This is not just a translation. It is an amazing work of Art. What little I've read of Chinese verse, mainly Tu Fu, I've admired and this goes right into my soul.

Thanks for finding a place in your heart for what Luowu Muga has to say. He gave me a few of his poems when I visited Xichang, Sichuan earlier this month. I hope he will send me more. I exchanged poems with him during the visit, but the ones I showed him had been translated into Chinese by my friend Wang Hao (at Yunnan University) . I think everyone who writes in Chinese owes something to Tu Fu. He was one of the shapers of the language, just as Shakespeare helped to shape English.
