I plan to go to Hainan to attend the pen meeting. I am very moved by the enthusiasm of the brothers of Coconut Tree Literature Network. However, since July coincides with the students' holiday, it seems that taking the train has become a fashion, and too many people have followed suit and it has been packed. At this time, buying a train ticket to Zhanjiang is simply wishful thinking. In fact, there are two main purposes to go to Hainan. One is that the ends of the earth have always been my yearning place. The other is that I really want to meet some writers I like very much, Han Shaogong, Jiang Zidan, Li, chairman of Hainan Young Writers Association, and Hongzi, who calls me big brother.

When I came out of Hefei Railway Station, I felt a sense of loss. The idea of going to Hainan went up in smoke, which made me know once again that the plan has not changed quickly, but it is actually everywhere in life. However, the south of China has always been my concern, and this concern has become a clear knot, even a belief. When a worry has become a belief, it is futile to change it. So I resolutely bought a train ticket to Xiamen. I have always liked Shu Ting's poems. This time I decided to go and see Shu Ting!

The moment the train started, I suddenly felt very dizzy. The scenery outside the window slowly faded into a light. The sound of wheels hitting the tracks seems to come from a mysterious church far away. The voice is calling me-to go far away, although there are clouds and moons. ......

Poetic Xiamen

The mountains in Fujian are beautiful, although they can't be described as lofty, but the mountains all the way are always connected together, giving people a very cordial feeling, unlike the mountains in other places, which show isolation. Bananas in Zhangzhou are really cheap.

You can buy a bunch of them for one yuan, which is especially delicious and tender.

It was dark when I arrived in Xiamen, and it was close to dusk, but there was still traffic near the station. Yi Cao Xiong has stood on the podium and lied. He can hold a racket with my name on it. That night, he invited me to eat a very good Fujian specialty, boiled live fish. We agreed to go to Shuting in Gulangyu Island to see the sea the next day.

When we got up early the next morning, we walked out of the hotel and became the morning stop sign of the bus around the island, which could go directly to the ferry. Xiamen in the morning is especially refreshing and clean. The sea breeze blows through the window, white clouds are floating in the blue sky, and the blue sea is like a mirror, reflecting the beautiful and poetic Xiamen.

Soon arrived at the ferry terminal, although it was early in the morning, but the tourists were already woven. It is said that Gulangyu Island is a very attractive place for tourists, and about10 million tourists come here every year. This once peaceful place is now very lively. The first time I took a ferry to drift on the sea, I couldn't restrain my inner excitement. Looking from the railing, you can see a piece of Wang Yang, opposite to Taiwan Province Province. The towering chimneys of some factories are faintly visible, as well as things fluttering in the wind like flags, like brothers waving to us in the distance.

Living in the square of Gulangyu Island has an immersive feeling. Isn't this heaven? It is the lack of peach blossoms, but there are other flowers that can't be named, which are equally pleasing to the eye. The most unique is the octopus sculpture in the center of the square. Eight sharp claws stretched out in all directions, reflecting half a sentence of couplets to welcome visitors from all directions. Classical music is playing in the speakers in the square, which makes me feel very comfortable and at the same time at a loss-Gulangyu is so big and there are so many streets and roads, where can I find Shu Ting?

I had to relax and take a look at the scenery first. I found a very quiet place to sit down. At this moment, a folk poet came over and I talked with him for a long time. To tell the truth, I have always admired folk artists. It's really not easy for them to live and work in peace and contentment, never give in to embarrassing livelihood, and keep the last piece of pure cultural land in their hearts. I showed him some poems I wrote, such as Dead Butterfly, Stranger, Mimosa and so on. He watched them get excited, praised them and read them aloud, which attracted many curious tourists to watch.

Several teenagers asked me to write poems for them, and I readily agreed. Taking advantage of the emotion I just felt, I casually wrote that Gulangyu has no embankment. Suddenly, I saw a flock of seagulls flying by the sea, just matching the weeping willow leaves dancing with the wind around me, so I wrote down that one leaf hanging in the rain was Sha Ou, and I gave them to people who like poetry. They are still around me and refuse to leave, just to let me sign for them.

Look at the thatched cottage and Zhuge

It took a lot of effort to find the address of Shuting's house. Finally, the aunt of the grocery store said to me with a look of selling goods: "Her house is in that alley. I told you, I don't know if she will see you ..."

Cross Quanzhou Road, Fujian Road, then go to Longtou Lane, turn left and step into Zhonghua Road. Next to a row of ancient houses in Ming and Qing Dynasties, there is a deep alley. At the end of the alley, there is a door, which is ancient or modern. The door is unlocked. With a gentle push, the door creaked open for me. At this time, the eyes are bright, which is impressive and cheerful. A small yard is full of flowers and plants, and blue longan is swaying in the branches. Shu Ting lives on the second floor. Stepping on the stairs, there are countless flowers and plants in front of me, and orchids hang lightly from the railing, like a beautiful misty poem just written.

Knocking lightly, no one answered, knocking on one side again, still no one answered, maybe no one was at home, so I had to go back angrily.

I came again the next morning. I'm still a little nervous, and I can't tell whether I'm excited or afraid. Still knocking at the door, this time her aunt came out and asked me who I was looking for. I said Aunt Shuting was at home. She said she wouldn't go to the meeting. I asked her when she would come back. She said she didn't know it might be tonight or tomorrow. I said you should give her this bag of tea when she comes back. She said it was no good. I said there was nothing I couldn't call it, just a little tea brought from my hometown. She still refused.

"Aunt Shuting, I am a shy poet from Anhui. With reverence and persistence for poetry, I'm really sorry to bother you, but please forgive me. The main purpose of this visit is to discuss with you the present, future and development of new poetry. There is no present for you. This bag of tea was baked by my mother herself. So if you have a drink in the middle of the night when you are tired of writing, you can clear your head ... "

It was past ten when I came on the third day. I knocked on the door gently, but there was still no answer. I went downstairs again. I have to wait this time. I feel sure I can see her today.

Come to the door again, the future is bright.

I ran out and turned around again and didn't come back until two o'clock in the afternoon. This time, I didn't knock at the door, just sat downstairs and waited. After a while, her nanny saw me and I smiled at her. She smiled and nodded to me, and then entered the house again. After a while, a kind and radiant aunt came downstairs, and I looked at her. "How is this so similar to the photo on the cover of Aunt Shu Ting's poetry collection?" I'm thinking about it in my head, but I'm not sure. At this moment, a series of gentle voices came: "Soft wind, come in and sit ..." It was her, it was Shu Ting. I was a little overwhelmed. Should sound good quickly up the stairs, walked into the shuting home.

The mood at this time can only be described in four words-the future is bright.

Dialogue with Shu Ting (Present Situation and Future of New Poetry)

Rou Feng: Aunt Shu Ting, I'm sorry to bother you this time.

Shu Ting: No, don't be so polite. I'm glad you came to see me so far. At the same time, I am also very touched. It can be seen that you are a child who is sincere and persistent in poetry. Speaking of which, we are predestined friends. My aunt likes you very much, and you look very kind and aura. Seriously, I can't see many people who come to see me, not because I don't want to see them. The main thing is that everyone will see them and I will lose them.

Shu Ting: Sit down for a while, and I'll get you a glass of water. She said she brought me a glass of water and a lot of biscuits and other snacks. She really treated me like a child. ) I thanked her and she asked me: Have you eaten?

Jou-feng: (No matter what manners) I drank a cup of soybean milk and ate a big cake this morning.

Shu Ting: Auntie, cook for cork. Cork, why don't you come to breakfast? Loy has just arrived. I was going to wait for you. I will invite you to a restaurant for dinner so that I can introduce you.

Roufeng: Well, actually, I came early and knocked on the door, but no one answered. Yesterday, my aunt told me that you went to the meeting. I think you must be very tired. You didn't have the heart to disturb you during recess, so you didn't knock at the door again.

Shu Ting: Well, maybe we didn't hear it when we were chatting inside. Actually, I've been waiting for you to come this morning. I've been waiting for a long time, and now I'm finally here.

I'm really sorry (feeling a little self-defeating)

("Let's have dinner", her aunt kindly told me that Shu Ting and I are deskmates, chatting while eating, during which Aunt Shu Ting has been picking vegetables in my bowl)

Soft Wind: In the 1990s, China's new poetry culture was once brilliant. It can also be said that new poetry has reached its peak. At that time, many great poets like Gu Chenghaizi emerged. It can be said that you have brought new poetry to a new realm and a new climax. Can you describe the poetry circle at that time?

Shu Ting: The Chinese nation was in peril, and it was not like that after liberation.

Yao Taiping, our generation is very unhappy. We are catching up with that turbulent era, but we can't get rid of the hidden pain in our hearts, so we have a lot of wishes and longings. We are just stating, so this poetic expression has caused * * * in the hearts of too many people. The transition from turmoil to peace is a historical blessing, and we all know how to cherish it. At that time, it was easy for new poetry to find its roots in that atmosphere.

Shu Ting: China has always been called the country of poetry, but in fact, China, known as the country of poetry, can only be the Tang Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty, poetry began to decline, and Song Ci can only be said to be a derivative of poetry culture and a reflection of poetry. During the May 4th Movement, foreign cultures injected new vitality into poetry, and new poetry ushered in its first climax. This is also like a rock song in the early stage. The most important thing about its popularity is its discovery. But today, people have been clamoring for the inappropriateness of new poetry. Is this the influence of social environment? Modern people are rich in material life and like leisure life, while poetry belongs to the elegant and profound cultural category, so the living environment of poetry is greatly affected. However, in the current poetry world, poets are in their own way, but they can't find an exit. What do you think is the most important issue in China's poetry circles at present?

Shu Ting: At present, the main problem in the field of poetry is that poets despise each other. You despise me, I despise you, and poets despise poets. Popular culture such as novels is becoming more and more popular among citizens. As you said, poetry is out of date, and its living environment is really greatly affected, but this is not the main thing. After all, there are still many people who like poetry. If only the poets joined forces to work together. Unfortunately, this is difficult to do. At present, what is done on the internet is ok, and the internet can be regarded as a new road and garden of new poetry.

Shu Ting: Many modern poets. They only write poems for the sake of writing poems, not for the sake of life, which is very contrary to the purpose of writing poems. Moreover, postmodernists, such as their barbarians, brought new poetry into a misunderstanding. They did not learn the tradition well, and at the same time they did not make good use of it. Tradition and modernity are actually contradictory things. In the face of tradition, we can neither be rigid nor arrogant, which many old poets are not doing well now. The publication is centered on the circle, and it is difficult for people outside the circle to enter. Many works published in Poetry Magazine, Selected Poems, Star Poems and many other poetry magazines are unbearable for modern people, with no philosophy, artistic conception and aesthetic feeling. Is this a kind of sadness? From this, can you talk about the prospect of new poetry?

Shu Ting: Although there are many problems in the field of poetry at present, on the whole, the prospect of new poetry is bright. Who says modern poetry is not good? That's because they didn't read modern poetry with their heart. There are many young poets in modern times, and they are all excellent. So she ordered some poets, I can't remember. ) Their poems are also very good. The future is in our own hands, and we need to work together.

Family harmony, son promising.

Rou Feng: Your house is also very beautiful and unique. How many years have you lived in Gulangyu?

Shu Ting: I have lived for many years. Oh, I like this place very much.

Rou Feng: Then why do you have such a big cabinet of toys at home?

Shu Ting: My son played it when he was a child. Now that he has grown up, he can't throw it away.

Roufeng: How old is your son now? What is he doing now?

Shu Ting: 1983 was born, and now she is in college. He studied very hard and was admitted to the top of Xiamen in that year, which exceeded the score line of Peking University by a few points. But I was afraid to fill it out at that time. Only one early admission institution was filled in, and the result was accepted by Beijing Normal University. His article is also very good.

Roufeng: What does that uncle do?

Shu Ting: My husband, he is a critic and a teacher. He is in poor health these days. He is ill. He is swimming in the sea and his ears are wet. ("Go to the hospital!" ) Shu Ting said to her husband. Then her husband came out and they smiled at each other-a sweet smile. )

Foundation and source of interest

Shu Ting: Is the purpose of your long trip to see me? Is there any other purpose?

Roufeng: First, I came to visit you, and second, I came to ask for poetry.

Shu Ting: Looking for poetry? Your hometown is in Dabie Mountain. Are there no poems there? Why are you running around? A child, how unsafe!

Roufeng: Actually, poetry and vagrancy are inseparable. If you stay in one place for a long time, you will feel bored. At that time, you longed for a long journey. When you feel adrift, you will have a strong attachment to your hometown. Conversation with a strange mountain and contact with a strange water will have a completely different poetic feeling.

Shu Ting: That's because you are young! Young people like to be impulsive, but it's not a bad thing. Impulse is actually a kind of passion, and passion is very important for poetry. But you'd better go home early, lest your family worry.

Roufeng: Go home, go back to school, everything sounds the same. It's actually a very boring place. Teachers are platitudes, and many courses are boring. In fact, nothing can be learned in college, and college students often have a sense of complacency, thinking that ivory will grow when they walk into the ivory tower. In fact, after a few years, it is no different from when I first came in. The only change is that they turned their heads white.

Shu Ting: There are indeed many problems in education in China, just as you said, but since you are in it, you can't get rid of it. After all, there are too many people walking this way. You still have to study hard first and find a stable job after graduation, which is the foundation of your life. Only when you have the foundation of life first can you find the source of interest better.

Roufeng: Speaking of the foundation of my life, I think of something. Catchers are born with teeth and can eat quickly, and hands are born with food, which is also the foundation of standing!

Shu Ting: You child, how can you say that? /Too many people walk on the same road, so this road must have a reason for its existence. If you want to go through other channels, it will be difficult. People should be kind to themselves.

Care: some small things

Unconsciously, I chatted with Aunt Shuting for more than three hours, and all the basic questions were asked. She has a friend's party after six o'clock, so I won't bother her anymore.

Before leaving, Aunt Shu Ting gave me many things, including a book of her poems, a beautiful Jason Chung, a crystal globe embedded in a clock, and a bag of fruit. She said I was embarrassed to eat what she just gave me, so I took it with me on the way.

Finally, she handed me an envelope. She said it was a little money. You should buy something to eat on the way. I won't take anything. I got angry when she said whether you wanted it or not. I have to accept it again.

When I came out of Shu Ting's house, I walked very fast, just like I had wings under my feet, and I felt indescribably relaxed and happy. In a blink of an eye, I have reached the alley. Looking back, I looked at the poet's door and the small courtyard shaded by green leaves. I silently wish Aunt Shuting peace and happiness, and I wish you happiness forever. ......
