He is an immortal banished from heaven, a transcendent drinker, the most dazzling poetic genius of the Great Tang,
and also a political novice who failed utterly in officialdom.
He sought office all his life, and all his life he was cast aside. Rewarded with gold and sent away, exiled to Yelang, condemned to death by the world.
But he did not die.
In the heart of the river at Caishi Shoal, a green lotus bore his body aloft.
It turned out that the poet immortal who had fallen to the mortal world was finally going home.
“Trail of the Green Lotus Immortal”: This time, Li Bai rides a whale back to heaven.
The writing is very good. It unfolds Li Bai's life according to the historical trajectory, and mixes in a little bit of mythology, making people feel the ups and downs of Li Bai's life immersively. Very good
