Literary evening «My three happiness» dedicated to the 90th anniversary of M. Makatayev

On February 6, 2021, there was held a literary event «My three happiness» dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the outstanding Kazakh poet M. Makatayev, organized by the 3rd year students of the specialty «Kazakh language and literature in non-Kazakh-language schools» of the Department of Kazakh language and literature named after Academician S. Kirabayev of the Institute of Philology and Multilingual Education.

Students discussed the thoughts of the poet, whose credo and attitudes were the following lines: «Make a place for me, big world, I`m coming, I have not yet taken payment from you», «I will not give up being a man», «My strength is in Kazakh verses». They tried to understand the state of the poet, who returned to Kazakh poetry an unpretentious verse, decorating it with his talent and skills; rightly complaining that he was deprived at the celebration of life.

During the event, the verbal images of the poet in his various life stages were re-created, like the boy Mukagali, who endured the hardships of the war; a young man glorifying love; and finally the poet, who recognized poetry as his twin. The poet`s poems about love for the Motherland, for his people and his mother were read as well. We hope that such verses of the poet as «Make a place for me», «Happiness is», «Father», «Just a poem», «Remember me», «Mom, you are happy, thus do not cry», «You do not feel», «Be patient, be patient», «Motherland», «In the hospital» and others reached the hearts of the evening`s participants, proving their author immortal.
