Half of My Life Was Full of Ups and Downs, and My Poems Cried About the Mountains and Rivers.

The prosperous age of Kaiyuan came to an end, and the troubled times of Tianbao came. I am Du Fu, born in a Confucian family, with the ambition of serving the kings Yao and Shun. But the powerful ministers disrupted the government, wars broke out, Chang'an fell, and the people were displaced. He was captured and imprisoned in the city of Thieves, wandering around Shu for half his life. Even though his fate was rough and he was in poverty, he never lost his scholarly character and his pure loyalty. One person's life, one stroke and one poem, records the vicissitudes of troubled times and witnesses the collapse of a dynasty.
