Among them, the convex and concave collection of poems "Long live the labor-Statues for 129 craftsmen in China" was honored on the list. After that, Buwa was invited to share his creative experience with the subordinate units of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and the response was very good. On December 5th, a seminar entitled "Long Live Labor: Statues for 129 China Artisans" was held in Luodai.

Write a poem for each of the 129 craftsmen
Convex and concave have worked in the field of "third line" construction for 23 years and contributed the most beautiful youth to the "third line". To this day, convex and concave have always called themselves "third-line people." Therefore, when he received an invitation to write poems for craftsmen, he immediately agreed and soon realized that this was exactly the direction he wanted to write. After that, he interviewed one by one, got in-depth understanding and concentrated on it. Finally, he wrote a poem for each of the 129 contemporary craftsmen, each with 12 lines. These 129 craftsmen are the best in the national industrial teams, most of them are skilled craftsmen, experts or inventors who have won honors at the sub-provincial level and above, and there are many famous "great country craftsmen" with national standards. The oldest is 86 years old and the youngest is 26 years old. They come from aerospace, aviation, electronics, machinery, arts and crafts, drama and many other industries.
"Long Live Labor" (Jilin Literature and History Publishing House, September 2019) is a key support project of Sichuan Writers Association in 2019. The event was sponsored by the Key Works Support Project Office of Sichuan Writers Association, the Creative Research Office of Sichuan Writers Association, the Propaganda Department of Longquanyi District Committee and the District Federation of Trade Unions, and was undertaken by Chengdu Longquanyi District Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Luodai Ancient Town Hakka Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
At the seminar hosted by Ma Ping, Buwa first thanked the Office of Key Works Support Project of Sichuan Writers Association for approving Long Live Labor and holding this high-grade and unique seminar. Then he described the origin of writing this collection of poems and the principles of writing poems for craftsmen. For example, each of his poems is tailor-made for everyone. "It is not a general summary to write a job."

It is rare to use poetry to "portrait" craftsmen in the whole poetry world. The poet Xiong Yan said that labor is beautiful, workers are even more beautiful, and craftsmen who have their own special skills are a beautiful scenic line. However, it is not easy to express this beauty in poetry. In a short space, it is extremely difficult to write the charm of workers. This poses a great challenge to the poet as a "word craftsman". But he succeeded in extracting excellent lines of poetry from the earth, the sky, the factory buildings and the workshops. Xiong Yan also mentioned in particular that many craftsmen’s skills mentioned in convex and concave poems are "very valuable." For example, winemakers of different brands have written subtle differences. "

Ma Ping read the poetry anthology Long Live Labor from a unique perspective. "I read it as a novel. Because this collection of poems is full of human stories and the beauty of labor. " Let Wang Guoping feel admire, write so many characters, "it is difficult to write new ideas in every poem. But convexity and concavity find poetic eyes in every poem. " Professor Zhang Fang, on the other hand, made a theoretical speech on the topic of "the essence is at the end of the pen, but the ingenuity is difficult at hand". Jiang Lan, on the other hand, combed the thread of labor into poetry from the perspective of classical to modern poetry tradition. He mentioned that Li Bai once wrote a group of poems "Autumn Puge": "The fire shines on the heavens and the earth, and the red stars are everywhere. On the moonlit night of Lang Lang, the song moves in cold Sichuan. " This is a poem that describes and praises the smelting workers positively, which is very rare in the voluminous classical poems. "The uniqueness of convex and concave labor poems lies in that they break through the historical barriers of metaphysics and metaphysics, present labor as a person’s physical strength, mental strength and brain power devoted all his life, highlight the all-round fighting arches and details that constitute labor, and present the symphony of" strength and beauty "and" wisdom and beauty ". The convex and concave poems let us clearly see that the purest and deepest beauty in this world comes from the work of the earth and from the laborers who have gone on and on. "

In his speech, Lv Li said that it is a "grand narrative" with a distinctive creative theme to create statues of 129 craftsmen in China. The height of poem writing itself determines the difficulty of poem writing. If you don’t pay attention to it, you will fall into the pattern of "false, big and empty". "However, the convexity and concavity ensure the near-perfect poetic butterfly change of 129 works with high quality, which provides a successful reference for the positive energy of poetry writing in the new era." Peng Zhiqiang thinks "Long live labor" is an exploration of new industrial poetry in the new era. "There are many experiences in convex and concave work, among which he has participated in industrial production and management for many times. He is familiar with workers and respects craftsmen, so he has deep feelings, so he writes like a duck to water. I understand that when he wrote this work, he went back to the furnace again and became a worker again. " Li Yangzhou noticed that every character is twelve lines when he was reading the book Long Live the Labor. "I guess when planning this book, the author is like a senior craftsman thinking about a precise size. The 12-line poem, with title and introduction, is just a page number. But at the same time, these twelve lines also forced the author into a challenging space. Fortunately, Mr. Buwa was able to swim and have room to move between squares, and successfully drew the swaying posture of the characters in his pen. " Miao Yong mentioned in his speech, "There are 129 craftsmen living in the convex and concave heart. He has a subtle insight, is depressed in the middle, writes very little, and poetry has entered the hearts of the people."
