Features: The third generation of Chinese poetry movement in the 1980s gave rise to numerous poetic groups and schools. Although the vibrant poetry movement has passed, it is undeniable that the outstanding poets active in the 1980s created poetic miracles. Their works have never been systematically and comprehensively published. This volume showcases the exceptional writing and linguistic marvels of ten poets, some already famous and others yet undiscovered. Nearly three decades have passed since contemporary Chinese poetry began in the 1970s. Despite the distinct spiritual atmospheres and material carriers of each period, poets have achieved remarkable accomplishments. These achievements have directly or indirectly influenced modern Chinese, bringing profound and significant changes to the language. As a written language, modern Chinese has gradually matured and refined through the efforts of several generations of poets. Over time, this will become increasingly evident. The purpose of this poetry collection is to trace the lineage of contemporary Chinese poetry, systematically and valuably introducing outstanding poets and their works, aiming to fill the void in mainland Chinese poetry publishing. The Quiet Revolver is Ji Mulangge's first poetry collection, presenting representative works from the poet's beginnings in 1984 to 2001. It offers readers and enthusiasts of Ji Mulangge's poetry a convenient way to read and collect his works. Ji Mulangge was neither a celebrated nor a prominent poet in the 1980s or 1990s. Over the past two decades, he has been secretly read and cherished by some as a poet among poets. His appeal stems from the unique qualities of his works. As a Yi ethnic person, his contributions to contemporary Chinese poetry have surpassed the boundaries of the "Non-Nonism" school, becoming a shared treasure of Chinese language art. The publication of this collection will allow more people to read the extraordinary works of an outstanding poet. Ji Mulangge is no longer a secret known only to a few.
