It is not easy to engage in creation, especially if you need to do a lifetime of literary creation, you don't want to live a relaxed and happy life, you need a lifetime of observation and experience of life. Almost every day, I write works, permanently study and explore how to write works well, strive for high-level publication, and make my own creation climb to the peak. I began to create from the age of 20, decided the lifelong goal of struggle, although it is amateur creation, but also a long line of writing, a lifetime of pen cultivation, it can be said that every day outside the work, take time to write, no matter how tired and tired is not relaxed, often night and night lighting oil until late at night, provoking the wife and children are unwilling, and relatives and friends have no time to communicate, although not much achievement has been achieved, or persisted, this year 87 years old, engaged in creation for 64 years, countless pens used, used manuscript paper stacked into mountains, The tea that has been drunk is a big inlet, the hair is white, the cervical spine is tired, and now the creation has evolved into a means of health maintenance, and it is not okay to continue to tackle the problem and climb the height. However, I think that the hobbies of a lifetime cannot be lost, the diligent habits developed cannot be changed in a hurry, and we must continue to create as much as we can, which is also a contribution in the later years!
Beginners learn to write poems to worship Elder Hao
I first wrote poetry in 1955, shortly after graduating from Linqu No. 1 Middle School, I lived in my hometown and wrote two love poems, "Gone with the Wind" and "Love", which were sent to the county cultural center. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the earliest writer Hao Xianghao, read my poems and appeared on the mimeograph tabloids of the Cultural Center, because I soon became a teacher, busy with this and that did not seriously collect, I can no longer find it. But my poems were published like this, which lit up the dawn for my creation, and when I returned home after teaching in the mountains for a week, I went to the cultural center to visit Hao Lao as soon as I had time, and slowly hooked up with him. He attached great importance to me as an author, sent the manuscript to deal with it carefully, and published a mimeograph tabloid, and later published my poems in the last issue of Linqu Literature and Art, and recommended my works to provincial and municipal newspapers and periodicals. In 1958, the Linqu Literary Association was established to absorb me and was elected as a member of the Literary Association. Because of my enthusiasm for writing and a lot of submissions, Elder Hao listed me as a backbone author. At that time, as an author who had just entered the door of Linqu literature, I felt very honored.
Elder Hao worked in Linqu, but he had become a famous artist in the provincial literary and art circles, a member of the Provincial Federation of Literature and Art, and a very famous writer in Shandong. He is the old duntou of Linqu County's literary and artistic creation, an elder, and a well-known writer in the province, city, and country. He has published novel collections such as "The Beginning of Man" and "Direction", and written the TV series "Half the Sky", which has made great contributions to Linqu culture and literature. He has established immortal merit in cultivating the creative team. It not only regards me as the backbone of my creation, but also strongly recommends and promotes my works. In 1963, I held the "County-wide Literary Works Exhibition" opposite the Old Culture Center, and exhibited my portfolio of works, which was divided into 5 parts, such as "Driving Away the Dry Tiger", "Digging Bay Mud", "Winter Melon Grandma Sitting on a Flower Palanquin", "Taojing", and "Selected Poems", which made my works have a great impact.
In 1976, after I became the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the county party committee and the chairman of the Literary Association, Elder Hao vigorously supported my work. Later, during the period of running the "Haifu Wenyuan" tabloid, he arranged for him to host a creative workshop, cultivated a large number of creative backbones, enriched the works of the "Haifu Wenyuan" tabloid, and constantly opened up a new situation in the work of the county literary federation.
Elder Hao was my enlightenment teacher in literary creation, he helped me embark on the road of lifelong creation, and I can also be regarded as a writer and poet who has achieved certain achievements. When he was alive, we all worked in the county literary federation, took some care of his family life, ran a "farm to non-agricultural" for his wife, and solved the housing problem. Elder Hao has been dead for ten years, and I deeply miss this old colleague who worked with the enlightenment teacher, and I will always miss him.
