Via mutual attesting of poems and history, and with a multitude of letters, reminiscent documents and poems, A Critical Biography of Mu Dan (Zha Liangzheng): A Poet and a Translator genuinely represents the life of Mu Dan, known as a member of Jiuye School, against macroscopic academic view and broad historical backgrounds. The school of poetry marks the maturity of Chinese modernist literature and indicates the peak of the development of new poetry in China. The book reviews the glorious achievements of Mu Dan’s new poetry writings, confirms his contributions to Chinese translations of Russian poems and British romanticism poems as well as modernist poems. Moreover, the author spares no efforts to delineate numerous noticeable colonies of Chinese poets and historical figures such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Yu Youren, and Sun Liren. In the monograph, the diachronic and synchronic descriptions are both elaborate and unambiguous; and the historical narratives are both sincere and magnificent. Together with abundant and subtle emotional expressions, A Critical Biography of Mu Dan (Zha Liangzheng): A Poet and a Translator is an artistic and academic biographic monograph.
