A shout from outside the yard immediately made all the editors in the editorial department stand up at once.
"Is it a letter from the Writers Association?"
"Or was it written by both Mr. Ba and Mr. Zhong?"
"It's so rare! In one day, three masters all wrote letters to Haizi about his poem "A Generation"?"
"It's no wonder. Although this song 'A Generation' is not as rich and romantic as 'Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom', it can resonate with many people with just one line of poetry. It's rich in connotation!"
"When I first watched Generations, you know what? I cried all night long. But when I woke up the next morning and saw the sunlight shining through the window, I was filled with infinite hope for the future!"
"Yes! The poem "A Generation" has such a magical power that it can immediately remind you of the darkest moment in your life, but it will not let you indulge in the sadness of the past.
Hope! Yes! It is hope! Light and hope are what this song "Generation" brings to all of us..."
…
Although everyone in the editorial office had not seen the letters from Ba Lao and Zhong Lao, they all began to talk about their extra feelings about the poem "A Generation".
Although they had discussed the literary value of the poem "A Generation" before, after all, they were such familiar colleagues that they would hide their true feelings to some extent.
But now, I can't help but express out loud my first reactions and feelings after seeing the poem "A Generation".
“This poem is really good!”
When Li Ying saw this scene, she felt warm in her heart.
Suddenly, the scene of Lin Huowang reciting this poem in the guesthouse emerged in my mind.
It was afternoon and the sunlight poured in through the window, shining on his face and body.
Lin Huowang was so golden and glowing, and he lived in her heart forever.
"A Generation"!
Li Ying couldn't help but feel a little sad.
It is a great honor for me to have the opportunity to meet such a talented poet as Lin Huowang.
She didn't dare to ask for more, but she felt infinite envy and... a little jealousy towards Lin Huowang's wife Liu Rumeng!
Go to the countryside! Become an educated youth.
It’s amazing that we can meet such a talented peasant poet.
Li Ying couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Her parents used their connections to help her find a job at Poetry Magazine, thus avoiding her having to go to the countryside.
She wondered if she would end up like Liu Rumeng, losing the opportunity to meet an excellent partner for life.
"Oh! What am I thinking about? Lin Huowang is probably the only peasant poet in China!
This is simply a wild fantasy. Could it be that if I didn’t work at Poetry Magazine and went to the countryside as an educated youth, I would have met such an outstanding boy as Lin Huowang?”
After sneer- ing at his own fantasy, Li Ying turned his attention back to reality.
Editor-in-chief Yan Chen had already arrived in the yard and took the letter from the staff of the Writers Association.
"Haha! Mr. Guo's letter just now made us all very nervous.
This time the letter is from Mr. Ba and Mr. Zhong, so there is no need to be nervous.
However, we should still be excited, because these are the two most famous literary masters of our country in modern times!
The featured poems published in our Poetry Magazine have been recognized by these two masters. This also shows that the success of our Poetry Magazine is the success of our editorial department. We did not let the big waves bury the gold, and we finally found it. "
After saying some exciting and polite words, Chief Editor Yan Chen opened the envelope and took out two pages of letter paper.
The two literary masters were also very frugal with words, and one of them only wrote one sentence to evaluate "A Generation".
What Ba Jinba wrote is: "He completed the spiritual autobiography of a generation with two lines of poetry, which is a miniature epic in the history of modern Chinese poetry."
Qian Zhongshu wrote: "In the alchemy of language, political trauma is transformed into aesthetic shock."
These two sentences of evaluation have pushed the literary and spiritual value of "A Generation" to a new height.
"Great! That's great. How about we do a special feature on "A Generation" in the next issue?"
Then invite some modern poets to do some analysis and appreciation of the poem "A Generation".
Attached are the comments from Mr. Guo, Mr. Ba, and Mr. Zhong, which are definitely significant enough.”
Deputy Chief Editor Tian Jian was also extremely excited. He repeatedly read the comments of the two literary giants, feeling infinite emotion in his heart. He suddenly felt that he was extremely honored as the deputy chief editor of Poetry Magazine to witness such a historical moment.
"Comrade Li Ying, you have seen it! This is the high evaluation of Haizi's "A Generation" by Mr. Ba and Mr. Zhong.
Including the letter from Mr. Guo just now, I suggest that we keep a copy and then send the originals to Haizi!
There are also some letters from readers, you can also select some and send them together. What do you think? "
Editor-in-chief Yan Chen handed the two letters to Li Ying and said with a smile.
"Great! That's great. I believe Lin... Oh no! Haizi will definitely be very happy when he knows that "A Generation" has been highly recognized by literary masters."
Li Ying took the letter very solemnly, feeling a surge of excitement in her heart.
She was still excited until she got home from get off work.
