A poetry festival to commemorate the Chinese romantic poet Haizi will be held on July 25 in Delingha, capital of Haixi prefecture, Qinghai. ... The remote and beautiful place deeply fascinated Haizi, who longed for a spiritual paradise. In 1988, Haizi traveled to Delingha and wrote the poem Sister, Tonight I am in Delingha, a sentimental work that reflected the poet's loneliness on a dark night. Haizi, who committed suicide in 1989 at the age of 25, had a strong influence on popular Chinese literature, especially with his most famous poem, Facing the Sea, with Spring Blossoms. ... The poetry festival will assemble contemporary Chinese poets and critics for seminars on Haizi and other Chinese poets. A poetry contest will be held for entrants from all over the country.
