Even when her mother called her to eat, she was a little absent-minded.
"What are you thinking about? Comrade Li Ying! Your mother is calling you to eat!"
Mother Li patted her daughter's shoulder and asked with a smile.
"Ah? Mom! I was just thinking about something!" Li Ying came back to her senses and said a little angrily.
"Oh! Are you thinking about things or men?
Xiaoying, after you came back from the Northeast, I noticed that you often daydream like this.
Tell me honestly, are you attracted to some young guy?
Don't worry! Mom absolutely supports your free love. As long as you are determined, Mom will go to your house to propose marriage for you and will definitely help you marry your ideal man home. How about it?"
Li Ying's mother also works in the cultural field, so when she speaks, she is not as serious as other parents. Instead, she is more lively and playful.
"Mom! You're even making fun of your own daughter!"
Li Ying rolled her eyes at her mother, then said, "She is thinking about work! The poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" that caused a lot of controversy was plagiarized, and the real author is Haizi.
Now Haizi has published a new poem, "A Generation". I didn't tell you about it before it was published. Now you can read it for yourself. This poem is so well written."
As he spoke, Li Ying handed the latest issue of Poetry Magazine to his mother.
"Is it the featured poem? This Haizi is really amazing! He actually received the approval of the entire editorial department of your Poetry Magazine.
Just this point is not easy! Let me see how good this second poem "A Generation" can be. "
Honestly speaking, although Li's mother appreciated the poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom", she did not think that the poem deserved to be praised so highly.
All we can say is that the young men and women of this era need such a romantic poem to express their pursuit and hope for love and a beautiful life in this era of confinement.
"Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" was born out of necessity, carrying the aspirations of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of young men and women, and naturally it was recognized and enthusiastically followed.
but……
When hearing the song "A Generation", Li's mother's whole body immediately straightened up.
"Black eyes...seeking the light..."
call!
Mother Li was stunned.
Which intellectual of her age has not come through those dark days?
Many of them even infiltrated the Japanese puppet agencies and lived in danger of being exposed at any time, but they still fought for the light they pursued in their hearts without regrets.
Li Ying was born after the founding of the People's Republic of China and grew up under the red flag. She had never experienced that period.
Li's mother rarely mentioned to her the hardships and dangers she faced in spy warfare behind enemy lines.
As long as I don’t mention it or think about it, it’s as if those dark days really no longer exist.
But now, because of this line of poetry, all the memories in Li's mother's mind came flooding out like a dam bursting.
Whoosh!
Mother Li's tears flowed like two streams.
Li Ying was stunned when she saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Mom! Mom! What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
"No...it's okay! Mom just remembered some people and some things."
Wiping away her tears quickly, Li's mother couldn't help but sigh, "What a good poem! "A Generation" is a poem that couldn't be better."
"Isn't it? Not only do we say so, Mr. Guo, Mr. Ba and Mr. Zhong also say so, and they even wrote letters to praise and comment on it!"
Li Ying hugged her mother and then she remembered that she had heard from other uncles that her mother had been undercover in Shanghai for several years. Almost all of her comrades who fought together with her were killed. Her mother was also imprisoned in Prison No. 76. She was finally rescued after going through untold hardships.
She did not ask her mother about those days again, because the founding of New China had already given countless stories like this a happy ending.
When the bright red flag flutters in the sky and the clarion call of revolution sounds in the land of China, all the darkness of the past will pass and all the light of the future will come.
"Mom! What do you think of Haizi, who wrote Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms and A Generation?"
For some unknown reason, Li Ying asked her mother this question.
"Great! Such a talented poet, and you said he was a farmer, amazing! To be able to write such poems in such an environment is really amazing."
Mother Li praised as a matter of course.
When Li Ying heard her mother praising Lin Huowang, she didn't know why, but she felt happier than if she were praised herself.
…
On the other side, the General Political Department Repertory Theatre.
Early in the morning, Gong Xue couldn't wait to buy the latest issue of "Poetry Magazine", and then hid backstage to read it carefully.
"Ah! So early? Xiaoxue, what are you looking at? So furtively. Could it be that this is a love letter from some gay man?"
Gong Xue’s best friend Zhang Rong suddenly appeared behind her, which immediately scared her.
"This is so scary! Rongrong, what love letter is this? This is the latest issue of Poetry Magazine."
Seeing that it was her best friend Zhang Rong, Gong Xue generously handed over the Poetry Magazine.
"Huh? Last time I read a report in the People's Daily, it said Haizi would publish new poems in the next issue of Poetry Magazine, is that right?
This is the episode, did you see it? "
Zhang Rong also took it with interest.
"Hmm! The poem is called "A Generation". It is a really good poem."
