City Times reporter Xu Zhaoquan interviewed Hainan.
1. First of all, congratulations to Mr. Hai Nan. Recently, your poem "Looking for the Source of Jinsha River, the Source of Yangtze River" won the second prize of "Ode to the Yangtze River" National Poetry Competition. Can you tell me the origin of your poem? Does it have much to do with your hometown near Jinsha River?
Hainan: My hometown is Shiping County, Honghe Prefecture, but I was born and raised in western Yunnan. The endless western Yunnan is the cradle that nourishes my soul. When I was four or five years old, the Jinsha River appeared in the May 7th Cadre School where my parents went to reform through labor-it was a hill beside the Jinsha River. The world in which we play is a river bank with a heat wave. Many people are naked looking for gold on the ankle-high riverbank, while we are sitting on the light brown riverbank playing with sand. Sometimes I get on a wooden boat and buy a bowl of ice powder in Taoyuan Town on the other side of the river. This is the first time I saw the Jinsha River, and then I experienced the grand and tragic Grand Canyon in Diqing Prefecture and Lijiang Valley. Jinsha River is the first big river I saw after I was born. It has mysterious power, and it is this river that makes me see the Da Nu River and Lancang River where the gods come and go.
