During this special period, the development of literary and artistic works in our country was almost completely stagnant.
The cultural life of the masses can be said to be quite scarce.
Since last year, various former literary magazines have begun to resume publication as many cultural figures have returned to their jobs.
The first journal to resume publication was People's Literature, followed by Poetry Magazine.
As for a series of newspapers and magazines such as "October", "Harvest", "Wenyi Bao", "Novel Monthly" and "Youth Literature", they were all resumed publication after 1978.
It can be said that as of 1977, in addition to People's Literature, Poetry Magazine has become the spiritual belief and sustenance of countless young literary people.
This is not...
As soon as the new issue of Poetry Magazine arrived at Xinhua Bookstore and post office, it was immediately snapped up by the literary and artistic young people who had been waiting there.
Most of them are educated youth who are interested in literature and poetry.
Many educated youth were not well-off, and although the price of an issue of Poetry Magazine was 0.3 yuan, they could only afford it by pooling their money together.
When they first got the Poetry Magazine, the educated youth would often gather in a circle, and then the one with the best reciting skills would open the title page in public and recite the first featured poem of the issue.
This is the practice after the resumption of publication of Poetry Magazine. The highest-quality poetry submission in this issue will be placed on the title page.
It can be said to be a bird's-eye view, showing the best level.
The featured poems in previous issues have been very good and have been widely circulated and recited among the vast literary youth community.
But that's it, it can't become a classic.
Often, the main poem of the previous issue will disappear soon after the main poem of the next issue comes out, and few people continue to recite and spread it.
However, as soon as the featured poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming" in today's issue of "Poetry Magazine" appeared, almost all the young literary people who got the "Poetry Magazine" felt an indescribable love for it.
They even can't wait to share this beautiful poem full of happiness and hope with everyone around them.
"Xiao Li! Let me recite a poem to you! It's so well written.
The title of the poem is "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms", from tomorrow on, be a happy person..."
"No! No! It's just poetry. No matter how good it is, can it be eaten as a meal? I'm hungry now. I just want a bowl of fragrant rice..."
"...May your lovers finally be together,
May you find happiness in this world.
I only wish to face the sea and see the flowers blooming in spring.
How is it? Is this poem well written? "
“Ah! This poem is so well written, isn’t it?
I was so hungry that my stomach growled. I wondered why life was so difficult! I couldn't even fill my stomach.
But after listening to this poem, I suddenly felt a bright future.
Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming!
I haven’t seen the sea yet! If I have the chance in the future, I must go see the sea once…”
…
Similar conversations occurred throughout the day, and even over the next half month, as Poetry Magazine went on sale across the country.
The poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming" and its author "Zhong Yuejin" became famous among the educated youth group across the country.
Especially the author Zhong Yuejin, who used such plain and simple words to depict such hopeful and happy pictures and scenes.
Countless literary young women immediately fell in love with and became obsessed with him.
"Zhong Yuejin can write such a heartwarming poem as 'Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms'. He must be a very good person!"
"I really want to meet this Zhong Yuejin. He must be very sunny and handsome."
"The author's resume in the poetry magazine shows that Zhong Yuejin is only 18 years old this year and is an educated youth who went to work in a commune in Northeast China.
He is an educated youth just like us!
But he is so talented. Look at the poems that have been selected as the main poems of Poetry Magazine. In every previous issue, all of them are works by literary masters and famous domestic poets!"
"Yes! This Zhong Yuejin is really amazing!
Apart from anything else, just based on this song "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms", he is enough to be the most talented educated youth."
"It would be great if I could marry a talented educated youth like Zhong Yuejin! He would write poems for me every day and tell me endless love words through poems..."
…
It is no exaggeration to say that the literary young women at this time are so easy to be "cheated".
As long as you can pretend a little, speak sweetly, and utter a few lines of modern poetry like "Ah! Ah! Ah!", I guarantee that there will be a bunch of fans who adore you.
Not to mention, if you really have some real stuff and have published poems in publications.
Then you can travel around as a "great poet", and no matter where you go, you will attract a bunch of male and female educated youth's crazy admiration and pursuit.
You don't even need to express your intention, there are countless female educated youth who want to offer themselves to you.
What’s even more exaggerated is that these female educated youth don’t even ask for anything, but instead consider it an honor.
The magical era is really incredible.
But it was indeed from this time to the end of the 1990s that domestic literati and poets had the highest status and lived the most comfortable lives.
These educated youth who read "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" were infected by the emotions in the book and everyone was very excited.
