In China, many ordinary people have made extraordinary achievements in their respective fields because of their love and perseverance. Whether it's Yu Xiuhua, a peasant woman with cerebral palsy, or Wei Yong, a farmer from Hunan who has never gone to school, their stories inspire more people to pursue their dreams.
Today, let's step into the world of Danger and explore how this self-taught farmer turned his education into inspiration for poetry.
Wei Yong's family was not wealthy, and he was unable to receive a formal education due to his family's financial difficulties when he was young. However, in order to tutor his children's studies, Wei Yong began a self-learning journey. In the process, he developed a strong interest in Chinese characters and ancient poetry, especially Luo Bing Wang's "Song of the Goose" left a deep impression on him.
Since then, whenever Wei Yong has free time, he will immerse himself in the reading and research of ancient poems. Practice makes perfect, after familiarizing himself with "Three Hundred Tang Poems", Wei Yong began to try to write poems on his own, in order to practice and improve his attainments in poetry.
Among them, a poem called "Yongji" written by Wei Yong has attracted everyone's attention. After observing the chickens he raised, he was inspired to write this poem.
In "Song of the Chicken", he depicts the living habits of chickens in a minimalist language, which is vivid and full of pictures, making the reader feel as if they are in that scene. This poem won him the honor of China's second "Peasant Literature Award" and brought him a handsome prize.
However, despite Wei Yong's achievement, he also encountered criticism and doubts from some netizens. Some people think that "Song of the Chicken" is just a parody of "Song of the Goose" and that there is nothing innovative about it.
However, there are also many supporters who believe that it is very rare for an old rural farmer with no professional training to be able to create such a work with such limited cultural resources. More importantly, Wei Yong's tireless pursuit of knowledge and the spirit of never giving up are the focus of our attention.
In this era of rapid change, we often hear the adage "live to learn", but not many people actually do it. The story of Wei Yong teaches us that no matter how old we are, as long as we are determined to learn, there is nothing that cannot be done.
Wei Yong set an example for us with his actions, and he has spent his life proving the power of intellectual curiosity, curiosity, and the spirit of learning. This spirit deserves to be cherished and put into practice by each of us.
Finally, we need to remind ourselves that we should give more encouragement and recognition to the efforts and achievements of others, rather than being too harsh.
The story of Wei Yong shows us that a person's success is not only based on what kind of results he gets, but more importantly, how much effort he puts into it, and this process is often more valuable than the result.
