Chapter 39: Interviews
There is no need to go into detail about what kind of newspaper "Renri" is.
This time, the newspaper specially sent two reporters to Yangping County to interview Jiang Yulou, which shows how much attention is paid to him.
Two reporters came to interview, one was in his forties and almost fifty years old, and the other was a young girl who had just graduated from college.
It belongs to the old with the new.
For this interview, the little girl was excited, and along the way, she either asked questions in front of the master, or held the book "Yanhe", and recited "Mountain Trees" and "Ten Commandments Poems" with deep affection.
The mountains along the road are stacked, and the smoke and rain are misty. Sitting in the car, the old reporter Nie Xin looked at his apprentice Chen Bingqing with emotion.
He has a feeling that he can't keep up with the times, and his poems, which he thinks are very ordinary, are very popular all over the country.
If ordinary people like it, it's fine, but even a reporter who graduated from a prestigious school like Chen Bingqing loves him deeply, so he doesn't understand.
Moreover, what makes him blush is that even his own daughter likes 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 distance was far away, so he asked his doubts: "Bingqing, these two songs...... Are love poems really that good? I see you've memorized all the way, and you're still holding the book. ”
Chen Bingqing put down the magazine in his hand and replied: "Teacher Nie, don't underestimate these two poems, listen to my younger brothers and sisters say that in college, these two poems are better than Xu Zhimo and Ai Qing's." If compared with ancient poets and lyricists, Comrade Jiang Yulou is the modern Liu Sanchang, Su Dongpo. ”
Nie Xin was a little surprised, "This evaluation is too high, right?" ”
Chen Bingqing said: "A poem can make a reader remember it for a lifetime, this poet is good enough; A reader will never forget a poem, which shows that the charm of the poem is great enough. We all think that "Mountain Tree" and "Poems of the Ten Commandments" are such works. ”
"Don't look at me as if I've been reciting poems all the way, but I'm not. The first time I read these two poems, I had them all in my head. The reason why I kept reading and reciting it on the road was just to experience the charm of the poem and to imprint the poem firmly in my mind. ”
Chen Bingqing's evaluation is not high, although Nie Xin still has reservations, he is even more curious about Jiang Yulou.
He sometimes imagines the appearance of that young man, a literati with a face like a crown of jade, deep eyes, and dancing and writing.
If it weren't for that, he couldn't think of any kind of teenager who could write such love poems.
Therefore, he also thought of another problem, art needs fine products, readers only recognize fine products, and history only records fine products.
Poetry is such an art that records only the finest.
Su Dongpo is famous enough, some scholars have studied that he has written more than 1,700 political papers and more than 4,800 essays in his life, but if you want readers to give examples, the first thing that comes to mind is "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia".
There are 300 Tang poems, and ordinary people can't remember all the authors, and they can't remember 300 poems. But there is one person in it, and there is only one poem, which is Zhang Ruoxu and his "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night". The lonely article presses the whole Tang, and no one knows.
Precisely:
Searching the intestines and scraping the belly frowned, scrutinizing and twisting the mustache all over the ground,
Heaven advises you to be heavy, and you only need one good poem.
It's just that Jiang Yulou will be such a poet?
It wasn't until Nie Xin saw Jiang Yulou with his own eyes that he suddenly overturned the impression of a feudal literati in his heart.
The first impression of the young man is not very old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is not described by the flowery rhetoric, but a kind of simplicity.
It's very spiritual, it's very simple, but it's not like a literati, it's like a ...... Farmer?
The peasants he was thinking of were not derogatory, he had met many educated youths, literary youths, writers and poets, as well as ordinary citizens. Jiang Yulou's dress is decent, and his spirit is not sluggish, but he feels simple when he looks at it.
Therefore, his first thought was how such a young man could write a love poem that was loved by young people all over the country.
The second thought was that perhaps only such a young man could write such a expressive love poem.
Unlike Nie Xin, Chen Bingqing fell in love with this younger brother who was a few years younger than her at the first sight when she saw Jiang Yulou.
He may not be handsome enough, but he can be called handsome. The gestures may not be personable, but they are also calm.
The big man of nearly 1.8 meters in the capital is also extremely outstanding, especially eye-catching is his eyes.
Thick eyebrows and big eyes?
It's a depth full of wisdom!
Talking and laughing, it gives her the feeling of neither being humble nor arrogant, advancing and retreating freely, and she will not fake flattery just because the two are from "Human Day".
After Chen Bingqing learned that he had also written a short story, which had been included in the literary magazine "Contemporary" and would be published in July this year, the image in her heart was even fuller.
After introducing each other to each other, the interview officially began.
It was Nie Xin who asked the question, and it was Chen Bingqing who took the pen to record.
Nie Xin first asked: "Comrade Jiang Yulou, I'll trust you to call you Yulou?" ”
"Yes, you can call me Yulou." Jiang Yulou nodded.
Nie Xin laughed and said, "Yulou, how did you embark on the road of literary creation?" ”
He was already thinking in his heart that the answer was either that he loved literature or that he was influenced by his teacher.
However, I didn't expect Jiang Yulou's answer to be so unexpected.
Jiang Yulou didn't put gold on his face, but replied honestly: "Because of poverty." ”
"What?" Nie Xin looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.
Not only him, but even Chen Bingqing stopped the hand that was recording, and looked at Jiang Yulou with surprise in his eyes.
The principal was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, really, how could classmate Jiang answer like that.
This is going to be on "Human Day", this answer is not correct enough!
Jiang Yulou smiled innocently and explained: "No way, my family is too poor, and I can't afford to study by relying on my parents and brother to farm." ”
So, he described to the few people present how hard his family and himself had lived before getting paid.
"At that time, my family still owed foreign debts, and I ate the cheapest dish at noon every day at school, and I didn't see meat for a month, even the steamed buns were black steamed buns, let alone white flour steamed buns."
"Coincidentally, one day I saw the essay for "Contemporary", and I thought about trying it, but I didn't expect it to happen. Relying on that remuneration, my family's life has been much better, and it has also strengthened my determination to engage in creation. ”
Nie Xin didn't expect this little writer to have such a hard time, and at the same time understood why he felt that the other party was a farmer at first sight, and his intuition was right.
At the same time, he really admired the young man in front of him.
In such a difficult environment, it is really not easy to create, and it is even more difficult for the work to be published.
