On the evening of December 18, at the opening ceremony of "Li Bai and Du Fu in World Time - 2021 • The Fifth Chengdu International Poetry Week", Ji Di Majia, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, coordinator of the Coordinating Committee of the World Poetry Movement (WPA) and famous poet Ji Di Majia, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech.
In his speech, Ji Di Maga interpreted the theme of this year's Poetry Week - Li Bai and Du Fu in world time. "Li Bai and Du Fu are poets above time. For us, the works of Li Bai and Du Fu have been classicized. Although it has been a long time since their physical bodies left us, at the same time their spirits are alive in the present. All the great poets who have created spiritual wealth in history have become our spiritually enlightened beings, living forever in the present. ”
Jidimaga said that he is very grateful for the strong support of Chengdu International Poetry Week, "because this support gives so many of our poets the opportunity to get together, break down barriers, and give our hearts the opportunity to travel freely in this world." I think it was poetry that gave wings to our spiritual journey. Due to the epidemic, there are still many poets who can't come to the scene, but their spirit, their poetry is actually with us. ”
Jidimaga believes that poetry will always live in this world, "I believe that as long as there is human existence, poetry as an art form, as a mysterious language for us humans to express the spiritual world and communicate with the outside, will surely accompany our spiritual creation and be passed down from generation to generation." At the same time, I also believe that the works of poets of every era will stand the test of time. Only time can select truly excellent works and tell us what a great spiritual heritage is. ”
