Li Bai

China setzt sich mit einem Dichter auseinander, der vor 1300 Jahren lebte: Li Bai (Li Taipo):

Free-spirited, with an unrestrained temper, in a long white gown and given to drinking all his life. That is how the „Immortal Poet“ Li Bai (701-762) lives in the minds of most Chinese people.

Arguably the most well-known romantic poet in Chinese history, Li has been so deified that he is a challenge to individuals or groups who wish to interpret him. / China Daily 5.1.04
