During this year's Shenzhen Reading Month, many love meetings were held in the poetry circle of Shenzhen Central Book City. The guest of CCTV's Lecture Room, Ma Ruifang Futian Library, gave a lecture, and the main meeting was held at the premiere of 1942 in the coastal cinema ... A post-90 s boy with black-rimmed glasses frequently appeared to speak, attracting everyone's attention. The most surprising thing is that this post-90s boy later appeared in the news of Shenzhen Satellite TV and the program "Chief Nighttalk" hosted by CCTV Sa Beining. Dialogue with Mai Jia, a famous writer and winner of Mao Dun Literature Prize. As soon as the program started, it attracted the attention of the national audience and shocked the Shenzhen poetry circle.
Who is this post-90 s boy? After the program was broadcast, the reporter found Mao Zhigang, the representative of the post-90 s poet. Mao Zhigang said that he insisted on writing because he wanted to convey "positive energy" to the whole society through his own words.
After dropping out of school, he went to Shenzhen to pursue his dream.
Mao Zhigang, 2 1 year-old, was born in a small town in Baoding, Hebei. According to him, he has a literary talent since he was a child. When he 10 years old, he will write quatrains. He can blurt out a poem when others point at anything casually, which is called "genius" by the headmaster. Mao Zhigang told reporters that he is not a scholarly family, and his parents are honest farmers and have no culture.
But Mao Zhigang had a dream since he was a child, that is, to be a writer and a poet. He often says to people: "I want to change people's spirit with words!" " "
Mao Zhigang said that when he was in high school, his Chinese performance was among the best in his class, and his composition often got full marks, which attracted the envy of many students, but other subjects were hung with red lights. The head teacher found a conversation and told him not to be so partial, but Mao Zhigang, who loves literature, was really uninterested in other subjects. Mao Zhigang, who likes writing, has no choice but to drop out of school. Just after the New Year in 2009, Mao Zhigang came to Shenzhen alone and wanted to realize his life dream in this hot land of Shenzhen.
Xiao Baoan became an editor.
After coming to Shenzhen, the uncle who developed the gallery wanted Mao Zhigang to learn how to get a haircut. In fact, this is also the opinion of Mao Zhigang's parents, because both parents and uncles think that he is uneducated and haircut is a craft job. With a skill, you don't have to worry about your livelihood in the future.
However, Mao Zhigang thinks that the barber shop environment is not suitable for him. He needs a quiet environment, where he can study writing and concentrate on reading other people's works. After much consideration, Mao Zhigang became a security guard in a community.
After being a security guard, Mao Zhigang studied in his spare time. He bought a lot of books to make up for it, and at the same time asked people who were more knowledgeable than him. In Mao Zhigang's words, at that time, in addition to eating at work, he was eager to learn. Zhaowei, a security guard with him, told reporters that when he was a security guard, Mao Zhigang's bed was full of books, and his monthly salary was basically used to buy books.
Zhaowei said that after work, his colleagues were busy with leisure and entertainment, and he was the only one in the dormitory who didn't want to come out. Someone asked him why he likes reading so much. He replied that he wanted to be a poet. Mao zhigang's answers often attract the ridicule of his colleagues. Mao zhigang didn't care, and continued to bury himself in reading and write silently. In just one year, Mao Zhigang created a lot of poems and accumulated a lot of writing materials. Someone did the math for him. This year, he read 100 more than China novels, foreign novels, China poems and foreign poems. It laid a good foundation for his future creation.
20 10 On August 8th, Mao Zhigang published his first poem in Shenzhen Poets. After seeing his work published, he was very excited, told everyone and invited his colleagues to have dinner to celebrate.
