In recent years, I have participated in poetry programs such as "Chinese Poetry Conference" and "Challenging the Impossible". With the broadcast of the program, many viewers are very curious, I have more than half a hundred "advanced age" in recent years to participate in high-intensity competitive poetry competitions, and achieved good results, how to master a large number of ancient poems.
In fact, my love for ancient poetry is not overnight, and the reserve of thousands of poems is not achieved overnight. My first poetic inspiration came from my parents, who both graduated from the teacher's college in the provincial capital in the 1970s. Although his father majored in physics, he also had a deep literary attainment, and his mother was a Chinese major. Since I can remember, I have often listened to them recite Chairman Mao's poems, and my parents have made me edified and infected by classical poetry and traditional Chinese culture since I was a child, and the tongzigong I laid down as a child has also benefited me a lot throughout my life.
Poetry has grown up with me all the way, it is an indispensable embellishment in my life, let me find the beauty at the same time, but also let me harvest pure love.
In April 1995, when I had just been working for a few years, a food factory in my hometown was collecting advertising words for its "Xinxin" brand snowman ice cream. This ice cream was very famous in the southeastern part of Henan at that time, it was a cute snowman shape, the round head, eyes, mouth was made of coffee-colored chocolate, and the rest was made of white milk powder, selling for 5 cents a stick. At that time, ordinary old popsicles and ice cream were just a mixture of sugar water, no milk powder ingredients, and only sold for 5 cents and a dime. So this snowman ice cream, whether on the outside or inside, can be called the Haagen-Dazs of that era. You know, in 1995, my monthly salary was less than 200 yuan, like this ice cream, I could only taste it every time, and I didn't dare to enjoy it.
When it comes to events like soliciting advertising words for my beloved ice cream, I naturally can't miss it. In response to the organizing committee's request to closely follow the characteristics of "cold food and cold drink", as well as to be simple and bright and catchy, I had a clever move and remembered the classical poetry that has accompanied me for many years.
I used Wang Changling's "Furong Lou Send Xin Gradually" in "a piece of ice heart in a jade pot" and conceived a sentence of "a piece of ice heart in Xinxin". "Ice Heart" not only fits the "cold" characteristics of snowman ice cream, but also expresses the heart of "Ice Pure Jade" that the Food General Factory strives to serve the people, and the "heart" and "Xin" are harmonious and catchy to read. This advertising slogan was unanimously praised by the organizing committee and won the only second prize. At that time, there was only one first prize, and I remember it very clearly, it was like this: "New hot cold drink, new every year." Xinxin cold drink, often eat often new".
After the collection, the streets and alleys and the delivery cars were full of posters of "A Piece of Ice Heart in Xinxin". At that time, the more luxurious television sets and radios could also be heard everywhere as the broadcaster's words were "a piece of ice in Xinxin", and I didn't know what was wrong, but I never saw the advertising slogan of the first prize. Later, many friends said that it may be the first prize that bites the mouth, like a tongue twister. And I think this one is particularly simple and catchy.
For a time, this slogan resounded throughout the southeastern region of Henan. The ensuing prizes are also very generous: one of the prizes is 200 snowman ice cream; The second prize was a relatively large table lamp, and the organizing committee exaggeratedly wrote down the collection and my name with red paint on the base. (Small table lamps can't write so many words, and using paint is to prevent the words from being erased).)
The 200 ice creams were taken out at once with the award certificate and filled with a large cardboard box. Looking at the ice cream that is usually too expensive for me to look at, I now have a box, and I feel that I am the richest person in the world.
I rode the biggest bike in the family, the Twenty-Eight, and rode it. Ecstatic at the same time, I secretly worried that my home was a little far from the city, and the small freezer room in the refrigerator at home could not accept this behemoth. If they can't find a place to live within a few hours, they will turn into a pool of milk.
When I was hesitating at the gate of the food factory, I happened to meet a young male colleague of the unit, who was not very familiar with each other, but also knew each other. After he learned the reason, he volunteered to say that his house was across the road and there was a large freezer in the house to store. I didn't have time to think about it, so I pushed the car to his house.
After settling in the ice cream, he said I was welcome to come and get the ice cream. Yes, it is hard to enjoy the delicious taste of ice cream, although it is stored in other people's homes, I can't forget them anyway.
Once, twice, and then I gradually sped up the frequency of going to their house. Why, because I found that ice cream was decreasing faster than I could have imagined. It turned out that he, his sister, brother, and cousin were all about 20 years old at the time, and who had seen this huge pile of mouth-watering expensive and delicious ice cream. I really can't resist the temptation, so you touch one, I take one, and quietly digest it.
Haha, that's it, this box of ice cream accompanied us through that unforgettable summer. Because of this incident, my prestige and status in their family were also unprecedentedly high, and later, I became a member of their family...
That clumsy and tall lamp also became my dowry, accompanying us through twenty years of ups and downs. Unfortunately, during a recent relocation, this old antique was lost somewhere, which made me feel sad for a while. Although it is incompatible with our modern family environment, every time I see it, it is as if I see a beautiful time that has passed, a sweet memory of love.
When my lover later gave his friends a joke about this, he always joked, "On the importance of buying a big freezer at home..."
The love hidden in the days is so simple and unpretentious, it is like a fire, giving you the warmth of a lifetime. It doesn't have a dazzling light, but it makes you feel warm and sweet...
