Ke Yuming, a "generalist writer"

Many years ago, when Ke Yuming was editor-in-chief of Nane Evening News, I said to him in a small talk: You are the most suitable to be the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Cultural Associations. First, you have high political quality. You have been working in the cultural propaganda department, and you can grasp the importance of literary and artistic creation. Second, you have a lot of art and literature, and you know all kinds of literature and art. Sure enough, a few years later he became the chairman of the Xianning City Federation of Arts and Culture. It's not physiognomy. It's not a joke. My judgment is based on my reading of Koh-ming.

He will grow older than me in the next year. When I knock on the door of the literary world with my pen, he has achieved a lot and is a leading figure in the Xianning literary world, along with Liang Bowen, Rao Qingnian, Liu Mingsheng, and Yang Ji.

When I say Ke is an "all-rounder", I am not lying. I am not trying to magnify his talents, let alone fawn over him. He doesn't pay me. He doesn't pay for my work. I say this after years of reading his literary works in various media. However, Ke always humbly said: which have what all-rounder, I just love a wide range of it.

He's "complete" is first reflected in his extensive literary genre. He has been engaged in literary creation for more than 30 years and has made fruitful achievements in poetry, prose, essays, novels, plays, screenplays, reportage, and other genres. His published works amount to more than 3 million words, 10 published works, and more than 30 award-winning works (part). More than 200 works have been reproduced and selected into more than 40 kinds of anthologies.

He's "integrity" is also reflected in his extensive interest in other art categories. He is fond of music, calligraphy, fine arts, photography, folk literature, and art, and is a member of the provincial musician and calligrapher Association. He can play Guzheng and is "the first person popularizing Guzheng in southern Hubei". He can play hulusi, and is a member of the Chinese Hulusi Society, Xianning City Hulusi Society president. He can compose music and has composed more than 50 songs and instrumental music. Moon Bay is rated as one of "my favorite famous songs of Xianning". He also studied recitation and performance, singing Beijing Opera, with a definite eye; Read on stage, vivid.

He's "integrity" is also reflected in his "dual role" in both politics and literature. In these years, from the president of the newspaper to the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Cultural Associations, he has been dutiful and devoted to his duty. He has worked hard and started his own business all the way, and his achievements have become the highlight of the province. As the chairman of the Xianning Writers Association, he is willing to be a "literary volunteer". For many years, he has organized a remote literary pen club and led Xianning writers to "travel ten thousand miles" and visit more than ten provinces and cities. He organized Xianning writers to create and publish "This is My City", "Buried Mountain scenery", "Hot Spring song", "footprints in southern Hubei" and so on; Organized the "Xianning Literature Prize" evaluation activity, selected "Xianning" "ten outstanding writers" and "ten outstanding young writers"; Relying on THE literary PUBLICATION "Nine HEAD BIRDS" edited by him and carrying out literature training in various places, he has cultivated a large number of literary talents in southern Hubei.

It can be seen that Ke is determined to pursue "perfection". In addition to literature, he also studied philosophy, aesthetics, journalism, and literary criticism. He published more than 60 pieces of literary criticism in the media at all levels and published the book, Meipi Sven. He has broadened his life and worked as a teacher, photographer, film projectionist, professional scriptwriter, and chief editor... He has been deeply involved in the border areas of Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi provinces, and has become "the first person to cross the Mufu Mountains on foot", which has been reported by many national media.

This pursuit of "completeness" is to pursue the improvement of comprehensive quality and the enrichment of the spiritual world. He's comprehensive talent makes him feel at home in all aspects. The exploration of various literary genres helps him realize his literary dream. The integration of different art categories is conducive to the overall improvement of his artistic level; And the rich accumulation of life, lets him more deeply grasp the nature of life, experience thought, cast the soul, perfect moral character, and enhance the realm. In his body, the real embodiment of "Chongde Shangyi" and literati ethics.
