A poet who writes poems for ordinary people.

I met Mr. Hongbo in a poetry salon in the summer of 2006. Salon was initiated by Wang Yun, editor of the supplement of Huaihai Evening News. According to Wang Yun, Hongbo is a police officer. He is busy with official business every day, but he always takes time out, insists on amateur creation and publishes many works. As a policeman, Hongbo is not tall and mighty. In my feeling, he is as simple and honest as a farmer and as simple as dirt. According to Wang Yun, Hongbo is good at solving crimes. He used the simplicity of peasant children to show his feelings to prisoners and make them feel something. After such a trial, he can easily solve difficult cases. I have read many of Hongbo's poems and think his poems are as simple and realistic as his people. As he himself said: "The real life of ordinary people will construct the basic content of my poetry. It's just that these contents are expressed through true feelings. True feelings are a process from quantitative change to qualitative change: it is a warm current that poets gather in their hearts through long-term observation, thinking and understanding of ordinary people's lives, and finally in the form of feelings, feelings and feelings. True feelings contain the author's own spiritual thoughts and temperament. True feelings, only unique, can show value. True feelings are the fresh shower of poetry. Don't worry that the true feelings gained from ordinary people's lives lack the times, generality and authenticity, because their true feelings are a sublimation of ordinary people's lives. " Hongbo not only said this, but also practiced it.

Mrding

Mrding is a man.

Eat a person.

People whose families are not hungry.

People usually call him Mrding.

Sometimes people

Joke, call him Ding Ju.

I ate with him in a pot for six or seven years.

I didn't expect to ask his name.

His main job

Is every day

Make tea for the bureau

Then give it to the leaders of the bureaus.

Bring water and newspaper.

And do a good job of corridor cleaning.

When the FBI encounters sporadic incidents,

Tell him to handle it.

Usually Mrding.

Always carrying a big key.

Leading office

Only he can get in and out.

On New Year's Day or Mid-Autumn Festival

He often helps people carry things.

Sometimes in the middle of the night, in our case,

Need to stamp

Knock on his dormitory, too

Mrding to the sub-bureau

Time as a temporary worker

About the size of a sub-bureau

The branch has only been established for more than 20 years.

But Mrding is sixty years old.

I asked him if he had resigned.

Where will you live in the future?

Mrding fiddled with most of it.

The key in your hand

Can't find his own.

Hongbo is a poet who loves life. His poems are always permeated with love and hate for life, concern for people and things around him, and feelings about the years. On the surface, the poem "Mrding" looks like a casual poet. Everything seems casual, but in essence, the poet takes great pains. At the beginning, the poet wrote: "Mrding is a well-fed person/the whole family is not hungry/everyone usually calls him Mrding/sometimes someone jokingly calls him Ding Ju/I had dinner with him for six or seven years/I didn't expect to ask his name". A few short lines of poetry capture Mrding's personality. Then, through Mrding's daily trivia, the poet wrote the image of Mrding, a seemingly dispensable person in the unit, but actually inseparable from him. At the end, "I asked him if he would resign/where he would live in the future/Mrding fiddled with his keys for a long time/couldn't find one of his own". This is a detail, describing Mrding's inner pain, expressing the poet's concern for the bottom people, his pity, sadness and humanitarian concern for the fate of the little people, deepening the theme and making people think deeply.

stepmother

Hold your fingers and count.

You were with your father.

It's been eleven years.

Because we're separated from mom.

So every time I see you,

Call you.

aunt

Ever since you became

A member of our family.

We people.

Children away from home

You don't have to worry every day.

I'll take her place after mom leaves.

remain; stay

So many blanks

Go home every year.

I want both.

Bring you a coat.

Become a villager

Put on your new clothes. Bye.

You will ask

Who bought it for you?

You always say with a smile

It's a son

Although the stepmother written by the poet is not the real mother, blood is thicker than water. This reminds people of Meng Jiao's Ode to a Wanderer in the Tang Dynasty: "The thread in the hands of a loving mother makes clothes for the wayward child's body. Before leaving, I had a stitch for fear that my son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged. However, an inch of long grass is a bit sentimental, and it is rewarded with three spring rays. " People can't help but think of the Tenth Five-Year Plan written by the Song Dynasty poet Wang Anshi: "Put your mother in the ditch and leave your family in the shade." When I heard about Du Yu in the moonlight, I was always worried about the North and the South. "

This poem by Hongbo takes emotion as a clue and adopts the writing method of inhibition and promotion. First, I wrote "Because we are separated from our mother, I just call you/auntie every time I see you", then I wrote "We/children away from home/don't have to worry about/fill so many gaps left by my mother's departure every day", and finally I wrote "When villagers/see you put them on"

Motherly love is linked by blood; Motherly love is a child's eternal concern. In this age of apathy and emotional decline, reading such poems is an invisible medicine for an increasingly numb and heartless mind.

Uncle's funeral

My second uncle died.

The family cried into tears.

Become friends and relatives

When he was put in the coffin,

Think seriously

Who should I ask to carry it?

Search all corners of the village

Finally, filter it out

Some of the youngest men

At first glance, my hair is all gray.

Is there any way?

A few people had to bite the bullet.

Accept an invitation

But we're not halfway there yet

One by one, like cooked lobsters.

I can't stand up anymore.

The funeral procession suddenly

Very confused

Some people look at the sky.

Some look at the ground.

An old man comes from a neighboring village.

Drag two or three.

A young man who just got back from work.

Finally solved the problem.

done

brick by brick

Until the sun goes down

Just take my second uncle

Slowly put it in the grave.

So much has happened.

My second uncle sleeps in a coffin.

know nothing at all

Poetry is valuable in discovery. It can be said that without discovery, it is impossible to write a good poem.

According to the poet, this is a real opportunity for him to return to his hometown. It was an afternoon when the poet went back to his hometown on business but met his uncle's funeral. In the past, all the people in the village who met the dead and carried coffins were young and strong, and they were on call. It's different now. "I searched every corner of the village/finally screened out/several of the youngest men/saw that their hair was gray/what could I do/several people had to bite the bullet/accepted the invitation/but they were not halfway there/they were like cooked lobsters/they couldn't stand up anymore" "The funeral procession was in chaos/some looked up at the sky/some looked up at the ground/an old man dragged two or three from the neighboring village/.

quiet

After the meal

Adults will blow out the lights.

So darkness

It soon occupied all the space.

I had to run.

On the bed under the Ailanthus altissima tree

Lie down and count the stars.

Sometimes fireflies pass by.

Just get out of bed and chase.

And catch fireflies

Put it in the bottle.

At this moment

There are continuous flutes.

Floating down from the top of the mountain

I'll throw away the bottle at once.

Quietly let

Those notes are like springs.

Slowly bypass the ear

Flowing into my thirsty heart

There seems to be something in my chest.

Countless greedy mouths

Inhale zizi.

I asked my mother.

Who plays the flute?

She said it was the sixth child of the thirteenth team.

It is said that he is lovelorn.

He goes to Dongshantou every night.

Blow for a long time

I don't know that woman.

Can you hear me?

At that time, I

I still don't understand.

The meaning in the flute

I don't understand what my mother said.

But I always had an idea.

It is along the mountain road behind the village.

Climb to his side

Look at the way he plays the flute.

Hongbo's poems are very realistic and don't pay much attention to the integration of feelings into the scenery. The flute is an exception.

On summer nights, I ran to the bed under the Ailanthus altissima tree/lay down to count the stars/sometimes fireflies passed by/got out of bed to chase/put the caught fireflies in the bottle. From the beginning, the poet created a beautiful country night for me with a soothing style, creating or setting off an environment and atmosphere for the flute and the fate of the characters. Through such an environment, the poet naturally led the "flute" down from the top of the mountain, "bypassing my ears and slowly/flowing into my thirsty heart/chest, as if there were/countless greedy mouths/sucking". Then the poet asked his mother who played the flute. Naturally, it leads to the sad love between the piper and the piper.

Especially at the end of the poem, "But I have always had an idea/climb up to him along the mountain road behind the village/see how he plays the flute", which gives people endless reverie and aftertaste. As Yan Yu said in Cang Hua: "The antelope hangs on the horn and there is no trace to be found. Therefore, its beauty, transparency and exquisiteness cannot be mentioned in the same breath. Such as the voice in the air, the color in the phase, the shadow in the water, and the image in the mirror, there are endless words and meanings. " (Wang Guowei's "Words on Earth")
