In July, a lotus flower floats through the midsummer. In the evening, I was getting ready for dinner, and my phone showed that the express delivery had arrived. Judging by the date, I guessed that it was the female poet and Internet writer Zhuzi who I contacted a few days ago. The collection of poems and prose poems she sent has arrived.

Eager to see the contents of the book, I went straight to the courier room in the dormitory. ZTO's express delivery is very easy to find. I saw it in a black leather bag at a glance. As I walked and opened it, a book with a light pink cover printed with a cluster of green lotus and pink lotus came into my eyes like bright sunshine. Speaking of which, there is a little story about this book.

In the group of "Friends of the Rucheng Writers Association", I am a latecomer. I was a little flattered to be in the same group as all the big names in literary circles in the county. I don’t have any outstanding works, and I don’t have an official position in a cultural institution. I only have a sincere heart that loves literature. I got acquainted with Chairman Song of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles many years ago, and because of his two works "White Tea and Joy, I'm Waiting for the Wind, I'm Waiting for You" and "The Firewood Stove in Memory", I was favored by him, and I was fortunate to be invited. .

Only after a long time did I realize that most of them were county middle school teachers and leaders of various cultural institutions. Among them are many members of provincial and municipal writers associations, municipal couplets, music associations, prose poetry members, etc. The author I met, Zhu Zi, is a well-known local prose member and a member of the Provincial Poetry Society. I'm used to diving everywhere I go, and here is no exception. I usually pay attention to the dynamics in the group, and without exception I will read the chat content carefully to understand their opinions and thoughts. After long-term observation, I particularly admire Zhu Zi’s profound knowledge and her unique perspective in looking at problems and discussing literary creation.

She is also a member of the Municipal Music Association. I think the article will have more musical beauty. Search her circle of friends and learn more personal information. It turns out that she still has so much glory! He has been deeply involved in the literary world for decades and has written millions of words of works. I had heard of her poetry and prose collection "A Lotus Crosses Midsummer" for a long time, but I had no chance to see it. Now that I suddenly saw it in her circle of friends, I was very excited. It turns out that the writer I admire is right in front of me! Suddenly decided to get acquainted with this poetess and writer.

So she asked to be added as a friend, and after being approved, she shamelessly asked for advice, because we are from her hometown, and the content of her poems and proses were praising and feeling the mountains, rivers and rivers of her hometown, as well as the unique characteristics of her hometown. Customs, history and cultural landscape. Of course, there are also many authors' expressions of family affection, nostalgia, and love. I have only briefly glanced at them and haven't had time to read them in detail. In addition to talking about her works and expressing my admiration for her, I offered to buy her books to read.

I don’t want to, they are only willing to give it away. She also said, "I'm sorry for charging among literary friends." I actually wanted her autographed book. Her calligraphy works were posted in her circle of friends. The words are very beautiful! It’s no wonder that the people in the calligraphy association are not bad at handwriting. Furthermore, isn’t it also an honor to receive her works by mail from the author herself and read them? Paying the corresponding value is a matter of course. After several "arguments", I was defeated and happily accepted her gift! Since we have the same hobbies, why bother worrying about the little things all the time? This is exactly what I mean.

I learned more about Zhuzi’s literary creation path by reading the author’s introduction and the postscript written at the end of her book. Zhuzi’s real name is Zhu Jinping, and she was probably born in the 1970s. Speaking of literature, the initial germ came from her family. Her mother was an intellectual. After graduating from college, she worked as a teacher for decades. In the 1970s and 1980s, such life experiences and achievements were rare. Her father, who was born in poverty, cut and sold firewood to earn tuition fees when he was young. He went to junior high school in the county town and became one of the few "scholars" in the village, and was finally able to escape from the countryside. The influence of her family is undoubtedly important. Her parents' influence and teachings through words and deeds were the beginning of her interest in literature.

When she was studying, following the germination of this interest, she accumulated a large amount of reading. In junior high school, I met the head teacher and Chinese teacher who influenced her life. In almost every composition class, the teacher read and explained her compositions as model essays. I think this is infinite love and infinite affirmation for a student. When I was in middle school, I was treated like this by a teacher, but unfortunately I didn't persist. Zhuzi has been working hard, and her creative ability has been continuously improved. Poems, prose, and novels have been published in newspapers, magazines, and online platforms. She finally bloomed the beautiful lotus in her life.

An orderly life is the guarantee of writing. Enduring enthusiasm is also the guarantee for writing. Life has rarely been orderly these days, so writing has become a way of coping. I hate this state the most. After reading the author's narration in the book, I understand that writing is a long-term thing, and everyone will have either/or things. There is no need to worry and blame yourself, and there is no need to be afraid and uneasy and give up. If you straighten things out in your life and work in a timely manner and deal with them with lasting enthusiasm, then writing will become a pleasurable and meaningful thing for you.

The book is still warm and the fragrance of ink is still there. I would like to wish every lover of words to be like a lotus flower passing through the midsummer and bearing attractive fruits.
