The theme of this literary activity tonight is "When Guitar Meets Poetry", and the organizers are local avant-garde poet and painter Xing Hao and Jincheng Guitar Association. A week ago, I saw the notice of this activity in a group. I saw the content recited in it, so I added teacher Xing Hao's WeChat according to the contact information in the notice. He gave me a poem, Snow on the Wall by the poet Shen Haobo. Teacher Xing Hao gave me a brief introduction of Shen Haobo and asked me to leave my name, saying that I would give it to the program. After a day or two, he asked me to send him the voice of the poem. As far as I know, it's for the guitarist's music. According to my own understanding, I read it several times and chose two books to give to Teacher Xing.
Tonight is a real live performance. There were not many people when I went. I met Mr. Xing Hao, said hello to him, and sat down to chat. It was then that I began to pay attention to the scene environment. Small space filled with tables and chairs; The table is full of colorful fruits, snacks and red wine; The stage is full of musical instruments: guitar, tambourine, etc. Two guitarists fiddled with slow music at will.
People come in one after another, mostly unfamiliar faces, but I know there are reciting lovers and poets, and they all have their own skills.
When people were almost there, Mr. Xing Hao began to host the event, which officially kicked off in a rock song "Stumbling".
Since then, Mr. Xing Hao has introduced poets to every newspaper program, so I know some people, such as poets, manager Zhang of the group, vice president of radio and television (the title may be wrong), editor-in-chief of the newspaper and so on. I also know the poetic style of these poets, some of whom are avant-garde poets with high morale; Some are fairy tale poets who weave love and beauty, giving people warmth; Some are good at writing about family, and ordinary family life is written in plain language, which makes people feel more cordial; ……
Among them, the deputy general manager of Credit Suisse is particularly impressive. He is the sponsor of this activity, and he takes all the red wine. At the same time, he is also a versatile musician. I feel that he is 50 or 60 years old, but his personality is particularly bold. He has a good eloquence and clinks glasses with everyone every once in a while, which is very infectious. He performed the most programs, improvising Mr. Xing Hao's poems, which was full of fun. Reciting your own poems is straightforward and natural; Erhu and guitar ensemble "Horse Racing" is very skillful. Every program attracted constant applause from the audience.
Guitarist Liu Xing's playing and singing also aroused the enthusiasm of the audience. A song "Persistence" and a song "Girl in the Flower Room", sung by one person and sung by many people, really reminded many people of their memories, and the scene was really amazing.
What impressed me the most should still be his own poem "The Gunner" recited by Xing Hao, the protagonist today. Poetry itself reflects many ugly phenomena in society through the poet's own experience of being a gunman, which can especially arouse people's * * *. The poet's recitation is more hoarse, especially at the end of the sentence that was repeated three times. The poet tried his best on the stage, bent down and clenched his fist, and his expression was full of endless resentment and spit. The shouts almost shattered this narrow space. But the poet's attitude seems to have a banter, so his mood is very comedy. Everyone in the audience was infected by his performance, and even the editorial poetess who had been sitting quietly opposite me couldn't help laughing. This is really a pure person, a free and easy person! I am greatly infected!
At the end of the activity, almost all the people who attended the recitation, the poet Xing Hao, presented a painting. His paintings, like his poems, are both non-mainstream and abstract. Fortunately, it is only when he explains them that we understand them. I got a picture of a bull, which I thought was very energetic, but the poet said it was a bit erotic, and I didn't see it.
This is the warmest and most beautiful activity I have ever participated in.
