Lonely Du Fu
by Little Boy In The World Of Mortals
About This Novel
When he sent 736 poems to the world, he received only 16 replies This is no ordinary biography of a poet. This is a thrilling "social experiment": if you regard Du Fu's life as a web of poetry, you will find that there are 736 affectionate "letters" hanging on this web, but only 16 weak echoes hang down. The novel uses a unique data perspective to reveal the truest loneliness under the aura of the "Poet Saint". The 24-year-old Du Fu took over Li Bai's sword at Luoyang Bridge and also took over the prophecy "Your poems are stones". In the next thirty years, he presented poems in front of the dignitaries in Chang'an, in the flames of war, and in the autumn rain in the thatched cottage - treating poems as coins thrown into the times, but he almost never heard the echo when they landed. But it was this huge silence that created his most deafening voice. This book follows in the footsteps of Du Fu's poems and witnesses how those unreceived affections precipitate into the blood and tears of "Three Officials and Three Farewells", and how those conversations that have nowhere to rest crystallize into the brilliance of "Eight Poems of Autumn Xing". When social interaction completely fails, poetry reveals its ultimate mission: not to gain resonance, but to become the hardest stone in the riverbed of civilization. Open this book and you will witness how a great soul completes himself in "invalidity" - because true greatness often begins with singing that does not stop when no one responds.

I finally found out what Du Fu was like. Du Fu transformed from a poet on paper into a living person. Such a good novel should be listened to and read.
