Competition Of Chinese Poems

A competition of Chinese poems sponsored by China Central Broadcasting Station has been held on each Sunday at 7:30pm. Many young people joined the competition. It is a great event. Those people are mostly young students. They can remember few thousand poems in their hearts. It is wonderful to do so.
Of course, we admire those young persons who can memories so many poems by heart, but on the other hand, we cannot agree that to spend much of their youth on the poems which are not very useful in their life today.
Our life has much to do on the thing to keep us alive. Poems are only for our pleasure for people who have leisure time.
It is better for everyone to learn pomes freely at their own liking, but it may not be necessary to organize a competition to draw attention from society which can get no benefit at all.
Poem is a kind of literature, not a philosophy. It does no help to guide our life. If we are too deeply falling down to poems, we may neglect some important duty which is essential to our life.
What we need is to learn something useful to keep our living to be good to the society. Literature is good in many ways, but we still have to know many other knowledges than literature in order to live our life perfectly.
