Let us welcome Beijing’s Education Ministry’s Deputy Director, Chen Kun!”
“Also Beijing Writers’ Association’s Vice-President, Teacher Meng Dongguo!”
“Famous poet, Big Thunder!”
“Famous children’s fairy tale author, Little Red Mushroom…”
Every introduction was met with applause.
After the introduction, the host, Zhang Huo, said beamingly, “Before the poetry meet begins, let’s invite a few Teachers from the Writers’ Association to come onstage to recite a poem as an opening. We also wish that the listeners in front of the radio have a good and perfect family. May your dreams come true. And may you have the best of all reunions!”
The poem recitation for the opening was clearly prepared beforehand.
Meng Dongguo was first to go onstage, and then he lightly recited, “Many Mid-Autumns underwent, but together seldom spent. Compensating it today, mellow, as a momento.”
