Unlike the previous two issues, which used poetry to compose music and borrowed lyrics, the third competition required contestants to create works with the theme of "youth" for the first time, and performed them in the form of a combination of poets reading on the stage and singers singing. The program was about to be recorded, but an accident happened. Ding Yu, the poet's afternoon companion, suddenly lost contact. The program group failed to contact him through various channels and ways, while other contestants have already finished their own works. Until the guests, audience and staff were all in place, I was still alone in the afternoon. Without a complete competition plan, it means that it is likely to be forced out. At this time, in the afternoon, the director group was asked to go to the stage alone to recite. That night, in the afternoon, wearing fiery red jumpsuits and pleated skirts, coupled with her iconic cool and handsome "dirty braids", a fiery and unruly youth came to my face. When she finished reciting the poem "No grass will be sad because it can't bloom" with deep affection, all the players, guests and audience were shocked when the host came to the stage to end this one-person competition. After learning that Ding Yu, the partner, had lost contact unexpectedly, Xu Tao, the guest teacher, asked to be the partner in the afternoon on the spot and recited the afternoon poem for the audience again in her own way, which moved the audience to warm applause. The famous guest poet Shang Zhen also praised Afternoon as a real poet. "The real poet is not sentimental, but sees good and draws his sword when he sees evil. Teacher Xu Tao saw this brave act in the afternoon and expressed his kindness. Teacher Xu Tao is also a real poet. "
This touching scene made many contestants sigh. Liang Mang, who is also a poet, praised: "The song is not there, but the poem is still there." Singer Ceng Jingmin also said, "I hope that no poet will encounter such a situation again. If there is an opportunity, I want to sing the teacher's poem in the afternoon. " By the time the program aired, Weibo and the program group also received enthusiastic encouragement from netizens in the afternoon. Everyone expressed their love for the afternoon and praised the respect for the stage and poetry in the afternoon. What is even more surprising is that when the results of the competition were announced, it was not eliminated in the afternoon, but won the fourth place in the voting. Netizens can't help but worry: "Why is there only one person left in the afternoon? Is she going to sing solo in the end? "
From the first broadcast of The King of Poetry to the afternoon, everyone's understanding of the inherent image of a poetess was broken by a cool and handsome appearance. However, her love experience of giving up studying abroad for love is enviable, and she is also moved by tradition. The delicate and profound lyrics have also gained many fans.
