Poet’s Statue

Among the crossroad stands a statue

Human behavior returns to primitive age.
We have already experienced Mao’s Cultural Revolution 1966-1976.
A poet’s statue cannot be the subject the spill of anger.
A poet should not be a representative of a particular sect.

The silent voice of the poet’s statue
requests in peaceful appearance

He presents a feature of nation
A poet is characteristic of the people,
where they unify by the peace of harmony.

Do not misinterpret or define;
it doesn’t denigrate the quintessence of others.

Poet’s statue is a heritage.
It must be protected.
A poet should not be communal.
The poet’s statue doesn’t absolutely represent only his origin.
He did not create his creation as defeat for other identities. ...
