Features: Although Duo Duo is renowned for his poetry, his career as a novelist began in the 1980s. During the first half of the 1990s, his novels reached a level of perfection. Some of his works from that period left readers startled and moved, with insights that were hard to articulate, timeless and tragic, leaving one speechless. These pieces are even more precious now, as the author suddenly abandoned fiction and returned to the realm of pure poetry. I have always firmly believed that if Duo Duo had persisted in his career as a novelist, he would have become a towering figure by now. This is not to say that this collection is not good—it simply lacks quantity. Yet I also remind myself that selecting just one from "Three Hundred Poems of the Tang Dynasty" was enough to ensure immortality in history. Why seek more?
