Feng Zhi (1905-1993) was a distinguished translator and professor of German literature with a deep knowledge of the poetry of Goethe, Novalis and Rilke. Regarded as one of the most refined lyricists and sonnet writers in early modern Chinese literature, Feng Zhi’s mystical poetry manifests a gradual shift from Romanticism to Modernism and addresses some of the most relevant themes that interested Chinese intellectuals at the turn of the twentieth century: individualism, love, poetic transcendence, loneliness and interpersonal relationships. The Sonnets encapsulate the mature thought and poetry of Feng Zhi and portray a poetic journey of the individual in modern China.
