What exactly can reading bring to people? This event may answer that question. On April 23, World Book Day, the day with the most reading topics and activities throughout the year, young writer Sanger returned to her hometown of Chengdu with her first collection of poems, "Inverted Skin", and held the first meeting in Chengdu at the cherry blossom garden on the roof. Xiong Ying, the founder of the cherry blossom garden, served as the host, the poet Xiao'an, the writer Jie Chen, the founder and writer Ning Yuan of the distant family, and the media person and painter Li Zhongmao gathered in the cherry blossom garden to talk to readers about Sangge's new book and also about Sangge as a person.
The scene of the event
Inverted Skin is Sanger's work published after a gap of seven years and was launched by Nova Press in March this year. This book is a compilation of Sanger's last five years of poetry and works full of spirit and condensation. In this book, a poem is a healing little story, which is both a continuation of Sanger's previous creative style and the simplest inner expression of her return to the authenticity of the text.
New work "Inverted Skin"
Speaking of his relationship with poetry, Sanger said that he was influenced by the poet and editor of the book, He Xiaozhu. When she first tried to write poetry, she was always a little dissatisfied, and He Xiaozhu changed two words, which gave it a new life and a harmonious rhythm. So she began to make a conscious exploration, and finally presented the plain, colloquial poems of "Inverted Skin". But these poems are restrained—she always emphasizes restraint, because she doesn't want to inject too much literary into the poems, she writes poetry, and it is a kind of existence that is enough to live, and it is extremely concise to restore the world she sees.
Sanger is a typical "Chengdu female doll", compared with other cities, the biggest change in returning to her hometown to do activities is to be able to hear a lot of Chengdu dialect. The guests and readers are like old friends, talking about Sanger's memories. Some people use Sanger's signature book a few years ago as a motivation to support themselves on exams; some people like her from "When I Was a Child" to today and finally meet their idols; some people really like her this year, but they have become an important part of life. The double arrow of love between the author and the reader, they thank each other, thank each other for the warmth, laughter, support and touch.
This emotion reached a climax in the reading of the poem, and many readers saw themselves in Sanger's poem, and they stood up to read their favorite one, and even choked up several times. The more ordinary things are, the more they can move people, and Sanger chose the real touching moments in his life to write poems, and behind these light-language, bird-like verses, there is a strong emotion that Sanger wants to convey.

Reading connects the author with the reader, and this camaraderie will live forever. Writing a poem is not simple, it is even more valuable to be able to read the emotions hidden in it, and Sanger expects more and more readers to fall in love with poetry and love life more through "Rewinding Skin".
