This book tells the story of the poet Du Fu, known as the "Poet Sage," and his life of hardship and misfortune. By depicting the dark, corrupt politics of the later years of Emperor Xuanzong's reign and the disasters the An Lushan Rebellion brought upon the people, the author closely connects the nation's misfortunes with Du Fu's personal fate. The result is the story of a great poet brought low and impoverished amid the upheavals of his age, with particular emphasis on the suffering of ordinary people in times of war.
The writing style of this book is very unique. Through the author's delicate description, I felt as if I was personally there and felt the twists and turns and misfortunes of Du Fu's life. Moreover, the author's writing style is concise and the words are precise, making the story vivid, interesting and attractive. I feel that this book not only tells the story of Du Fu, but also gives me a deeper understanding of the history and society of that era.
