Reader comments
This "Anyang Collection" is very good! I especially like some of the poems in it, such as "The wind sets the night branches and butterflies are noisy, the rain is even and the spring garden is full of oranges and oranges", "It is necessary to guard against and comfort the three farmers, but the magic power is silent as if nothing", which feels natural and meaningful. Moreover, the author Han Qi is a very powerful person, and his experience and political views resonate with me. I think this book not only has high literary value, but also allows us to understand some conditions of that era. It is worth reading.
