I don't know if you still remember, in the third season of the 2018 "Chinese Poetry Conference", a takeaway brother named Lei Haiwei from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, through his profound knowledge of ancient poetry, defeated the genius Peng Min of Peking University, and became famous for a while, shocking the whole country.
Lei Haiwei, who only has a secondary school degree and is mediocre in appearance, why is he so powerful? You must know that his opponent Peng Min is the double champion of the "Chinese Idiom Conference" and the "Chinese Character Conference".
Such a strong character was defeated by him, which shows how strong Lei Haiwei's strength is.
Lei Haiwei's personal growth
Lei Haiwei, born in 1981, came from an ordinary family in Shaoyang, Hunan, because his father was a teacher, he was exposed to and learned ancient poetry since he was a child.
His father, who usually likes to copy poems, tells him poetry stories whenever he has time, and every time Lei Haiwei listens to it intoxicated, and then he falls in love with poetry.
After graduating from junior high school, due to the limited economic conditions of his family, Lei Haiwei chose to go to a technical secondary school to learn electrical technology, and after graduation, he came to Shenzhen to work as an electrician.
Later, due to work reasons, he went to Shanghai alone, worked as a small electrician, car washer, and then went to Hangzhou to work as a gift salesman and later as a delivery man.
But no matter how his job changed, he always had a dream in his heart, he wanted to be a poet.
So, in his spare time, he used his spare time to memorize ancient poems.
Every time he finished reciting a poem, he felt that the hard work and fatigue of the day had been swept away, and he found that the charm of ancient poetry was getting bigger and bigger.
No matter what happens in life, as long as he reads poetry, he forgets everything, as if he has changed a person.
It can be said that it was the ancient poems that calmed his inner anxiety and calmed him after working hard every day.
Persistent hobbies
In 2004, he entered a bookstore and happened to see the whole poem of "Chivalrous Travel", so he memorized it on the spot.
Later, he found out that after so many years in the society, ancient poems are like genes engraved in his bones, and they have never changed.
His interest in ancient poetry grew, and whenever he had time, he went into bookstores and looked at them greedily.
In this way, before he knew it, he memorized 800 poems in a year and read countless classic poetry collections.
In 2008, he left Shanghai and went to Hangzhou to start a gift sales.
Just because of that sentence: "Outside the mountain, Qingshan Building, West Lake, when will the song and dance stop", Hangzhou, has become a city that Lei Haiwei has been fascinated by since he was a child.
If a person, in his ordinary life, has not forgotten poetry and distance, then he must be very optimistic and full of hope for the future.
With the rise of the courier industry in 2011, he became a courier, but his love for poetry did not decrease but became more obsessed.
In between the red lights, he would memorize a poem, and when it was time to pick up the food, he would glance at the book a few more times.
Day after day, year after year, just like that, Lei Haiwei has enough energy, just waiting for the highlight moment that inspires his life.
Years of perseverance ushered in a highlight moment
In 2016, the "Chinese Poetry Conference" radiated the charm of traditional culture, and its unique "fighting poetry" competition attracted the attention of countless audiences across the country.
Lei Hai, who learned the news, was shocked, and he also wanted to go up and compete.
Finally, in 2018, Lei Haiwei came to the finals of the third season of "Chinese Poetry Conference", and he had a super showdown with Peng Min, a genius from Peking University opposite.
Finally, with a sentence: "Why should he cut the candles in the west window together, but when it rains at night in Bashan." Amazing Lenovo won the final.
At that moment, as the host, Dong Qing praised without hesitation: "I think all your sun and rain, your rush and hard work in the wind and rain, and all your poems secretly hiding in the back of the bookstore have bloomed with extraordinarily dazzling brilliance at this moment." ”
In the face of honor, the original intention has not changed
Overnight, the inspirational story about Lei Haiwei detonated the Internet and spread all over the country, and countless parents and children were impressed and praised him.
After becoming famous, he continued to return to the rental floor, continued to go out early and return late, shuttling through the streets and alleys of the city.
However, some units or enterprises began to look for him and invited him to give lectures to enterprises or units with a high salary.
However, Lei Hai was unmoved in the face of all this, he did not lose himself, but continued to maintain his original intention.
Later, he chose to go to a training institution in Chengdu as a teaching and research teacher, specializing in teaching ancient poetry to children.
Write at the end
Don't forget the original intention, forge ahead, many people will stick to their dreams for a lifetime, Lei Haiwei is such a person, in the face of the temptation of high salary, he is not moved, but sticks to his original intention.
A person who hopes to use the power of ancient poetry to carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture must be full of his feelings for the motherland, his hometown and the people.
It is hoped that Lei Haiwei will pass on a spiritual power that can warm people's hearts and inspire people through the explanation of ancient poems in his new post, and further increase the cultural self-confidence of our people.
