Try to say something nice to make the sky brighter and make spring more like spring. Recently, the poetry collection "You Are Crystal, Winter, Grapes and Birds" published by Shanghai Translation Publishing House was presented to readers at the Beijing Book Building. The book includes 66 poems written by young writer Gao Yuan, which light up the light of all things with bright poetry and imagination, and compose hymns of life with childlike and clear and moving words.

Why did you choose these images as the title of your book? When asked this question, Gao Yuan replied without thinking: "This is the product of inspiration, without too much thought." Gao Yuan shared his creative experience: "I didn't intentionally create poems, mainly when inspiration came, even half-dreaming and half-waking, suddenly there were a lot of wonderful ideas and very imaginative, and I naturally wrote them down." ”

Open this collection of poems, between the lines is the poet's keen capture and romantic description of life. Gao Yuan has the sensitivity and affection of a poet, she will say reluctance and gratitude to the shared bicycle that accompanies her when the lock is closed, and she will be sad for the two dumplings that are frozen together and inseparable. These subtle thoughts have all been turned into verses - "Don't break up two dumplings frozen together, they have experienced the hardships of the cold together." Reading them, one can feel the youthfulness and beauty of the poet's language, as well as the care for the innocence of the heart.

Gao Yuan believes that the significance of reading children's poems for contemporary children is to "make children more like children". Children's nature needs to be protected and developed, and in this era of accelerating pace of life and blurring the boundaries between the virtual and the real, words close to nature, full of curiosity and imagination can protect their innocence and sensitivity. As Li Wen, chairman of the Shenzhen Aiyue Public Welfare Association, said, this is a collection of poems that grows from the heart, like a clear river, gurgling through the heart, like a clear sky, floating with white clouds, breaking into the eye.

During the interactive session, many young readers enthusiastically took the stage to read poems with the author: "I am the one who made the sea, drink this cup of white sea, I bet that tonight, I will dream of seagulls all over the world." The young reader asks curiously, "Who is the man who made the sea?" Gao Yuan replied: "It's the 'I' in the poem, the person who blows curiously on the milk in the cup, and everyone who has experienced these pleasures." ”

The moving text in You Are the Crystal, the Winter, the Grapes and the Bird is meant to bring life to life and splendor in childhood. It is understood that the book is a selected work of "Chen Bochui's New Children's Literature Laureate Book Series". The book series practices Mr. Chen Bochui's concept of "writing great literature for children", accumulates the power to lead children to "chase the light of the distance", and aims to encourage more creators of children's literature to adhere to the sense of innovation, strive to write Chinese childhood stories well, and bloom the light of literature for young readers in China and even the world.
