Features: Gu Cheng (September 1956 – October 1993) was lifelongly called by the brilliance of the spirit, unable to enjoy material life; he faced the soul, the fleeting and ultimate questions of life, and his body and mind could not rest for a moment; he had sudden and continuous insights into philosophy, literature, painting, and music, and the ability to master them spontaneously without formal instruction. His surviving poems, paintings, calligraphy, and manuscripts are imbued with radiance, simple yet rich and profound, clear yet endlessly changing. Here are Gu Cheng's original-style poems and fable poems, unique and otherworldly.
