The content was very simple. It said that Yan Chen, the editor-in-chief of Poetry Magazine, and Li Ying, the editor, were going to Baishan County on a business trip to look for and meet Zhong Yuejin, an educated youth who was working in the Linjiagou Production Brigade of the Red Star Commune. The train would arrive at noon the next day. They were asked to contact Comrade Zhong Yuejin first and ask him to come to the county to meet them the next day.
Ge Yu, director of the county party committee's propaganda department, happened to be on leave today and was not in the office during the day.
It was not until I came back in the evening that I saw this telegram.
When she received the telegram, she was immediately shocked, and then overjoyed.
She rushed to the county magistrate's office with the telegram and shouted, "County Magistrate Xiong! County Magistrate Xiong! Good news! Great news!"
"Minister Ge, you look so happy. Your Propaganda Department has accomplished something great that is not worth disregarding your image!"
County Magistrate Xiong was not excited at all, because in his opinion, no matter how hard the county's propaganda department worked, what achievements could it achieve? And what good news could it possibly bring?
"A great result! It's absolutely an incredible result."
Ge Yu proudly waved the telegram in his hand and boasted to County Magistrate Xiong, "Our county has produced a great poet! As the county magistrate, I'm afraid you didn't know about it this whole time, right?"
"What? A great poet? Who? How come he suddenly appeared?"
County Magistrate Xiong was a little confused. Out of nowhere, a great poet emerged under his jurisdiction? How could he, the county magistrate, know nothing about it?
"Zhong Yuejin! He is now the most famous poet in the country and the most sought-after poet by young literary men."
Ge Yu placed the telegram in front of Xiong Xingwang and said to him, "The novel Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms, which has recently become popular all over the country and inspired countless young people, was written by him.
When I read Poetry Magazine, I knew that Zhong Yuejin was an educated youth who was sent to work in a rural area in Northeast China.
But I never dared to think about our Baishan County. Unexpectedly, we were the ones who won the prize!
This is something that deserves to be written about in great detail. Our Baishan County must have been struck by the God of Literature to have produced such a great poet!"
"Facing the sea, spring flowers blooming? I have read this poem, it is very good, the content is positive, inspiring and optimistic."
County Magistrate Xiong was also delighted and glanced at the contents of the telegram. "Haha! I didn't expect such good things to happen one after another. Not only did our county produce a talented person like Lin Huowang, but it also produced a nationally famous poet.
However, Poetry magazine sent me the telegram this morning. Why are you giving it to me only now?
Isn't this a waste of time? He will arrive tomorrow at noon. What if I don't see Zhong Yuejin by then?
Look, which commune and which brigade this Zhong Yuejin is from, call him immediately and ask him to get up early tomorrow morning... Oh no! Send my car to pick him up tomorrow morning."
"It's written above that Zhong Yuejin is an educated youth from Linjiagou of the Red Star Commune." Ge Yu said with some guilt. After all, she really delayed the telegram because of her own affairs.
"Huh? Linjiagou again? I just took a quick glance and it looked familiar. Haha! That's easier.
I am also familiar with Lin Shuisheng, the secretary of Linjiagou, and the telephone line of their brigade has been repaired. I will call now..."
