Publishing Date: 2005-09-01
Features: This is a collection of poems by the renowned writer Shao Yanxiang, encompassing the majority of his classical poetry written from 1958 to the beginning of the 21st century. Most of the poems are published for the first time. Shao, humbly, referred to his poems as "doggerel" as he believed they were not worthy of the grand stage. Over the past forty years, his thoughts and feelings have been transformed into verses, including odes, self-revelations, and satirical pieces. Through these, one can glimpse the complex inner journey of an intellectual in New China, making it a personal "history of the soul." The appendices of the book include dozens of cartoons by the masters Ding Cong and Fang Tang, adding significant color to the entire work.
