Xu Zhimo

Poet

Xu Zhimo was a prominent early 20th-century Chinese poet and writer. He was a key figure in the modern Chinese poetry movement, promoting a romantic and aesthetic style influenced by English Romantic poets. Known for his association with the Crescent Moon Society, he advocated for breaking from traditional poetic forms and embracing vernacular language. His life was tragically cut short in a plane crash at the age of 34, but his works, like 'A Second Farewell to Cambridge,' remain celebrated for their beauty and emotional depth.
