We loved and then forgot

★ The hardcover edition of the highly anticipated poetry collection "We Loved and Forgot" by poet Yu Xiuhua is re-released and now available! The collection features over 150 poems, showcasing the poet's increasingly mature writing. These poems reflect on love, family, and daily life, as well as her understanding and expression of new life experiences after gaining fame. In this collection, Yu Xiuhua continuously explores and expands her boundaries, with her personality becoming more distinct and her poetic language and experiential distillation becoming more precise. ★ Her poetic experiences often strike deep into people's hearts, possessing strong evocative power. Yu Xiuhua's poetry grows from her unique upbringing and life experiences. It carries the rustic charm of the village and land, blended with a woman's rich and sensitive emotional nerves. Her poetry often has a resilience, neither flattering life nor compromising with fate, but rather a composure that accommodates suffering. ★ Yu Xiuhua's first poetry collection, "Moonlight Falls on My Left Hand," sold over 100,000 copies within a month of its release. Subsequent poetry collections, "Wobbly Human World" and "We Loved and Forgot," have also won the favor of many readers. After the poetry boom of the 1980s, contemporary poetry retreated into small circles, making it difficult for the general public to accept and understand. However, the strong sales of Yu Xiuhua's poetry collections can be considered a phenomenon in recent years' poetry world, allowing poetry to enter the reading lives of more people. ★ During the CCTV Host Competition in late 2019, contestant Li Shuang, using the theme of persistent life, spoke about Yu Xiuhua's life persistence and her poetry collection "We Loved and Forgot," opening the hearts of listeners and bringing renewed attention to this poetry collection. ★ The cover is elegant and exquisite, designed by renowned designer Shang Yanping. It's a hardcover, small-format book, convenient to carry; Smythe-sewn binding allows the poetry collection to lie flat. High-quality paper, simple and comfortable text layout, and several color illustrations. It possesses high reading and collection value. ◎ Content Introduction This book is the new re-release of poet Yu Xiuhua's third poetry collection. It includes approximately 150 classic poems, presenting the poet's consistent reflections on love, family, and daily life, as well as her understanding and expression of new life experiences after gaining fame. Compared to the poet's first two poetry collections, in this one, the poet's personality is more distinct, and the poetic language and experiential distillation are more precise, which can be considered the fruit of the poet's increasingly mature poetic writing. ◎ Celebrity, Expert, and Media Reviews Yu Xiuhua is a very essential poet. Her poems demonstrate a valuable and unadorned insight into many things in the human world. There is a rare resistance to poetic conventions in her writing; she is both sensitive to current poetic trends and consciously wary of their pull. Most importantly, her writing is very unadorned, with a rough, vibrant sensibility hidden in her words, which I think is already quite remarkable. — Poet, Peking University Professor Zang Di Yu Xiuhua said: "Poetry is useless, but poetry leads to the soul, and the soul can only be understood by oneself." I cannot write poetry, so I occasionally place my soul in her poems. Her poetry is far more thrilling, brighter, and crueler than she and her life. In her poems, I feel at ease, just like her, "just patiently living, neither healthy nor happy." For me, this companionship is incredibly precious. Presumably, she knows this is the meaning of her poetry. — Host Chen Luyu I like Yu Xiuhua's poetry; her poems are organic poems grown from the earth. "Writing poetry in the clouds, living in the mud" is also a phrase I draw inspiration from. — Singer Li Jian In an age of affectation, sincerity has become a scarce resource. In this sense, Yu Xiuhua's poetry is nothing short of heavenly music. — Scholar Yu Guoming I've read little poetry in recent years, but I feel it's truly hard to find anyone who surpasses her. Every line could only be written by her; they are all her logic and feelings. Reading through her sentences, every sensitive and numb nerve in your body will be touched. — Poet Jiang Yuhuo Yu Xiuhua sits in her own world, regardless of circumstances, regardless of identity; she is simply such a pure poet. — Poet Ma Deng Many of us might feel that poetry is an extremely elegant affair, even a bit distant from our lives. However, there is this rural woman who has lived in the countryside for a long time, with a physical disability. Yet, she has transformed the growth in the soil, the hopes on the doorsteps, into the most powerful verses. — From "The Reader" program
