Gu Cheng was born in a poet's family. During the Cultural Revolution, he was sent to a farm in Shandong with his father, where he spent his boyhood. It is said that he began to write poetry at the age of five, and wrote Fantasia of Life at the age of 14, which is considered as one of the representative works of "misty poetry". 1977, Gu Cheng, 2 1 year-old, officially published his poems, and later he was called the five masters of misty poetry with He Jiang, Beidao, Shuting and Yang Lian.
Although there are more and more different views on the formulation of "misty poetry" and its position in contemporary poetry, Gu Cheng is indeed an outstanding poet in the "misty poetry school". However, some critics think: "There are many good poems from Gu Cheng, but there are more generalized works. It can be seen that Gu Cheng's creation is still in a stage of trying, groping and seeking a breakthrough. "
Gu Cheng's poems are known for their childlike interest, so they are known as "fairy tale poets". His works include Fable and Fairy Tales from Gu Cheng, Black Eyes, Remy, City, Water Eyes, Poems from Gu Cheng, etc. His works have been translated into many languages.
