Character evaluation

Chen Chao (poet, critic)

In the collection noble, I saw his consistent pursuit of clear poetic style for more than 20 years, and created his own "clear". This is to pursue the transparency of the context and the simplicity of the structure, and to retain the rich metaphysical suggestibility; to maintain the authenticity and freshness of daily experience, and to make a proper semantic deviation from it, so as to produce some allegorical effect. I call it "darkness in clarity.".
