To tell the truth, although it was invited by Li Yuanshan, president of China Poetry Society, I really hesitated for several days at first. When teacher Yuanshan called for the second time, I said, "I'm afraid my low back pain can't stand it." In fact, I have been constipated for several months. "Then you can buy a berth ticket!"
I admire Mr. Yuanshan very much. He has been very important in my heart since I met him for five or six years. He holds many titles, such as: President of China Metric Poetry Promotion Society, Researcher of Beijing Normal University, the State Council State Guest Etiquette Artist, etc. He is only half a century old, full of energy and excellent products. I am embarrassed not to accept his invitation. I boarded the northbound train on April 27th, and arrived at Beijing West Railway Station on April 28th 12: 15, 22 hours later. I got out of the West Railway Station, took Metro Line 7 and then transferred to Line 5, and finally arrived at the Yellow River Kyoto Convention Center in Beijing Shenghai Cultural Industrial Park. Under the personal instructions of Dean Yuanshan, the conference newspaper arranged accommodation for me without asking me to pay any fees (this is a five-star hotel). In just two days of meetings, time was squeezed out. Especially on the evening of 29th, the author recited poems and performed songs, dances and operas until after midnight. I was really sleepy, so I had to leave the meeting with Su Qinghua and Hou Yajun early.
I think there are three points worthy of praise in this national poetry awards conference. First, the person in charge of the meeting has a higher position. There are Yang Zhengquan, former vice minister of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China and former deputy director of the State Council Information Office, Sun, president of China University of Political Science and Law, Zhao Nanming, president of Tsinghua University, He Daoquan, and many other major generals and lieutenants, as well as Song Jun, a researcher at the Space Flight Control Center who sent astronauts into the sky ... Second, the award procedure is serious and fair. The works of the organizing Committee staff did not participate in the selection, but won by the quality of poetry. The works of generals, farmers, workers and wage earners all won the third prize. This national essay * * * received more than 3000 poems/kloc-0, and selected more than 60 works such as first, second and third prizes and innovation prizes. I only started to learn classical poetry last year, and I am honored to be squeezed into the second prize this time. However, I still think that if there are 10 first prize winners instead of four, maybe my work will be in by going up one flight of stairs. Of course, it's just my complacency or arrogance. I have only studied classical poetry for one year, so it would be nice to win the prize. How dare you brag! Third, there was no banquet in the whole meeting, and three meals a day were buffets. I eat more vegetables and fruits, eat raw and cooked ones desperately, and even eat my long-term constipation.
This time, I still have income in private. When I came to the stage to receive the prize, I handed a note to the old minister Wang Weihua, asking him to point out a way out for my long documentary literature "A Mandarin Duck in a Red Capital-What does Mao Zetan mean to have a soul to return". The leader in the background of the meeting left, and so did my questions. I left the meeting discontentedly. Suddenly, my cell phone rang. It turned out that the old minister of Wang Weihua wanted to talk to me directly. Hi, Minister Wang Lao didn't directly open the channel for "Mandarin Duck in the Red Capital", but he has done his most sincere duty. I admire him very much!
Beijing has brought me closer. ...
