Ruhang Lin (Bi Cheng, 1907–1959) was a distinguished poet in Hong Kong. His collection The Poetry of Lin Bicheng is a gem of Hong Kong literature and a beautiful piece in modern Chinese-language writing. Originally published in 1959, the book was only shared among close friends, family, and fellow poets. This reprint brings the work to a wider audience for the first time. The new edition includes an introduction and related materials, such as poems by other members of the Jian Poetry Society, for comparison and study.
More than fifty years have passed. As Hong Kong seeks its cultural identity in a globalized world and uncovers its hidden history, republishing The Poetry of Lin Bicheng is timely and meaningful. Reading this book offers both literary enjoyment and a deeper understanding of modern Chinese history.
Ruhang Lin was an important member of the Jian Poetry Society, a well-known poetry group in 1950s Hong Kong. This book also helps us remember a time that is fading away. Today, few may know his name, but in 1940s Guangdong and 1950s Hong Kong, he was widely recognized. His life was rich and multifaceted, and he ultimately gained recognition through his poetry. In the turbulent 20th century, he embodied the roles of scholar, official, businessman, and poet.
The new edition includes illustrations, photos, and historical materials, making it visually engaging and suitable for all kinds of readers. Scholars, poetry lovers, and general readers alike can appreciate the emotional depth and literary charm of his work.
