Of flesh & Spirit by Wang Ping
This poem was my favorite dutring the reading! I loved how Wang moved the poem, and brought culture into the poem. It is very heavily saturated with the cultural expectations, and beliefs of the Chinese.
I liked getting to see the differences of culture. The poem being Chinese and myself ,the reader, being American. It was eye opening and inspiring.
My favorite quote: in socialist China, husbands and wives call each other "my lover"
I adore that line. I thought it was so sweet and romantic. (I'm quite the hopeless romantic)
I highly encourage you to go out and find this peom. It is truely execptional!
