Why...are my eyes always filled with tears...?
Because I... love this land so deeply..."
At that moment, the assistant standing behind Xu Lu murmured the last two lines of the modern poem.
Even with her not-so-high appreciation skills and understanding of poetry, she thought these two lines of poetry were really well written.
"Mr. Xu is too amazing. I just heard someone write a song called 'Desperate Land' to challenge him."
He only thought for a few seconds, and then wrote a better modern poem..."
The assistant's eyes were not filled with tears, but rather with admiration.
Xu Lu, who was sitting in front typing away on the keyboard, didn't notice the expression on his assistant's face behind him.
He typed out the song "I Love This Land" and posted it on Weibo.
Of course, I didn't forget to tag @that so-called 'Master Lin' either.
It's just a poetry contest.
Come on, come on, I have a lot of poetry in my head, whether it's ancient or modern poetry, I'm really good at it!
...
After all, this is something that many people are concerned about.
As soon as Xu Lu posted on Weibo, it was immediately seen by people in the industry.
At first, everyone thought that the kid would not have any more inspiration, especially after a whole night without any response.
But to my surprise, Xu Lu suddenly responded early in the morning.
Moreover, when a group of industry insiders with considerable appreciation skills saw this song, "I Love This Land," everyone fell silent.
After a long silence, someone finally spoke:
"Incredible, absolutely incredible! Could a young man really write such a poem?"
"This poem is remarkable. At first glance, it seems quite hopeless, but it reveals a deeper level of hope..."
"After reading just a few lines, I felt that the title of this poem didn't match its content."
But when I saw the last two lines, I suddenly understood the poet's feelings.
Why...are my eyes always filled with tears...because...I love this land so deeply!
"These last two lines alone are enough to be passed down through the ages; this is not something an ordinary poet could write..."
...
"It's over! Master Lin will probably be overshadowed this time too. That person's poem is just too powerful!"
"Not bad. I originally thought Master Lin's 'Land of Despair' was already quite good, but... sigh!"
Their poem, "I Love This Land," not only has a more profound theme but also richer content.
"Yes, Master Lin's Land of Despair is entirely in a dark tone, which wouldn't have been a problem in itself."
But everything has to be compared; compared to this poem, Master Lin's poem seems like a pointless lament.
"As expected of someone who can write about 'a generation,' this song 'I Love This Land' did not disappoint me!"
...
People in the industry discussed the poem in Xu Lu's Weibo post, expressing their encouragement and appreciation.
After all, even the assistant felt this was a better poem than 'Desperate Land'.
No one in the industry dares to call black white.
Although Master Lin himself is an insider, he should theoretically be considered "one of us".
But the literary circle is inherently strange, as the saying goes, "literary people despise each other."
So everyone was actually happy to see him make a fool of himself.
However, because Master Lin has always had the habit of sleeping in late, he was unaware that he had already lost.
On the contrary, netizens knew about this before the expert did.
The comment sections under Xu Lu's Weibo post, and even Master Lin's Weibo post, have exploded:
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Compared to Director Xu's poem, Master Lin's poem is utter garbage!"
"That's right! I felt yesterday that Master Lin's poems were very strange, as difficult to understand as reading comprehension exercises."
But after I read Director Xu's poem, I understood what really happened—it was simply because Master Lin was incompetent!
"Haha, if Master Lin knew you said he's 'not good enough,' he'd probably be furious, right?"
"There's nothing I can do, I'm just straightforward. If it's no good, it's no good, there's nothing more to say."
...
"I was worried that Director Xu would run out of inspiration, but it seems that he can still handle it!"
"That's right. I think Director Xu probably didn't see it last night, otherwise he would have responded last night."
"Look at the title of Director Xu's poem, it's a direct slap in the face to Master Lin, it's so damn funny..."
"If you ask me, Director Xu's two poems are definitely worthy of being included in textbooks."
The poems are all so beautiful; children should all learn them. As for Master Lin's, well, let's just leave it at that!
...
Like other netizens, the girls in Daxu Culture's artist department are also paying close attention to this matter.
Yesterday, they all created alternate accounts and deliberately went to Master Lin's Weibo to cause trouble.
So when Yang's fans saw new updates on Xu Lu's Weibo this morning, they noticed it immediately.
"Hahaha, I knew Brother Xu would respond! Wow, this poem is really well written!"
Yang's fans shouted and shared the news with those around them.
Liu Yifei has a rather aloof personality. Although she was somewhat excited at this moment, she didn't shout and yell like Yang Mi.
She simply repeated the last two sentences in a low voice, her eyes brightening:
Why...are my eyes always filled with tears...?
Because I... love this land so deeply..."
"Sister Yifei, what are you muttering about? Tell me quickly, are you already impressed by Brother Xu's writing skills?"
