Fossil Fish, as an object-chanting poem, relies on the bloody fact that a creature was buried by dust for no reason, but the fresh fish lost its life. It is a ruthless display of the political struggle that destroyed life and expresses Ai Qing's commemoration and mourning for the lost life.
Ai Qing was originally named Jiang Zhenghan and Haicheng. He used pen names such as Ega, Kea and Linbi. Graduated from Hangzhou National West Lake Art College. Born in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, he is a contemporary writer and poet.
