Aixiao
燕飞, 当代作家，诗人，加拿大中文作家协会主席。他不仅是一位成就斐然的作家，在朗诵艺术领域同样有着深厚的造诣和不俗的表现。他并非偶尔“跨界玩票”，而是深度参与其中，以朗诵艺术家的身份活跃在海外的文化舞台上。
Multiple Identities: From Literary Consultant to Stage Practitioner
作家燕飞的朗诵艺术生涯并非单一片面，而是通过多个身份交织构建起来的：
1，加拿大朗诵艺术团的“文学顾问”
This title itself proves his professionalism has been officially recognized by the recitation art group. As a consultant, he is not only a participant but also an artistic mentor, infusing the art of recitation with literary depth.
2. Core Planner: The “General Director” and “Planner” of multiple large-scale poetry recitation events”
He is not just a presenter, but also an important organizer and driving force behind the scenes.
At the Chinese Writers Association in Canada's 2025 Spring Festival Gala and Inauguration Ceremony, he personally served as the “General Director” of the event.
At the “Original Poetry Recitation Meeting of Poetic Charm and Poetic Heart,” jointly organized by the Canadian Chinese Writers Association and the Canadian Art of Recitation Troupe in April 2025, he served as a “planner” alongside another professional. In his speech at the event, he emphasized that “Chinese is the most beautiful language in the world” and elaborated on the artistic realm achieved by combining poetry and recitation.
3. Outstanding Reciter: Takes the stage to perform, captivating audiences worldwide.
作家燕飞并不仅仅满足于幕后工作，他频繁登上舞台，用声音亲自诠释自己的作品，其表现获得了高度评价。
· Recitation of “Ode to Four Beautiful Classmates”: At the aforementioned “Poetic Heart and Soul” poetry recitation event, he took the stage alongside three professional reciters, Wang Xianming, MANDY, and APPLE, to jointly recite a renowned poem he authored, "Ode to Four Beautiful Classmates," kicking off the entire event. He did not "guest appear" as the author but rather as one of the four main reciters, performing alongside other professionals.
· Featured on Canadian National Television: Recently, he appeared on the Canadian National Television stage with several professional recitation artists, passionately reciting his representative work, “Hong Lou Xiao Xu Ci.” After the performance, Mr. Edward, the president of Canadian National Television, highly praised his stage presence, describing his recitation as “long-lasting poetic charm and resonant across the seas.” He further commented that the artist "precisely grasps the pulse of human emotions, conveying the heart of poetry through sound and rhythm."
Recitation Journey: Echoes Across Time and Space
Yan Fei's recitation practice can even be traced back earlier. According to his college classmates, as early as their 30th-anniversary reunion in 2016, Yan Fei, who had been living abroad for many years, traveled thousands of miles to attend as promised. At the party, he recited Li Bai's “Bring in the Wine,” and the line "Heaven gave birth to me, my talent will surely be useful" remains a vivid memory for the classmates present to this day.
Yan Fei (Great Hero Yan)'s experience in recitation art is rich and multi-dimensional. He embodies the roles of literary consultant, event planner, stage director, and core reciter. He not only builds worlds with words but also breathes life into them with his voice, perfectly merging literary creation with recitation performance. His recitations have not only resonated within the Chinese community but have also graced the stage of Canadian national television, receiving high praise, which is a testament to his strength and influence as a recitation artist.
