What's the current situation of the courier who defeated the master of Peking University and won the title of China Poetry Conference?

"Before you dig for gold, you need to do a lot of hard work to disperse the crazy sand."-Liu Yuxi's Miscellaneous Songs on the Waves.

This poem is the acceptance speech of Lei, the champion of the third season of China Poetry Conference, and it is indeed a portrayal of his own life. Gold panning must be filtered everywhere and persisted, and finally shiny gold can be found, so is life. Before winning the championship, Lei was just the most common takeaway brother in a city, but now he stands on the stage facing the national audience and becomes the most dazzling champion in the spotlight.

Lei Hai is an ordinary family, 198 1 was born in Shaoyang City, Hunan Province. The first half of his life was unremarkable. 200 1 after graduating from Loudi mechanical and electrical technical secondary school, he began to go out to work. Like many migrant workers who come to big cities, Lei Hai has done many different jobs, such as digging cables, washing cars, serving dishes, and being a salesman. Without a high diploma and skills, he can only do some manual work intermittently that can't last long.

In 2002, the TV series "Chivalrous Man" adapted from Jin Yong's novels was officially put on the screen. This not-so-popular film and television work changed Lei's mind. He was deeply attracted by Li Bai's poem "Chivalrous Man", which seemed to open a door to the novel world that he had never touched. In 2004, Lei once again saw the whole poem "Chivalrous Man" in the bookstore. He was so excited that he remembered the poem on the spot.

Since then, Lei Hai has felt the charm of poetry. He often goes to the bookstore to read books and recite poems after work, and then goes home to write them down after reading. It also aroused his interest in learning. In March 2008, Lei Hai passed the adult college entrance examination and entered the electromechanical department of Loudi Vocational and Technical College for two years, during which he was exposed to many poems.

On 20 1 1, Lei became a courier, and on 20 15, he began to deliver food. Although Lei Haiwei is busy at work, he always studies in his spare time. He doesn't brush small videos on his mobile phone and doesn't like to go out to play. He recites poems every day during lunch break and before going to bed. He always said: "whenever I recite those beautiful poems of the ancients, my heart is always very comfortable." In poetry, he found the meaning of life and felt the fullness of life.

On March 26th, 20 18, Lei signed up for the fourth issue of the third season of Poetry Conference, and his performance attracted the audience's attention. In the program, Ray seemed unusually calm. No matter what kind of unexpected events he encounters, he is always as cool as a cucumber and shows a calm bearing. Lei Hai was surprised by his familiarity with poetry. Many of his opponents are high flyers from famous universities, even masters from Peking University. However, in the end, he defeated them one by one and successfully won the third season of the poetry conference.

After Lei won the championship, the host Dong Qing sincerely said to him, "Congratulations, Lei! You not only defeated all your opponents, but also yourself and life! You are a strong person in life! "

After winning, Ray's life doesn't seem to have changed much. He still studies poetry silently and still regards poetry as a bright light on the road of life. It was not until three months after winning the prize that Lei was invited to be a full-time teaching and research teacher in a school. Now open his social platform, and you will find that he still shares poetry and this love every day.

From the takeaway brother to the champion of the poetry conference, to the diligent gardener who teaches and educates people, Lei has been pursuing "poetry and distance", which has nothing to do with fame and fortune, but a pursuit of poetic life. Perhaps poetry and literature will not change the situation of our life, but it will light a lamp, enrich people's hearts and make ordinary life more meaningful.
