He Has Been Reading Love Poems in Clubs and Marriage Market for 3 Years

他花3年在相親角讀愛情詩

Cao Zaifei, a teacher at Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, has been reading love poems on weekends and holidays at the Marriage Market in Shanghai Renmin Park since 2019. He was taunted as “being crazy”, and even driven out. 3 years later, however, he is now quite familiar to the senior citizens in the park, and some even join him to read poems. Mr. Cao also receives invitations from renowned clubs and museums to read love poems.

上海大學美術學院教師曹再飛，從2019年開始的每個週末和節假日，都會去人民公園相親角讀愛情詩，他曾被嘲諷“腦子瓦特了”（壞掉了），甚至一度遭遇驅趕。然而3年後，他成了相親角的“熟人”，大爺大媽們成為他的“讀詩夥伴”，95後、00後的學生們把這里當做文藝聖地，上海著名的夜店和美術館，也接連邀請他前往。
