Just as editor Li Ying was amazed at the beginning, this is definitely a poem that can become popular all over the country.
Li Ying also counted them one by one with great joy: "One vote, two votes... seventeen votes! Editor-in-chief, elected unanimously. "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" was unanimously elected as the featured poem of this issue."
"Well! That's settled then.
It's finally done. We all went through a lot of trouble to write this theme poem.
Li Ying, you will have to work hard later.
Please write down your understanding and analysis of this poem as the editor’s appreciation after the main poem in the next issue.”
Nodding, Yan Chen was very satisfied with the result, and then gave Li Yingdao instructions.
"Ah? Editor-in-Chief, I... I'm not qualified, right?
I am a new intern editor and I follow the rules of Poetry Magazine.
At least I have to wait until I become a full-time editor in a year before I am qualified to write poetry appreciation, right?"
Li Ying was flattered and waved her hands repeatedly to refuse, "Besides! I am really not qualified to write an appreciation for such a "great" poem.
There are so many seniors here, all well-known editors and poets, it is definitely not my turn as a junior to write an appreciation.
Editor-in-chief, I think we should let other editors write it! I really don’t deserve the title!”
To others, these words seemed to be a show of false modesty on the part of Li Ying.
But Li Ying herself really believed so. The more she felt that the poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming" was well written, the more she dared not write an appreciation for it.
It’s scary just thinking about it!
By then, this song "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming" will become popular among young literary and artistic people across the country. How can an unknown person like me be qualified to write an appreciation of it?
By then, you will be criticized by thousands of people!
Besides, the fact that she came to work at Poetry Magazine through connections was already eye-catching enough.
Her father told her that she must be low-key and humble in Poetry Magazine, and must respect her predecessors again and again.
How could she monopolize such an opportunity to be in the spotlight!
However……
Editor-in-chief Yan Chen waved his hand and said: "You can write well. Apart from anything else, just organize and expand on what you just said, and you will be qualified.
I think your appreciation is very accurate.
The vitality of young people is something that we old guys cannot appreciate.
and……"
At this point, Chief Editor Yan Chen suddenly thought of something. He knew that Li Ying was afraid of standing out in front of the senior editors and snatching their opportunities.
Then, he added again: "Besides, who says that this poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" can only be followed by an appreciation article?
I plan to write two articles on the appreciation of the main poem this time!
An article written by Li Ying, written from a young person's perspective, just as I just told you.
As for the other article, let Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ge write it!
You have a sophisticated literary style and are a well-known novelist. You can try to write an appreciation of the poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" from another perspective."
Now, the two appreciation articles were published in parallel, which relieved some of the pressure that Li Ying was facing.
And it would be a lie to say that she didn't want such an honor.
"Okay! In that case, Editor-in-Chief, I'll give it a try.
If it is not well written, please tell me directly, and do not force it to be used. I am really afraid that I will not be able to appreciate it properly and be scolded by poetry lovers all over the country. "
Li Ying nodded and took on the task.
At this time, another editor immediately asked curiously:
"Li Ying, you haven't said anything yet.
Who is the author of "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming"?
What is his identity? A cultural worker, a scholar, or a worker..."
"Yes! I am also curious about how such a free and happy poem could be written. The author should still be a young man, right?"
"No, no, no! Most young people are arrogant. How can they write such comfortable and unrestrained poems?
He must be an old professor who has experienced many vicissitudes of life! "
…
As several editors speculated and argued about the identity of the poet, Li Ying smiled and said:
"The author of the poem Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms was an educated youth who went to the countryside.
What a coincidence, he was an educated youth who went from our capital to the rural area in Northeast China.
His name is Zhong Yuejin and he is only eighteen years old. "
"Wow! Eighteen years old, so young!"
"It is true that heroes emerge from youth! Apart from other things, this poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming" alone is enough to make him occupy an important position in the history of Chinese poetry.
Especially at this stage, our country's literary and artistic work has begun to recover and boost comprehensively.
Poems like "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" that are full of hope and energy will inevitably become one of the main themes and bring about a wave of poetry revival."
"Very good! And he is from Beijing. Did he mention his home address in Beijing in the letter?
If so, we can go to his home first and tell his family the good news that the poem has been published!"
Li Ying shook her head: "No! But he said in his letter that he is a poetry lover.
He likes our Poetry Magazine very much and eagerly hopes to join our Poetry Magazine. This is his lifelong ideal and wish.
He hopes that our Poetry Magazine can help him transfer back to Beijing and become a poetry editor at Poetry Magazine.”
