Pray for Zeng (reporter, now living in Shenzhen)
Yan 'an, I am looking for you is a poem I wrote eight years ago, but I didn't expect it to be selected into the new 12 Chinese textbook compiled by People's Education Publishing House. Recalling the writing process of this poem, my heart once again surges with burning passion and heavy thinking. From 65438 to 0968, he graduated from Chinese Department of Peking University and was assigned to work in Shaanxi. I have visited and interviewed Yan 'an many times. At that time, it was a period of ten years of turmoil, and the face of Yan' an changed little. 1974 I went to Yan' an for an interview, and the people there were still poor, which made me very sad. After returning, write a poem "Yan 'an, I cry for you" and keep it in my diary. After the downfall of the Gang of Four and the reform and opening up, the face of Yan 'an has undergone earth-shaking changes. The people of Yan 'an lost their old cows and broken cars and connected them to planes and trains. Cave dwellings have become high-rise buildings, and people are getting richer and richer. 199 1 From time to time, I went to Yan 'an with the creative team of CCTV's Yellow River, visited Zaoyuan, Yang Jialing, Baota shan, Nanniwan and other places, fantasizing and imagining ... I saw the head of Nanniwan that year and cultivated the beautiful southern part of northern Shaanxi in the mass production movement; I looked at the clear flowing water of Yanhe River, which gave birth to the most outstanding and conscious pioneers of countless Chinese nations. I smell the fragrance of pear flowers in Zaoyuan, where Chairman Mao wrote the revolutionary epic in history. Walking into the auditorium of Yang Jialing "Lu Yi", Mao Zedong's "Speech at Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art" echoed around me again. Following the footsteps of our revolutionary predecessors, I feel that today's happy life is hard to come by.
Yan 'an spirit cultivated by the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries is the revolutionary heirloom and precious spiritual wealth of China people. Nowadays, the times have developed and life has become rich, but the Yan 'an spirit of hard work and entrepreneurship cannot be lost. Yan 'an spirit not only embodies party member's noble qualities and lofty ideals, but also embodies the traditional virtues and heroism of the Chinese nation. In the process of building a socialist modern power, we should carry forward the Yan 'an spirit and improve the quality of spiritual life while improving the material living standards.
Based on this understanding, I began to conceive and create the poem "Yan 'an, I pursue you".
After the poem was written, it was included in my collection of poems "Love in Life" (Shaanxi People's Publishing House) from 65438 to 0992, which was well received by literary circles and readers. Commentator Ma Yingbo wrote: "This poem eulogizes Yan 'an spirit with high passion and vivid image, and emphasizes the extreme importance of inheriting and carrying forward Yan 'an spirit under the conditions of reform and opening up." This poem won 1993 "Chrysanthemum Award", and 1994 was selected in "Selected Poems in the New Period". /kloc-0 was selected as a five-year Chinese textbook 10 in 1997, and then selected as a six-year Chinese textbook 12.
1992, I came to Shenzhen. Although I have left the yellow land where I have lived and worked for more than 20 years, the Yanhe River in my heart flows forever, flows into my blood vessels and purifies my soul.
