Collection of Red Willows/红柳集

A selected collection of poems written between 1952 and 1962 by the renowned poet Li Ying. As a red classic that has influenced countless readers over the years, Collection of Red Willows is divided into six sections. With meticulous yet magnificent strokes, it reflects the rich and varied lives of soldiers and civilians in China's border regions, and reveals the stirring valor and indomitable will of the military. Frontline fighters, truck drivers, prospectors, rural postmen, herders, the sons and daughters of the Yellow River-these representative figures of a new era walk into Li Ying's verses one after another. Each poem is thus imbued with a youthful spirit, patriotic devotion, and a fervent will to strive.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1952¿¿1962¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿......¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Li Ying (1926-2019), a native of Fengrun County, Hebei Province, was a contemporary Chinese poet.
