For more than 30 years, the 50-year-old Zhu Yanjun had been a migrant worker (外来务工人员) in different cities like many other people from the country, but what made him ▲ was his strong passion for reading poetry and books.
In early February, 2023, Zhu became well-known when he became the runner-up in the annual Chinese Poetry Competition hosted by CCTV.
Zhu's passion for reading came from his Chinese language teacher in middle school who has published many articles in magazines.
“I also wanted to publish stories, so I started to read, and borrowed books from friends and classmates,” he said. Born in a village in Jingning County, Gansu Province, Zhu had never left his hometown in his youth. After graduating from middle school, he became a migrant worker.
Zhu worked in more than 10 cities, yet no matter where he was, he went to local bookstores and took a notebook with him in order to write down paragraphs from the books and recite them. Over the years, he has read thousands of poems and can recite more than 1,000 of them.
“There is an old Chinese saying, ‘Reading 10,000 books is not as good as travelling 10,000 miles,’” said Zhu. “However, for me, although I have been to many different cities, it is not for travel but to make a living. So I improve myself by reading books and poems.”
Reading poetry helps Zhu stay calm and he never complains about hard work. “Whenever I face any difficulty, I think of the famous quotation, ‘Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it,’” he told China Daily.
Because of his good performance at the poetry competition, the government in Jingning County decided to hire him to work at the local cultural centre. He started to work there on 10 March.
