Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco invites you to a special reading by poet Yu Xinqiao俞心樵, an evening celebrating the written word. Yu’s poetry glows with the incendiary fire of political dissent as well as the golden light of an abiding love for language. He was jailed for eight years for advocating for a “Chinese Renaissance Movement” in response to government crackdown on the arts. Fearing censorship, many mainstream Chinese journals have shied away from publishing his work. But Yu’s poetry continues to be tremendously popular amongst regular Chinese readers. Don't miss this rare, American platform for this subversive, authentic voice from contemporary China.
