Pay tribute to life with poetry

Liu Haiping

Poetry is a part of my life.

Poetry writing is a part of my life and poetry is the love of my life. Since college, poetry has been accompanied by all the storms and has become the source of power for me to keep moving forward. In the 30 years from college to now, I have been sticking to my position in poetry, and I have never left poetry for a day. Even in the lowest valley of my life, I have drawn strength from my poetry creation. For example, at the lowest point of my life, I saw dead leaves. Write: Even if you are dead, you should ring in the autumn wind/make the last swan song of your life/Even if you are dead, you should put on the wings of an angel/fly gracefully in the sky/show the last glory of your life/Even if you are dead, you should cover the earth with your body/achieve the most magnificent scene in late autumn/Even if you are dead, you will never give in to the arrogance of winter/you will eventually become one.

At that time, most of my poems were published in the print media, including Zhao Yan Evening News, Zhao Yan Metropolis Daily, Poet God, Hebei Literature and so on. In my opinion, people who love poetry are a group of people who love life, a group of people with noble and elegant souls, and people with alcohol and flame hidden in their blood. Poetry is a belief and a way to pay tribute to life.

Give poetry flying wings with sound.

At first, writing your own poems and reading your own poems are basically a state of narcissism. With the advent of the new media era, I am delighted to find many software for reading poems, such as music show, litchi, reading poems for you, and national K poems. , you can turn text works into audio works. Literary works are organically combined with reading, music and pictures, and presented to the audience in a three-dimensional way, which makes poetry show infinite charm, just like giving poetry wings to fly. At that time, I had a saying: Let our poems fly! During this period, I recited poems with various softwares, reveling in them and enjoying them.

Later, I served as the main creator and anchor of many online literature platforms, such as "Reading Melody Platform", "Cangyang Jiacuo Poetry Reading Platform", Qingfeng Poetry Society, Yu Xue Poetry Publishing, etc. I wrote poems, recited "There is a spirit called Wenchuan", and sang for the workers again. I opened the thin and dense leaves of He Jinliang and filled this bowl of wine. Among them, the recitation work "Salute! Academician Zhong Nanshan was broadcast on Life Frequency of Hebei Radio and Television Station in April, 2020, and won ten outstanding works of "The Most Beautiful Voice Come on Wuhan". The recitation work "Ask Buddha" won the first prize in the poetry reading platform of Cangyang Jiacuo, and the second prize in the 2020 China most popular reciter online grand prix.

Walking with poetry friends from all over the country, I am very warm and moved.

In the process of reciting poems with various reading software, I was also invited to join many online reading clubs and reading clubs. Especially during the epidemic in 2020, I had more time to interact with these poets and chanting friends in the group and was deeply infected by their enthusiasm and passion. Some of them are over 60 years old, while others are childish children. They watch various works in the group every day. Although their reading level is not professional enough, their seriousness and persistence make me feel that they are so respectable and lovely! I suddenly realized that recitation is not only a form of artistic performance, but also a high-spirited state of life and a symbol of mental outlook. Recitation can recite our spirit, the warmth and strength of the world, the great love and true feelings of the world, and I must stand firmly with them!

Many unforgettable stories happened during this period. In 2020, my classmate Sun called from Beijing and said that his good friend and poet Zheng Rongyao was only 47 years old, seriously ill, dying and unconscious. He usually likes my recitation. Sun asked me to recite his poem "Never Say Goodbye" in order to awaken the sleeping soul of the patient with my recitation. So, I recorded and recited "Never Say Goodbye" overnight. Unfortunately, my affectionate recitation failed to awaken the poet's sleeping soul. Soon, the poet Zheng Rongyao left us forever. I cried as soon as I heard the bad news.

There is also a poet friend named Chen Min who likes to write metrical poems. He said he had been waiting for my voice for a long time, and now he finally got it! He often sends me his poems and invites me to recite them. During the period, I constantly exchanged creative experiences and talked about everything, and became a close friend of long-distance love. Suddenly there was more than a month before the Spring Festival in 2020, and he never contacted me again. At that time, I thought maybe everyone was busy and didn't care too much. During the Spring Festival, I sent him a message to pay a New Year call. Later, I received a reply, saying: Miss Liu, I am Chen Min's wife. Chen Min passed away a month ago! At that time, I was suddenly blinded, only sighing that things are impermanent and life is fragile. I hope the deceased will rest in peace!

Another elder sister in her seventies told me that she had cancer and had been fighting it for many years. She insists on reciting every day, which gives her endless happiness. She gained spiritual nourishment in reciting, and only then did she summon up the courage to overcome the disease. She asked me to give her more advice on reciting skills, so we also became friends who forgot to make friends.

Reading poetry is not only a kind of love, but also a kind of responsibility.

In the real interaction with many poetry lovers, I feel that reading poetry is not only my lifelong love, but also my lifelong responsibility. At the beginning of 20021,the Recitation Committee of Hebei Literature and Art Research Association was formally established. I am very honored to be elected as the director of the Committee. Immediately after the establishment of the Recitation Committee, the "National Public Welfare Recitation Activity" was launched, and the "Poetry Recitation Class on the Same Topic" was opened. In the raging epidemic, we will live up to expectations, be brave in taking responsibility, and use the power of voice to convey warmth and love to the society. In the face of all historical events, each of us is an experiencer, and we are determined not to be bystanders. As a member of the Reading Committee of Hebei Literature and Art Research Association, we have the responsibility, responsibility and obligation to speak for the country! Do your best for your country! This is the state that a literary and art worker should have. I also expect more colleagues to join the reading club of Hebei Literature and Art Research Association. We are in the same boat, prosperous, and make unremitting efforts to build a scholarly Zhao Yan and a cultural Hebei!

On April 2nd 12, Liu Haiping, director of the Reading Committee of Hebei Literature and Art Research Association, was invited to be a guest in the live broadcast room of the dream stage of Hebei Life Broadcasting (FM89.0), and chatted with hosts LAM Raymond and Fang Fang about "paying tribute to life with poetry".
