About Book

"The only thing that comforts me is that I don't hate. There is no hate in my poems."
A pioneer of modern Chinese poetry and an internationally renowned founder of modern literature, Shang Qin's first collection of poetry in simplified Chinese. A wanderer who transcends time and a sculptor who impacts the soul. [Brief Introduction]
He worked as a temporary dockworker, gardener, truck driver, and even sold beef noodles. Starting in 1960, he published poetry under the pen name "Shang Qin," which shocked the literary world and earned him acclaim as one of the most important pioneers and founders of modern Taiwanese poetry.
Shang Qin's poetry is small in volume but of high quality. His prose poetry, combined with his surrealist style, often allows him to express a profound imagination beyond reality within the most realistic of subjects, imbuing his poetry with a combination of cool self-reflection and compassionate sympathy. Nobel Prize judge and renowned sinologist Ma Yueran once called Shang Qin one of Taiwan's most important modernist poets.
This book is the first simplified Chinese version of Shang Qin's works. It fully includes all the published poetry collections and other scattered works published in newspapers throughout the poet's creative career, in order to fully present this monument in the history of modern Chinese poetry to readers.
【Editor's Recommendation】

Along with poets like Li Xian, Luo Fu, and Zhang Mo, he brought modern Taiwanese poetry to its peak and promoted it worldwide. This book is Shang Qin's first collection of poetry published in simplified Chinese.
◆Shang Qin's works are few in number but of high quality. He wrote only more than 200 poems in his lifetime. This collection includes all the poems in his creative career, and also includes a chronology of his works and an index of related comments, presenting a complete picture of Shang Qin's poetry.
◆Shang Qin’s poems are famous for their surrealist style and prose poetry writing techniques. His poems are like a bird with a distorted tune, emitting sounds of indignation and sorrow between history and reality.
【Celebrity Recommendation】

He is the most advanced and accomplished poet among us, and a role model for us. —Yu Xuan The poet has passed away, but his poems will live on, accompanying generations of readers as they "look forward to the years." —Lin Hwai-min
