My father fell in love with a woman when he was young. She was twenty-eight years old and her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and when she walked from the river, her waist was as thin as a willow tree. My grandfather paddled a boat full of dung water. His eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't move away, and his hands holding the oar became panicked. It was difficult to stand firmly on both feet, and he almost fell into the sewage in the first cabin. It took eight villages to transport a boatload of dung water back to the fields. My father had long since lost the thought of picking up dung and fertilizing it. All he could think about was the girl with braids, wondering how he could see her again.

"Fishing Drum" selects various representative literary works created by the writer and poet Miao Kegou during his mature period, and more comprehensively demonstrates his rich harvest in the fields of poetry, novels and prose. It is divided into several series such as "Eight Topics of Novel", "Ten Chapters of Prose", "Hundred Poems" and "Treat Poetry as Medicine? (Poetry Theory)". Although the themes of the book are diverse, they all point to the origin of writing in his hometown of Shiogrō. The somewhat magical and mysterious life of a fisherman, the slightly legendary folk fishing drum artist, the drum lyrics that fully reflect the local culture and customs, etc., Are the unique imprint of Muke's novels and poems. Critics believe that Miu Kego's works generate fresh and unique intentions and imaginations full of ocean flavor, with clear recognition and unique anthropological and custom history value.

Miu Kego's works are full of the presence of personal life experience and philosophical thinking of aestheticism. In particular, his writing of "family history" and "biographical sketches of ordinary people" generated fresh and unique images and imaginations full of ocean flavor, which are highly recognizable. Among the poetic works, "Family of Salt", "Back to Salt", etc., They have specific and rich aesthetic transformations and poetic expressions of the salt people's unique personality, details, and life forms in the sense of anthropology and cultural customs history. They are precious because they penetrate into a field that has rarely been cultivated in poetry writing in my country for thousands of years.
