by Wu Yunxi
About This Novel
In the misty Republic of China not far away in history, the name of poet Xu Zhimo was closely integrated with Cambridge. Some people said that he was an immortal child in the world, while others said that he was a proud man who upheld the fairy tale world. When his life was forever fixed in the most glorious youth, the song "Farewell Cambridge" seemed to be his most high-spirited swan song. When everything settled and the picture of Xu Zhimo's life was slowly unfolded again, it suddenly became apparent that his short thirty years were filled with such rich and colorful joys and sorrows. Fortunately, he is accompanied by poetry. For a poet, this is the best solace for the soul. And for future generations, in the world of poetry, we can get to know a more real and full Xu Zhimo. Wandering in the clear waves of dreams, it turns out that life is around us.
