Seven years ago,
"China After Zero" has reported
A vegetable vendor in Taicang, Jiangsu Province, who loves poetry
Wang Tong'en
He called himself "The Poet Lao Wang"
Many years have passed,
How is the old king living now,
Are you still holding on to your dreams and continuing to write poetry?
Wang Youen, 58, came to Taicang from Sihong in 2007 and has been selling vegetables for 15 years. At 5 a.m., Lao Wang, as usual, was busy in the vegetable market. The difference is that with the upgrading of the vegetable farm, his stall has moved from the outside to the indoor, and the business has improved a lot.
Every day, the first batch of people enter the stalls and stack the dishes neatly is a habit that Lao Wang has developed over the years.
Once, Lao Wang relied on a small vegetable stall to support the life of a family of six. Seven years have passed, and the children's little days are getting better and better. Not far from the vegetable stall, the daughter kept the grain and oil shop in good order, and the two sons also sold vegetables in the vegetable market, taking care of each other.
Although the work of selling vegetables requires getting up early and being greedy, it is very hard, but Lao Wang feels that it is a kind of happiness for the family to live an ordinary little life in a down-to-earth manner!
Over the years, Lao Wang's hobby of writing poetry and writing has not been interrupted. Knowing that he liked to write, the vegetable market also provided a free lounge for him to practice calligraphy. He said: "People must persevere, and they must persevere and never give up. ”
His wife and children, who opposed his creation at that time, also began to silently become his "sponsors", "My wife ostensibly resented me, saying that you have been trying for so many years not to give up, there is no result, but it is still supportive, sometimes buy ink, buy brushes, are sponsored by her." ”
Lao Wang, who is nearly sixty years old, has now caught up with the fashion and become a short video blogger. On social platforms, he sometimes talks about the creation of ancient style poetry, sometimes basks on his calligraphy works, and unconsciously, he has gained more than 3,000 hardcore fans.
Lao Wang's pen has been working tirelessly, and the poems he has written in recent years are filled with two large suitcases. In the future, Lao Wang hopes to publish a new collection of ancient calligraphy poems, and he also wants to write a long novel in 15 to 20 years.
Wang Tongen said: "Life is not about money and economy, I just want to leave a record in my life, a record that can never be erased." ”
Whoever has a dream is amazing!
Thumbs up to "Poet Lao Wang"!
