Features: Zang Kejia is one of the few poets in Chinese poetry who quickly captures and directly depicts the mists of the times with the brush of poetry. His literary career and creative journey almost keep pace with the 20th century that has just passed—Zang Kejia was born in 1905, and from a young age he was deeply passionate about literature, especially poetry. During his middle school years, he was influenced by the New Literature movement of the May Fourth period. In 1925, he began publishing prose, and in 1929, he started publishing new poetry, continuing to write until 2001. Therefore, through the study of him, one can gain insight into the development of Chinese new poetry. The author of this book attempts to complete a record of a poet engaging in dialogue with a history of new poetry and even literary history through the classified interpretation of Zang Kejia's poems.
