1988 went to New Zealand to teach China classical literature, and was employed as a researcher in the Department of Asian Languages, University of Auckland. After his resignation, he lived in seclusion on Rapids Island. 1992 won the German DAAD Creative Annuity, written in Germany. 1993 10 died in an apartment in new Zealand on 10. Leave a lot of poems, essays, calligraphy, paintings and other works.
In the 1970s, he began to write poems, including Poems of Unknown Flowers, Selected Lyrics of Shu Ting Gu Cheng, Poems of Bei Dao Gu Cheng, Black Eyes, Poems of Gu Cheng and so on. In addition, he co-authored the novel Yinger with Xie Ye. Gu Cheng is a representative figure of China's misty poetry school in the new period, and is known as a "fairy tale poet" who sees the world with a childlike innocence. Compared with Shu Ting's elegance, charm, beauty and sadness, Gu Cheng's poems are naive. But in Gu Cheng's poems full of dreams and childishness, there is an adult sadness. Although this sadness is faint, it is as heavy as lead. Because this is not only the poet's personal sorrow, but also the sorrow of a generation after awakening, and the sorrow of an awakened generation to see the reality in front of them.
