Many years ago

You are picked up from the beach

A beautiful shell

Your thoughts

On the other side of the sea

The constellation that makes up the shining

You see the sails coming and going

You listen to the ebb and flow of the tide

Many years later

The shell became a fossil

The stars have lost their color

The beach was empty

The heart, finally lonely again

The author's testimonial that "what is poetic is beautiful" – I have forgotten what any philosopher in the world said. Perhaps because of this, among the various types of writing, the first thing I practiced trying to write was poetry.

What a wonderful and peculiar world that is! It consists of words and sentences, rhythm and rhythm, passion and imagination. It is the world of unique charm that makes young people mature, old people young, prowlers gain strength, and victors humble...

In the 1980s and 1990s, I continued to write a poem every day for several years. In many cases, I don't draft it in one go, and I think of it as a way to exercise my brain thinking. My poems were all written at that time.

That era was the era of burning passion, the era of dreams, and the era of newborn calves not being afraid of tigers. To put it weakly, looking back after a few decades, I myself think that some of those poems are still passable. At that time of vitality, the whole thought was to get ahead, the whole thought was to become famous and start a family, and the other thought was "who in the world does not know the king", for this reason, someone is very hard.

One summer evening, while swimming by the Ganjiang River in Xiashawo, Nanchang City, I sat on the edge of the beach and wrote a poem entitled "I am waiting for a person", which is still widely acclaimed to this day. One day in a certain month of the last century, when I was playing in Yushan Park in Fuzhou, when I was tired of walking, I sat on a chair while resting, while casually picking up a piece of paper next to the chair and writing a song "Say It". One day many years later, a friend emotionally told me in WeChat that it was such a small poem that gave him the confidence to go on and swept away the haze in his heart, which also made me have a great sense of accomplishment. In 1981, when I went to Kunming alone, I had to take a train for a few days, and my legs were swollen when I got off the train. Sitting on the fast and crowded train, he also wrote several poems in one breath, such as "Your Pair of Shining Lanterns" and "Hair Spread by the Wind" and so on. I often participate in some meetings that taste like chewing wax, and I will take advantage of the inattention of others to keep smearing on the paper. During the four years of college, I was a day student, living in a family area not far from the school's teaching area, and I had to make a briquette stove and wash vegetables and cook. So I put a small book or piece of paper on the edge of the stove, while working, thinking about what kind of mood, what image and other things, once I have a good idea and sentences, I will immediately write them down on the paper, and many poems are written in this way.

Poetry and beauty are closely linked. In that vast soil, I worked hard, sowed seeds, and of course continued to harvest and enjoy. For example, I was one of the first authors in Jiangxi to publish works in the "Poetry Journal", and in that fiery and unforgettable era, the status of the "Poetry Journal" was very lofty, and it was very difficult to publish works on it.

Looking back now and thinking about it carefully, it cannot be said that it is "full of absurd words and a handful of bitter tears", but it is not "all cloud authors are stupid, who understands the taste", then it is not accurate.

But our great Mr. Zola said very early, very early on: "Poetry is great, and there is liberation only in poetry." ”
