This is a book of poems originally written in Chinese by SU Qifei and translated in English by Lara Li. Qifei lives in a small town in south China. He observes world around him with great sensibility and compassion. His poems offer a glimpse of ordinary Chinese people who are somehow left behind by the country’s high-speed development, of their lives and sufferings. By that, he suffers from his sanity and kindness, but still not giving up to his difficult life. Integrity and love are in his blood. His poems are of melancholy, compassionate, and zenful thoughts, but also show strong force and healing power.
