Features: This book continues the legacy of our publishing house's "New Misty Poetry Anthology," reviewing the Third Generation Poetry Movement that emerged after the "Misty Poetry Wave" in the 20th century and before the "90s Poetry." The term "Third Generation Poetry" refers to a concept with specific direction and connotation. Its unprecedented rebelliousness has led to a lack of sufficient understanding of its relationship with tradition. In reality, its nomenclature is a self-positioning within the history of Chinese New Poetry, and its poetics and artistic exploration have completed the journey of "Human-Hero-Individual" in 20th-century Chinese literature. In terms of aesthetic style, its calm objectivity, holistic presentation, and emphasis on sensory perception have also provided a new artistic quality for the history of Chinese New Poetry. This book reviews the Third Generation Poetry Movement that emerged after the "Misty Poetry Wave" in the 20th century and before the "90s Poetry." It includes works such as "Thanking My Father," "Soliloquy," "Waiting for Dawn," "This Night, Rain Will Arrive," "Praising Labor," "Our Friends," and "Have You Ever Seen the Sea?"
