Features: To say that Niuxiqi is a poet, he should have found a gentle and tender female scholar. Even if he couldn’t find a female scholar, he should have sought a woman with knowledge as a companion. The problem is that his title of "famous poet" was only achieved when his second son was about seven or eight years old. Initially, he wasn’t successful. After graduating from normal school in 1979, he taught at the primary school in the county. In his spare time, he went to the cultural center’s writing group to learn poetry writing techniques. People told him that techniques come from life—just observe more and write more. Then he wrote and wrote, sending his poems to newspapers to get small pieces published, earning five jiao per piece. At that time, land contract was not yet popular in the northern mountainous areas, and the people were still quite poor. But even in poverty, young people had to get married and start relationships.
