In the spring of 1946, I worked as a Chinese teacher in a primary school in my hometown. I was 19 years old. Under the influence of my close friends, I came into contact with a large number of classical poems. However, I found that most of them are works by male authors, and except for Li Qingzhao, Mrs. Wei, and Zhu Shuzhen, female authors rarely get the names of others.
Since then, I have begun to collect the works of female poets of all ages in China. In the process of collecting, I gradually discovered that in the Chinese poetry world, there are many talented female poets and stars are shining brightly.
So I came up with the idea of writing a "Selected Analysis of the Works of Chinese Female Poets of Past Dynasties". It wasn't until I retired in 1983 that I finally had the time to fulfill my wish. In the next nearly 20 years, although I was bedridden due to the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage, in order to fulfill a dream that started in my youth, I continued to collect, organize, and write notes on women's poems.
In order to become a gathering of famous ladies, they do not hesitate to lose their hair on their temples. Keeping this book alive will comfort me even if I die.
Reader comments
As the book says, "In the Chinese poetry world, there are many talented female poets and stars are shining brightly." And I think some of the stories in the book are also very inspiring, like the love story between Liu and Han Hong, which made me feel the power of love. I thought of a friend of mine. She and her husband also went through many difficulties before they got together. Their stories were very similar to those in the book, which also made me cherish the people around me more. All in all, this is a very meaningful book and worth reading.
