Features: Poetry always shares the fate of the poet and its readers. When Chinese readers of modern poetry suffer, Chinese poetry inevitably becomes commercialized or wounded, wandering alone, silently retreating to the corner. However, today, I believe history has provided poetry with a vast space. From "eagles" and "crows" to all kinds of birds, they soar freely in the poetic sky. Their unique postures and distinctive calls both earn applause and leave readers dizzy and divided. Personally, I don’t think this is something to be overly surprised by. It proves that poets are exploring and innovating, much like the rainbow that appears after the storm. Just as we must tolerate the storm to admire the beautiful rainbow, we must embrace these explorations. Yu Jian is one of the outstanding pioneers in this field. This book is the author’s poetry collection, featuring works from 1975 to 2000, including "Your Heart," "Dreaming Tune," "Doom," "Moonlit Dianchi Night," "I Reencountered Nujiang at the Turn of Autumn," and more.
