The writer I know is Yu Aiping
Author: Sunshine Week Eight
[The Obscure Poetry and Obscure Poetry Movement, which arose in the late 1970s and early 1980s, more than 20 years ago.] In the era of historical transition after the end of the Cultural Revolution, obscure poetry was an important part of the exciting ideological and literary "liberation" trend at that time, and at the same time, it was also the starting point for the innovation of contemporary new poetry. The passion and expression it expressed opened up productive creative space for later new poetry writers.

Writer Yu Aiping
The reason why I had the privilege of getting to know my teacher was based on his work at that time and the great influence of obscure poetry on that era.
After experiencing the devastation of the Cultural Revolution on her family, relatives, studies, life, thoughts, and feelings, Teacher Yu followed her mother back to Jinan and was arranged by her father's friends to work in the personnel office of a certain department. For his own ideals, writing, he returned to literature for the first time, gave up the organ that had both preferential treatment and a brilliant future, and came to our department as a staff member of the medicine garden. The reason why I chose the medicine garden was because there was free time to read here, and there was also a convenient condition for reading that our school was adjacent to the mountain teacher, and at that time, teacher Yu was still studying in the mountain teacher's Chinese department, but I don't know if this factor is not in his consideration.
There are four teachers in the medicine garden, and we have to work or intern in the medicine garden every year. At that time, Teacher Yu did not smile and seized all the time to read (I mentioned in another blog post, "Those Things in the Nursery", http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_51dc8d590100eda7.html, and I had not contacted Teacher Yu when I wrote that blog post).
A collection of poems by Yu Aiping
At that time, the young people in our class were very close to Teacher Yu and often had to discuss some issues with Teacher Yu. I am a reader of scar literature (very enthusiastic), and Teacher Yu is a witness and author of scar literature (it is not excluded that at that time, I also thought of myself as Wenqing, and I also liked to dance and make ink, although I had not achieved a poem, huh). Thanks to the teacher's appreciation, I can appreciate some of the new works of the teacher from time to time. At that time, Teacher Yu was shoulder to shoulder with many poets in China, and remembered that the "Selected Lyric Poems of Shu Ting and Gu Cheng", which was very popular at that time, was also difficult to get hands on, and the promotion and sales of "Selected Lyric Poems of Shu Ting" in the mountain division were organized by Teacher Yu, who initially wanted me to participate, and later Teacher Yu said that I did not have the quality of a poet and did not take me (saying that I had the temperament of a poet, but did not have the quality of a poet, for example, I could not bend down to experience the life of the lowest people; also, said that I could not set up a stall in front of the mountain teacher's door, etc.). These may not be remembered by the teacher, so at this moment when I still have memories, I want to write them out, and the words are more reliable than the brain.

This time in Beijing to meet, found that Yu teacher has a long "plantain" a draft came out (above), maybe the second draft, anyway is still changing, it is said to change for two years, is A4 paper in the opposite of the small No. 5 word, but also two inches thick bar, read the draft let people awe-inspiring writers, if like the past a word by word copy, a long piece of paper is not copied two feet high? This reminds me of a past incident.
In the early 1980s, Mr. Yu often submitted articles to various literary magazines, and several poems had been published, but the submission of novels had not been successful. Once asked me to help him when I returned to Beijing on vacation to see if a manuscript of "October" could be retrieved, at that time, it seemed that "October" did not return the manuscript, or promised to withdraw but has not returned. For the first time in my life, I stepped up the dark and narrow staircase of the newsroom, and in a chaotic office that was very different from my imagination, an enthusiastic editor found Mr. Yu's short story "Mountain God" from a large pile of manuscripts. Thick enough to be an inch, it was the kind of official manuscript paper manuscript that was one word at a time. When I brought it back to Jinan to give to Teacher Yu, he was so happy that he even invited me to dinner. This saved the trouble of copying it again, and this manuscript was later published in the Novel Forest.
Manuscript of the novel Plantain
I used to think it was a novella, this time I talked to Teacher Yu, I knew that it was a short story, I exclaimed that it is not easy to write and write, so I took a print of this draft, I want to tell you a real writer, and a writer's respectable work!
Attached to the teacher's poem:
"At this moment, I can tell you"
The heart cannot be silent for long
Life will not have only one color
When in a relationship
It really can't be bridged
Maybe separation is the best option
Don't say that the beauty of the past is ruined
Pain is not ugly
Nor is it the end
Let's learn to cherish it
Even if it's sometimes passing by
Not all broken mirrors can be re-rounded
What breaks out of the cocoon is the fruit of love
Maybe it's been like this for the rest of your life
And out of the window
It is the thick autumn color
