Features: This poetry collection includes works by thirty-nine poets. They come from different regions and countries, yet share a common title—“Chinese.” These Chinese living in Australia, this land of freedom and beauty, whether they come from the Great Wall or beyond, the Yangtze River or the south, the foot of the Ali Mountains or the shores of Lake Riyue, or the banks of the Mekong River, who once faced the wrath of the sea, or from the fragrant harbors of the Pearl of the East, all have an inseparable bond with the Muse. They are descendants of Huaxia, offspring of Yan and Huang, and the successors of Qu Yuan and the Li and Du. Among them are seasoned poets whose talents are still sharp, as well as a vibrant and diverse generation of middle-aged and young poets in their prime. Of course, there are also the deep and graceful, the literary and elegant, the blossoms of the poetic garden, competing in beauty and splendor.
