Humpback whales arrive in Hong Kong

Ye Si has become a major center of Hong Kong literature.
Liang Bingjun was a key figure in the development of Hong Kong's local poetry. He drew extensively on the influences of foreign modern poetry and Chinese new poetry since the May Fourth Movement. He was also inspired by early pioneers of Hong Kong modern and local poetry, such as Ma Lang, and thus viewed local customs from a fresh perspective. This was a positive attitude toward local customs, rich in detail, calm in tone, and free of resentment or anger.
——Huang Canran Liang Bingjun is a poet who truly practices the poetic concepts he proposed in his writing. His "poetics of discovery" echoes the Zen and postmodern views on language, that is, looking at the world in a "viewing things through things" way, restoring the original appearance of things in a concrete and detailed way in writing, rather than imposing abstract "thoughts" on things. Therefore, his tone is always soothing, consultative, and roundabout.
