This is the final work of Huan Zhu Louzhu, a martial arts master. The book has 11 chapters, telling the story of the twists and turns of the "poetic saint" Du Fu.
By describing the dark and corrupt politics in the late period of Emperor Xuanzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty and the disasters brought to the people by the Anshi Rebellion, the author closely linked the country's misfortune with Du Fu's personal destiny, and wrote about the fate of a great poet who fell into poverty in a period of changing fortunes, especially the suffering of the people in troubled times.
The text of this book is beautiful and concise, and the structure is compact and powerful. It is a rare "poetry" epic of life.
Since the author is good at writing martial arts and is especially good at telling stories, and Du Fu's life is very similar to the author's own life experience, this book is quite fascinating and contagious.
In writing this biography, the author strives to have his own basis for every sentence and not violate history. Regarding some individual issues, some have adopted the conclusions drawn by past and modern Du Fu researchers, and some have been preliminarily analyzed or solved by the author himself.
Du Fu's writings about his era and his own life are full of blood, tears, and depression. However, readers who read his poems are not depressed because of this, but are often refreshed and high-spirited. Why is this? This biography may give you the answer.
Reader comments
This book resonated with me very much, especially because the author connected Du Fu's life with his own life experience, which made me feel the impermanence of fate. I just gave birth to a child, and in the process of taking care of the child, I also deeply realized that life is not easy. Du Fu's poems often make people feel gloomy and sad, but after reading this biography, I also understand his tenacity and love for life. This book is not only a literary work, but also an inspiration to life. I will recommend it to my friends so that more people can understand Du Fu's greatness.
