Reader comments

It's actually pretty good. I like Su Shi very much, but I don't know much about classical Chinese.

This book is great! Su Shi's poetry is simply amazing. His writing style is bold and free, which makes me seem to see the style of that era. Moreover, he is also an all-rounder, proficient in calligraphy and painting! In particular, he can still remain optimistic in the face of adversity, which is really admirable. This complete collection gave me a more comprehensive understanding of Su Shi, and I felt like he was like a friend of mine, kind and interesting. Recommended!
