Che's controversial works are mainly vernacular poems, such as Xu Fan. In Xu Fan, he wrote: "The beauty of Xu Fan is the beauty of a pure woman/I have always wanted to see her/I have never realized my wish/In fact, when I was a child, I lived very close to her/separated by a wall/her family lived in Xishang Racecourse/my family lived here/later she became popular/sang with her husband/made many well-received and blockbuster movies ..." This poem was dubbed by netizens.
Other works with similar styles include Liu Yifei and Xie Fang. Netizens nicknamed the above works "Lamb Body" (homonym of car name) and scrambled to copy them.
In response to the questioning voice on the Internet, Che Gao Yan said in an interview with the media that "Xu Fan" is an attempt of his own, striving for zero lyricism and no personal feelings. "I don't object to questioning and criticism, but this is a misunderstanding. Weibo can only send more than 100 words, and the poems in the post are only 1/4 sentences of the original text. A poem can't reflect my style, especially a poem with only one head. I hope that criticism can be more accurate. "
Che said that his series of poems, such as Xu Fan, are just an attempt of a new writing technique. I wanted to write something closer to the people and more colloquial. Let the elderly and teenagers understand that most of their poems are not in this style.
Chen Qirong, secretary of the Secretariat of the Chinese Writers Association and spokesperson, explained that works such as Xu Fan, which caused controversy among netizens, were not included in Yearning for Warmth. Moreover, it is difficult to see the author's style and level from only one poem and one work. I suggest you look at his poems included in Yearning for Warmth, and most of them can still meet the selection criteria of Lu Prize.
Some commentators pointed out that the booing and teasing of netizens is not only based on common sense suspicion, but also a kind of entertainment and onlookers. What's the level of Che Gao Yan's poetry? On the contrary, few people have studied it seriously.
