Poem I like

   Bai Lee is one of the greatest poets throughout the Chinese history, and he is a romantic poet. I like his poem that titles “sending his friend Hao-Rein Mong away to Guangling” because it’s very touching. The poem contains the imagery of rain and a lonely boat sailing away, which adds more sadness of the parting. Moreover, Bai Lee just stands beside the Yangtze River until he couldn’t see his friend anymore. His lonely shadow shows a strong emotion of grief for separating with his best friend.
