In my days in Beijing, I often miss you. Today the sky is blue and the sun is shining. The north wind fooled around for several days, and xu was tired of tossing and turning, and quietly went to sleep. I sat on the sun-drenched bay window and read the manuscript. For more than a year since I came to Beijing from home to exercise, this is the most beautiful moment in winter.

The warm and melting sun caressed me, and then caressed the manuscripts in my hands.

Page after page, page after page...

Lan Tian, Liu Junyao, Cheng Xinya, Ding Yuanrun...

"A Seed with a Dream", "I Want to Have a Pair of Wings", "Find the Stars"...

Children, on this sunny morning, I put my hand on the pages of text, gently read your names, and read your works one by one. This is the second time we have met in the literary garden of "Yunyang Literature And Good Youth", fifty-one children, and my always quiet cottage suddenly became lively. Your coming makes my hometown move.

Most of them were Yun Yang's children. Located in northwest Hubei, Yunyang is in the middle reaches of the Han River, close to the south of the Qinling Mountains, west of Daba Mountain, south of Wudang, gently surrounded by Han Shui, since ancient times to the present, the cultural vein is prosperous, like a long Song of Han Shui. I remember that seven years ago, a literary predecessor once said at a meeting: "We must cultivate the seedlings of literature well, and we must not just look forward to us, and when we look back in the future, there will be a literary desert behind us..." The main content of the meeting that day was later forgotten, but I remembered these words.

Looking around, with the development of the times and the diversity of cultures, the figures of the post-90s and post-00s in the literary team are indeed sparsely populated. How to cultivate the seedlings of literature, we must first discover and find them. So we started to launch the "Looking for Yunyang Little Writers" activity, went to the school to hold reading lectures for children, did writing tutoring, developed a campus literary club, and opened a column of "Yunyang Little Writers". Carefully care for every green lotus that only shows its sharp horns. Every time I see a good article by a child and discover a child with potential, the joy is really like a treasure.

A person's history of spiritual development and writing growth is his reading history. We have been thinking about a question, if "Looking for Yunyang Little Writer" is a small tree, how can we give this small tree fertile soil, suitable sunlight, air, rivers, and give it a climate and season that can thrive.

Since 2016, Yunyang has created a normalized "Yue Reading Yunyang" activity.

"The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country; the strength of the youth is the strength of the country, and the independence of the teenager is the independence of the country..." Starting from the sound of Reading the classics every day on campus, the fragrance of books overflows to more corners of Yuncheng - "Book Family", "Community Reading Station", "Mobile Library", "Reading Small Ledger", "I am the leading reader" and "Reading Sharing Meeting".

From the large-scale recitation party of nearly 2,000 people, to the centralized exhibition and performance of "Yue Reading Yunyang" participated by schools in the district, and then to the outdoor reading activities at the Han Riverside, in the park and in the fields, the form of "Yue Reading Yunyang" is flexible and rich, which is more and more loved by children and attracts more and more people to participate. When the whole society advocates reading, when parents go home and no longer brush their mobile phones all day long, but pick up books to read, the atmosphere and personal demonstration of teaching have become the best guides for cultivating children's reading habits.

22 April 2019 is the 24th World Book Day. We would like to invite Mr. Wang Zhaoqian, a famous writer and editor, to Yunyang to give a lecture on reading to the children of the Literary Society. Teacher Wang, who is more than 70 years old, listened to the reading lecture of the "Looking for Yunyang Little Writer" activity and promised: "No problem, I will go!" Your activities are meaningful. While I'm okay, I'm willing to talk to the kids more. ”

Teacher Wang came as promised, awarded medals to the "Chunsun Literature Club" of Yunyang Science and Technology School and the "Xiaohe Literature Club" of Yunyang District No. 2 Middle School, and also gave a literary lecture on "Reading Lights up the Future" to the children. Teacher Wang Zhaoqian has a rich education, he talks about how to read, read and write, read and live, and read and work from the impact of reading on a person, a city and a country. This rare literary activity must have sown the seeds of approaching literature in the hearts of many children.

Looking back, the exploration of those years is actually the process of fertile soil fertilization and seedling protection for "looking for Yunyang little writers". We sometimes forget to ask ourselves when we got on the road, how far we've come, and how long it will take to get there. It's just that there's a distant lighthouse out there, just going forward step by step, and sometimes even that lighthouse is forgotten to look at. Because there is no need to look, it is already hanging in the heart, and the more you close your eyes in this noisy world, the more you see that it is such a bright and shining existence.

This lamp of dreams can illuminate the direction and the way.

I remember that since the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school, I often ran to my grandfather's office to planing the newspaper pile, and then cut out all the favorite articles in those newspaper supplements, glued them to the books and treasured them and read them repeatedly. At that time, the supplement article of Yunxian Bao was the one I cut most often, and whenever I read those newspaper clippings over and over again, I felt particularly kind and excited when I thought that the people who wrote those beautiful words lived in Yunyang, and I felt very kind and excited in my heart.

Blue Cloud Army, Lan Shanqing, Zhao Tiankui, Zhao Jiucheng, Iceman... These names, those articles, were my earliest writing leaders and motivations. Later, when I was in junior high school, I also began to publish small works on it. Later, I met them one by one, and they became my teachers and friends. Many of our yunyang writers originally grew up from here.

In the past 7 years, the original intention is unforgettable. In the golden autumn of 2021, we opened up a literary works display garden for children "Yunyang Literature • Good Youth", on October 24, the launching ceremony of the event was held in Yunyang Yaxin Cinema, and the audience of 129,500 people on the live broadcast platform exceeded our imagination and gave us more confidence.

"Read It", "Masterpiece Stand", "Fairy Tale of the Child's Heart", "Poetry Chef", "Composition Exhibition", "Children's Literature", "Oxygen Bar of the Soul", "Jinshu Pavilion", "New Book BOX"... She closely combines literature and art with education, she originates from literature, and it is more distant than literature. From improving students' reading and writing skills, actively facing the new education reform, to Bacon casting the soul and cultivating people.

It's nice to have a few more Olympic champions, but it's even more important to improve the health of the population. So the "Looking for Yunyang Little Writer" campaign is a spark that hopes to ignite children's dreams of literary writing, but it is more important to lead more children to become a lifelong reader. It is also a window for children to see the wider world and the wider self.

After I sent the news of the second issue of the work on the WeChat public account of the Yunyang Writers Association, the WeChat prompt sound of the mobile phone rang non-stop, and one message after another bombarded over. Text, voice, pictures. Parents, teachers, students...

Teacher Li, since the last time our children published their own works, they have become more interested in reading and writing! I began to keep a diary every day, and I rarely played mobile games!

Another teacher told me: Our class's small super students, other subjects are excellent, that is, language has always been his weakness, since your first activity to select his works, helped him build up the confidence to learn chinese, last month's language test is excellent, this month is excellent, this child is happy!

What impressed me the most was the voice sent by a little girl on her mother's mobile phone: Teacher Li, I published a poem this time, which is particularly happy! I love writing, I heard my mother say that you are a writer, I also want to be a writer in the future can I?

The sweet and crunchy voice, like a small hand reaching out of the phone to scratch my heart, made my heart rejoice very much, and I quickly replied to her by voice: Of course! If you like it, keep writing, write well. When you become a writer in the future, you have to tell me that I will be the first to buy and read back! ......

At this moment, the sky is high and cloudless, and the sky is as clear as the hearts of children. There are birds flying in front of the building, and the front of the flight is the direction of her dreams.

Lo and behold, my cabin was even more lively.

None of the fifty-one children had ever met, but at this time I knew them one by one in the manuscript. I saw that some of them were flapping angelic wings, some were holding "seven-colored flowers", some had moved "evergreen", some were sitting by the window next to me in a silent daze, some were laughing and laughing with each other, and some were gently snuggling up to me to read the manuscript together.

I put down the manuscript and looked at them with a smile.

This is not enough. In the coming days, we want to build a campus literature base for the children of Yunyang, so that the children who actively participate in the "Looking for Yunyang Little Writers" activity can more easily and happily do front-end reading and exchange writing on this platform, hold salon activities and expert lectures on the theme of reading and writing for children, and lead children to go far beyond Yunyang through this platform.

Of course, this is just a dream for us now.

But isn't the greatest pride in life the realization of childhood dreams when you become an adult?

Looking for Yun Yang Little Writer. Kids, you're welcome.

"You are responsible for the flowers of the magic pen, we are responsible for the blossoming of dreams", which is our agreement.

Children, send you a paper airplane. We are releasing it now, in the hope that when you are grown up, it will fly back into your hands.
