Features: "Eastern Myth," a long political lyrical poem co-created by General poet Zhang Pang and young military poet Bu, is a monumental work with grand construction, rich connotation, sincere emotion, and overwhelming momentum. It is a massive scroll depicting the history of China in the 20th century and a three-dimensional symphony praising the 80-year glorious journey of the Communist Party of China. Standing on the peaks of the contemporary era, the poets gaze upon the river of history, retrieving shining gems from the depths of memory. Following the threads of time, they chant the dawn, remember the armed struggle, cherish the Long March, admire Yan'an, reflect on the War of Resistance, recount the liberation, depict the October scenery, narrate the pioneering stories, recall the bitter years, approach the truth, interpret the land, navigate through turbulent waters, shake hands with the world, play the green melody, and dream of the distant future—these poetic themes give rise to this passionate and majestic heroic epic. "Eastern Myth" is a monumental work with the grand theme of praising the Communist Party of China, a unprecedented epic in this genre, and it provides new experiences and artistic exploration for the creation of long political lyrical poems in China.
