In order to survive, Zheng Xiaoqiong has to work 12 hours a day. The intensity of labor with almost no rest days makes her almost indifferent to contact with the outside world. Her main pleasure is poetry creation, and she occasionally contributes to some newspapers and periodicals. One day, Xu Qiang, the editor-in-chief of "Selected Chinese Migrant Poems", was looking through the magazine "Entrepreneur" and saw a poem by Zheng Xiaoqiong, which shocked him. Xu Qiang feels that the unknown Zheng Xiaoqiong is a very potential poetry creator. He believes that as long as she is given a platform to develop and practice, she will definitely add a strong and vivid touch to the migrant poetry literature. Therefore, Xu Qiang contacted Zheng Xiaoqiong according to the address in the magazine, and published the long poem "Working, a Word of Vicissitudes" on the front page of the third issue of the "Migrant Poet Newspaper" sponsored by him. After this poem was published, many readers were impressed by Zheng Xiaoqiong's talent, and many editors and poetry friends took the initiative to contact her for communication. Zhang Qinghua, the editor of "21st Century Literature Department Poetry Volume", professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Liberal Arts of Beijing Normal University, once wrote: "I read a large number of poems by a young man named Zheng Xiaoqiong about factory workers and personal life. , I have to say, they are very touching. I have selected five of her works at almost the maximum length. The sharpness of this working poet will put many poets who consider themselves professional and skilled to shame." p>
He commented on Zheng Xiaoqiong's "Complete Darkness": "Three fishes carry the dawn, poetry, and Qu Yuan's running/The symmetrical snow melts into Li Bai's bones along the wine of Chang'an/The Tang Sancai, Feitian, and Terracotta Warriors marching in formation / A man turned into dust holds a red prayer flag and gives a speech / Bodhidharma passed away, born with four images, Liuhe broke his arms / Death is another kind of awakening / The bird of time shakes off the emperor's feathers..." "How is this? In terms of realm and momentum, the whole poem is coherent and coherent, with no trace of superposition and patchwork. It can be said to be an overall overview of an era. It is very summary, tragic, spiritual depth and lyrical power. If you take into account her. Those lyrical short pieces arranged randomly, like sad nocturnes, Zheng Xiaoqiong can be called a real "rising star". The real life experience from the bottom has given her a solid confidence, vastness and ability to detail. The wind spirit, coupled with the natural recognition of the identity of the lower-class workers, make her works more grand, transcendent, simple and innocent.
