"Yang Lian is one of the most influential and visionary poets in contemporary literature. Over the past several decades, his work has demonstrated profound poetic depth and a critical engagement with an artistic voice characterized by philosophical ambition and linguistic power.

Yang Lian‘s oeuvre stands as an exploration of memory, identity, and existence. I believe that his work will continue to inspire audiences worldwide.
