"Wang Shi" first aroused some repercussions among middle school students in Beijing, and circulated among students in the form of manuscripts. A female teacher informed her husband, who is the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, which aroused the commercial sensitivity of the publishing house and quickly contacted the author to publish her works. 1 April 20th, 990, Wang Guozhen's first book of poetry, Youth Tide, was submitted and published by Beijing Academy Press,1May 20th.
There was a "Wang Guozhen fever" after the publication of this collection of poems, and it was printed five times in a row during loading and unloading, with a print run of150,000 copies. Subsequently, he published poetry collections such as Youth Wind (Huacheng Publishing House, 1990, 10), Youth Thinking (up to the beginning of 199 1, printed three times140,000 copies) and Young Handsome.

1July 4, 990, his poetry anthology was listed as one of the top ten bestsellers by the press and publication, and it was the only one in literature and art.
There is an upsurge of Wang Guozhen's poetry lectures in universities in Beijing.
1990 is called "the year of Wang Guozhen" in the publishing industry.
In Shanghai, this craze came a little later. 1990 10 Shanghai Xujiahui Bookstore bought 20 books of Wang Guozhen's poetry anthology "Youth Thoughts", which was all the rage in Beijing, but sold out two months later. 199 1 In the spring of, Shanghai Literature Newspaper published a special article "The Conquest of Beauty Begins with a Draft" to report the situation of Wang Guozhen, which was the first time that he was completely introduced to Shanghai. In order to promote Wang Guozhen's Wang Zuo at the Wen Hui Book Fair, Wen Wei Po introduced and praised Wang Guozhen in Wen Hui Reading Weekly, calling Wang Guozhen "the prince in the poem", which triggered a public opinion offensive and led to the sales boom of Wang Shi at the Wenhui Book Fair on March 27th. 199 1.
Wang Guozhen's poems are positive in theme, high-spirited and detached. One of the characteristics of the work is to ask questions frequently, which is often encountered in everyone's life. The emphasis is on the practice of life, from which we can go deeper and come up with some philosophies that people all know. This quantitative philosophy is very suitable for the thinking characteristics of middle school students. Middle school students have little life experience and are often at a loss about the life problems they face. Wang Guozhen provides a way to solve life problems for middle school students in the form of poems, which is very fresh, simple and practical for these young children. For example, one of his poems "To Friends" wrote:
"Don't stand up.
To avoid falling.
more importantly
We are going to travel around the world.
This fall is a memorial.
Memorial is a warm flower. "
This poem is short and clear, which is very suitable for copying and giving. Even in reading, it is most suitable for the public to feel comfortable in small pieces and leisure time.
Another example is:
"There is not much distress.
It is that our minds are not open enough.
Not too little happiness.
It's that we don't know life yet.
Write a poem when you are sad.
When you are happy, sing a song.
No matter what falls from the sky
Life is always good. "
("Life is always good")
In Wang Guozhen's poems, there are not only young people's lives, but also expressions of understanding, and even more detached, open-minded, simple and indifferent attitudes towards life. This "Wang Guozhen-style attitude towards life", which stands at a higher level of life and overlooks everything in reality, is the reason why Wang Guozhen's poems are welcomed by young readers. The so-called attitude towards life is actually a creative transformation of China's open-minded, elegant, chic and detached life philosophy in traditional poems since the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
