About

In this work the poetry of one of China's most famous poets, Du Fu (712-770) is explored through two short poems which focus on the image of the river. The first poem is a description of a scene with river and hills. In the second poem the poet laments that he doesn't know when he will return to the land where the river is blue and the birds are a perfect white.
