Rose in Yanzhong

"The first female poet of the Tang Dynasty" is the epitaph given to her by future generations - but when she was alive, she was just a woman who refused to accept her fate. When she was six years old, she said "I have not given up after time", which made the elders in the hall turn pale with fright; when she was seven years old, her biological father sent her to a Taoist temple for the reason: "You are too smart, I can't save you." But she insists on living as the most dazzling existence in the Tang Dynasty - the tea sage Lu Yu has made tea for her all her life, the poet Jiao Ran compares poems with her, and her lover Zhu Fang makes her love and hurt to the core. "Couples who are closest to each other" is a famous line handed down by her; she is also the woman who has the word "lost" lightly written down in the history books. She was free, willful and talented all her life, but in the end she was beaten to death by the emperor on the order of a stick because of a poem - she was the only female poet in Chinese history who was personally killed by the imperial power. This is not a fabrication, it is the reality of the Tang Dynasty recorded in official history. Loved, fought, popular, and hurt, this is Li Ye, a woman who writes poems with her life.
