Director

For a poet, perhaps poetry is the best way to understand his spiritual world. " Disabled poet “peasant poet”, if you have read the poetry of goatee, you will find that these symbolic labels can not depict such a sincere and vibrant soul.Follow Li Songshan’s life: herding sheep, maternal love, daily life in the neighborhood The rural daily life in his memory seems to become romantic and poetic under his delicate imagination. But I think these feelings come from our shared enthusiasm for life, more like the poem of goatee: “you say, the boundary of rhetoric is always slightly smaller than that of life.”
