As expected, Li Xuexin found the five-character quatrain called "Lovesickness" among the many submitted poems.
He sighed, feeling extremely envious of the talent of this young man named Li Xiaoyao. If he could write a poem like this, he would have no regrets even if he died now.
When Wang Weimin submitted the article on behalf of Li Changle, he did not use his real name, but instead submitted it under his pen name Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xuexin sent the poem "Lovesickness" to the judges group and said something.
"This poem won first place in this year's Cantonese Poetry Competition. Who agrees and who disagrees?"
There was silence in the group at first, as if everyone was shocked by the poem, and then a heated discussion immediately broke out.
"This poem! Could it be the latest work of some literary master?"
"This poem may seem simple, but it's actually the pinnacle of ode poetry. Who is this Li Xiaoyao? Why have I never heard of him?"
"It's incredible! I think it's not an exaggeration to say that this poem was written by a poet a thousand years ago..."
"This poem is number one, I think it's ok."
"I think so."
"I think that's fine!"
"It's really unfair that the Cantonese competition area has produced such a work. Even if it were in the national competition area, it would definitely take first place."
Wang Weimin looked at them in amazement in the group, and a look of relief appeared on his face. This kid Li Changle really made him proud.
"Since everyone thinks it's okay, this poem will be number one. We'll also post the top ten poems we've selected online through our official social media platform, and then let netizens vote to select this year's most popular Cantonese poem."
Li Xuexin decisively decided on the champion of this poetry competition. In this year's poetry competition, once Xiangsi came out, other poems would probably have no chance, and he himself didn't care about the ranking of other poems.
The gap is really too big to even think about comparing. Isn't this a dimensionality reduction attack?
Soon, the official self-media of the Cantonese Poetry Association began to publish the top ten poems of the year on the platform, and the first place was a five-character quatrain titled "Lovesickness".
Although the Poetry Association’s self-media account does not have a lot of followers, it still has millions of followers. Once it was released, many netizens left messages.
"Holy crap, how come there are still people writing five-character quatrains these days, and writing them so well? Awesome!"
"Using the most straightforward language to express the strongest emotions, this author named Li Xiaoyao is truly amazing."
"Red beans also symbolize love and longing, and are also known as acacia seeds. This poem, with its four lines and twenty words, uses declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentences respectively. Through its praise of red beans, it expresses the most profound and sincere longing for them. It is both a poem about objects and an expression of emotion. After all the years of the Poetry Competition, I would like to call this poem the best, comparable to the ancient poems that have been passed down through the ages..."
"I'm not as thorough in my analysis as the last guy. I just think his writing is beautiful. I'm going to change my WeChat signature again!"
"Don't you think this Li Xiaoyao looks familiar?"
"You know what, the name Li Xiaoyao sounds a little familiar..."
"I remember the protagonist of the Chinese Paladin was called Li Xiaoyao, and the author's pen name was Li Xiaoyao..."
"Fuck, this is impossible. Why is that bastard writing poetry instead of writing novels?"
"Original Poster, don't you know that he has just written a martial arts novel called The Legend of the Condor Heroes? He updates tens of thousands of words a day..."
"This author should have the same name, right? Is there such a person who can write online articles and ancient poems, and write so well?"
"No way, no way, is there really such an omnipotent person?"
"It seems to me that he has written two novels, one of which is currently being serialized. Both novels contain a lot of poetry, and both are quite good..."
"This guy is too perverted."
Netizens seem to have discovered something incredible.
Shocking! A certain online novel author actually has another identity, who is...
Men are silent and women cry! The unknown identity of a certain online writer.
The poem "Lovesickness" became popular on the Internet thanks to word of mouth among netizens.
"Have you heard about Li Xiaoyao's lovesickness?"
It became a hot topic on the Internet today, and then everyone naturally discovered this poem.
Then many people spontaneously used "Red beans grow in the south, spring brings a few branches" as their signature on social media platforms.
Xiangsi has become completely popular, and netizens have also exposed Li Changle's pseudonym on the Chinese website, which has once again boosted the popularity of Li Changle's novels.
Book fans were confused when they saw that the book review section was full of Weibo check-ins. Why did so many people come here to check in?
I went to Weibo and found out that this bastard Li Xiaoyao was not writing novels but writing poetry!
How can this be possible? Although writing tens of thousands of words a day for The Legend of the Condor Heroes is more conscientious than many authors, it is still not enough!
It has only been updated to the second chapter, The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. The content of this chapter makes everyone feel that this novel called The Legend of the Condor Heroes is extraordinary and the plot is well-linked.
There is not a trace of watered-down writing and the writing style is sophisticated. Book fans who fell in love with this story exclaimed that this is true martial arts.
The protagonist is slowly starting to appear
This guy actually has the energy to write poetry, which shows that he still has room for improvement!
Since we haven't been worked to death yet, we should work ourselves to death! Capitalism only needs oxen and horses, not rest.
How can one chapter a day be enough? If he still has the mood to write poetry, he should write two chapters a day!
So book fans began to ask for more chapters in the comment section, and the rich people, led by Brother Queqian, gave continuous rewards directly.
Brother Queqian really loves this martial arts novel. He even thinks it is better than The Legend of Sword and Fairy. The fighting is exciting and the plot is so intertwined that it is hard to stop reading. This is the real martial arts.
More! More must be added!
However, Li Changle couldn't see it, and even if he did, he wouldn't deny it. How could he expect Li Changle to work overtime?
The royalties from The Legend of Sword and Fairy flowed into his bank account continuously, helping him to make ends meet.
Li Changle updated The Legend of the Condor Heroes more out of love, just wanting people in this world to see more classic works on Earth.
Then you can earn some royalties from writing. When the money is enough, it is no longer money, but at most a string of nice-looking data.
Li Changle is not like the protagonists in novels. He has no intention of becoming the richest man, nor does he have the dream of building an entertainment empire. He just wants to live the rest of his life in peace and stability.
If possible, he would adapt it into a film or TV series, so that the classic works on Earth can become classics in this world as well. This is his mission.
Ambassador of Earth Culture Communication, this is how Li Changle defines his identity in this world.
As the word-of-mouth of the poem "Lovesickness" continued to ferment online, it began to appear on the hot search list and quickly climbed to the top ten in just one day.
