The economy is running, and poetry is retreating!
This is the embarrassment faced by China's poetry and the reality that poets have to face: the circle of poetry is getting smaller and smaller. In a great era, there are no great poets, only the question that has been hovering in my mind for a long time-do people still need poetry?
This problem, like a stray dog, followed me all the way, from youth to middle age, from Jiangbei to Chonggang.
Back at Chongqing Iron and Steel Co., I sat in the front row of the "Second Steel Cup Poetry Reading Meeting of Chongqing Iron and Steel Co., Ltd." and immediately felt that I was sitting next to the poetry-Wang Qingshan, secretary of Chongqing Writers Association, president of the Municipal New Poetry Society, honorary chairman of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Xiong Zongmin, head of the Municipal Repertory Theatre, Wang Jianwu, head of the Municipal Recitation Art Troupe, and Lu, editor-in-chief and Wan Longsheng, deputy editor-in-chief of>, and Huang Xingbang. ...
In that case, if I saw them 20 years ago, my feet would tremble!
Now I sit quietly next to them and drink the mineral water presented by the meeting.
Chongqing Iron and Steel Company obviously attached great importance to this activity, and many heavyweights came. Pan Xiangyu, deputy secretary of the Party Committee, warmly shook hands with me, because I am a poet trained by Chongqing Steel. When I came back here, I felt that people and poetry were very close.
Apart from Chongqing Steel, I don't know if I can see such high esteem for poetry in other parts of China.
Will Heavy Duty be the Gospel of China Poetry?
At first, experts appeared in the recitation competition, which made us feel the long-lost artistic charm. Then, heavy steel players, mostly new faces, were moved by Chen's performance. On the way back, I mentioned Tang poetry five times, which bored Secretary-General Rui Chen who was driving. But I'm happier than Qian Qian who made a lot of money all the way.
Chairman Huang said in his speech: "When steel and poetry come together, I see the harmony between rigidity and softness. I hope that Chongqing's poetry will become a cultural brand in the future. "
Over the years, I have been running in a panic on the road of market economy, escaping from poetry; But when I returned to Chongqing Iron and Steel Company, I felt a thin and hard thread pulling me back.
I know that in the future, no matter where I am or where I fly, I will be a kite in the hands of poetry, which can pull me back from afar at any time!
