing "The Rising Poetry Group" in the poetry circle that year, and the total number of words has reached several million words......

What would ordinary people do in the face of such a bombardment? Mental depression? Apprehensive? Or smug?

Govin is at peace. He didn't care about the poets and critics who opposed him or even criticized him. Because it seemed to him that he had achieved his purpose-

Eyes for the hazy poetry! Lead the way for the hazy poets!

As for those beam-jumping clowns. Why should he waste his saliva?

What's more, because of this hazy poetry and poetry exhibition of "Harvest", a new wave of poetry has begun to break out across the country.

There are now more than twice as many poetry manuscripts sent home every day as there were before the Harvest published the Misty Poetry Exhibition, and it is not limited to Misty Poetry.

In addition, according to the poets who helped, when they called their friends at home, they got a lot of news: now poetry lovers all over China have begun to take action, and various poetry associations, poetry recitals, and poetry lectures have appeared in schools, factories, and residential areas all over the country......

From this point of view, it is this hazy poetry exhibition that ignites the fire of modern poetry in this era, and what follows must be the trend of prairie fire.

A poetry exhibition not only allowed the influence of hazy poetry to expand rapidly among readers, but also established the status of hazy poetry in the history of contemporary Chinese poetry. More importantly, this poetry exhibition not only created a precedent for a large-scale poetry collection in China, activated more people's enthusiasm for poetry creation, and allowed a large number of unknown young poets to enter the classroom. It also makes the ancient literary form of poetry deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Chinese!

What is there not to be satisfied with?

So when the poetry world was in full swing and was about to go into battle shirtless, Govyn's attention had been put on another thing-

What makes a good work? What makes a big splash?

Public praise! Of course, it's the reader's word-of-mouth!

No matter what kind of work, it must be evidenced by word of mouth.

In early August, CCTV broadcast a 25-episode documentary about the geography and humanities along the Yangtze River, which received an unprecedented enthusiastic response as soon as it was broadcast, which was the first time that Chinese audiences had a comprehensive and intuitive view of the country's human geography.

It is through this documentary that all Chinese have seen with their own eyes the magnificent scenery of their own country and learned about the vastness and rejuvenation of the motherland. For ordinary people who eagerly hope for the rapid prosperity and strength of the country, this documentary makes them feel very refreshed and stimulates their patriotic enthusiasm hidden in their hearts. As a result, the documentary "Words of the Yangtze River" quickly hit 40% of the ratings on CCTV.

Then Gewen wrote several cultural essays, although these two cultural essays are not as complete as "Words of the Yangtze River", but the emotions in the articles, the sincere and strong emotions of worrying about the country and the people, are more than "Words of the Yangtze River", which has resonated with countless readers.

And then there is "The Rise of a Great Power", which also aroused the creative idea from watching "Words of the Yangtze River"!

Although the series of articles on the rise of great powers is about the history of the rise of great powers in the Western world, it is precisely such articles that resonate with all readers.

With the opening up of the country's policies, more and more people have begun to pay attention to the outside world and the image of their own country.

Every Chinese knows that their motherland has a splendid culture in the past and is the pearl of the world, but in modern times it has been bullied and oppressed, and finally waited for the founding of New China, everyone began to work hard to catch up with the world powers, and then ten years of turmoil began.

Now that the policy has improved, everyone's hearts are holding a lot of energy, and all Chinese want to make their lives more satisfying and make the motherland stronger!

Everyone knows that the Chinese nation is experiencing a phoenix nirvana and is experiencing a process of rejuvenation, and then Gowen's series of articles on the rise of great powers allows Chinese to understand the world and how those former world powers in the past years went to the world.

Such an article is exactly what everyone needs.

Naturally, just like CCTV's "Words on the Yangtze River", it was quickly recited and discussed among readers, without the blame of the so-called experts, without the criticism of the so-called professors, and all of them were unanimously optimistic about Gowen's article, which is really rare.

On this day, Govin finally received a call from the editorial department of Reader's Digest, and the enthusiastic middle-aged man on the phone was Zheng Yuanxu. On the phone, Zheng Yuan continued to ask Gewen about the manuscript of the next issue, and boldly and bluntly made Gowen on the phone roll his eyes.

Later, during the chat between the two, Zheng Yuanxu learned from Gewen's mouth that Gewen had not received the sample and manuscript fee of "Reader's Digest", which couldn't help but make Zheng Yuanxu feel embarrassed, but this bold man from the northwest immediately admitted his mistake to Gewen and promised to get things done immediately.

And from Zheng Yuanxu's mouth, Govin also learned a piece of information-

After the publication of the first article on the rise of great powers, "Ocean Times", many leaders called the editorial department to inquire about the article, and the highest level among these leaders was Comrade He Jingzhi, deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department!
