The Visionary Who Burned Bright
The club steps into the late 20th century to confront the legacy of Haizi. Over eight rigorous discussions, they build the intense socio-cultural framework of the 1980s 'Culture Fever', tracing the poet's journey from a rural farming village to the intellectual epicenter of Peking University. They meticulously deconstruct his magnum opus, 'Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms Warm', revealing the terrifying agrarian isolation hidden beneath its bright, utopian surface. Finally, they grapple with his suicide in 1989 and the devastating irony of how modern real estate commodified his absolute despair.
The meteoric life and tragic death of Haizi, exploring the existential whiplash of 1980s China and the posthumous mythologization of a poet who demanded too much from language.
