Zhu Yanjun won the second place in the Chinese Poetry Competition.
He was born in a village in Gansu. After middle school, Zhu became a migrant worker(农民工)in different cities, like many other people from countryside. What made him different was his strong love for poems and books. Whenever he was free, he visited bookstores and libraries. He wrote down poems and recited(背诵)them. Zhu only had a middle school education, but his love for reading began at that time.
Zhu worked at different building sites in more than 10 cities. “There is an old Chinese saying: Reading thousands of books is not as good as travelling thousands of miles,” Zhu said. “However, for me, although I have been to many cities, it is not for travel, but to make a living, so I know more about the world by reading.”
Because Zhu did really well in the poetry competition, the local government provided him with a job at the local cultural centre. Although he doesn't make as much money as before, he doesn't have to leave his hometown now.
“Money is not so important to me. One can live a decent(体面的)life even without lots of money,” he said.
