Preface
The current literature is in the era of novels. Compared with novels, poetry and prose are relatively silent. Because most readers nowadays like to read novels, and few people read poetry and prose, especially poetry. I am an exception. I like poetry and prose. Therefore, when I saw Jin Ming's works, I was very happy. On the one hand, this is because I like it, but on the other hand, it also contains my admiration - in today's era when novels are popular, Jin Ming still insists on writing poems and prose, and he wants to compile them into a book. This spirit of "going against the times" is commendable and moving.
And when I looked through the prose and poems, I saw Jin Ming's beating heart, and I seemed to see the shadow of my college days. I believe that Jin Ming is a poet because his prose is also full of poetry. Reading that article is a beautiful enjoyment, relaxed and comfortable, like sitting in the spring breeze. There are reminiscences of the past, as well as thoughts on life, ideals, friendship, and love, which bear his distinctive personal imprint, but still retain the unique charm of youth. Youth is the best period of life, full of vigor and vitality, and the articles at this time are full of tension and sparkle of clumsy thoughts. I like this kind of article because it contains uncarved and simple beauty, but it is also full of vitality. I believe that nature is beauty and youth is beauty.
Poetic life is beautiful, and being able to record it with poetry is the ultimate beauty. I envy Jin Ming because he did this. He used poems to record his love, his life, and nature. From it, I saw his romantic and happy love affair and his infinite love for life and nature. I began to envy his life again: I only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals. I think I am not the only one who feels this way, anyone who sees Jin Ming's works will envy him.
Mr. Lin Yutang said that the article should be like a woman's skirt, the shorter the better, and I think the preface should be even more like this. So I won't say much more, I just hope that Jin Ming can write more works like this for the readers.
