Poets such as Lin Mang, Yang Ke, and Gong Xuemin mourn Zheng Min: she is a bouquet of golden rice on the new Chinese poetry scene

At 7 o'clock on January 3, Zheng Min, the last poet of the Jiuye Poetry School, died in Beijing at the age of 102.

After the news was released, the poets wrote down their remembrance of Mr. Zheng Min in the circle of friends.

The famous poet Lin Mang wrote in the circle of friends: In China's new poetry world, we do need more poets and critics like Mr. Zheng Min. She always made me feel that she was a bouquet of golden rice in the new Chinese poetry scene, bowing her head in contemplation/silence in the autumn field." Silence. History is nothing more than a small river flowing at the foot of the /foot". In her heart there is always the clear glow of the full moon and the distant blue mountains.

Yang Ke, member of the presidium of the Chinese Writers Association and president of the Chinese Poetry Society, said: 102 years old! mourn! 25 years ago, in a boat discussion on Hongfeng Lake in Guiyang, Mr. Zheng Min believed that modern poets should learn from classical Chinese poetry, and now I think so. Zheng Min's longevity also shows that life does not lie in practicing sports such as brisk walking and running.

Gong Xuemin, a famous poet, vice chairman of the Sichuan Writers Association, and editor-in-chief of the poetry journal "Stars", wrote: Her exploration of contemporary Western philosophical thought, her thinking on new poetry and Chinese, her concern for the fate of mankind, and her concern for science and humanistic education have all shown the courage, responsibility and noble sentiment of a Chinese poet and intellectual to seek the truth.

Hu Liang, winner of the Sichuan Literature Award and the Jian'an Literature Prize, wrote: Surprised to learn that Mr. Zheng Min is on a fairy tour today, at the age of 102, and all nine leaves have withered away. I remember that in October 2016, I was studying at Peking University, and one night I went to Tsinghua Garden to visit her bit by bit.
