On March 2 1 2005, 2065438, the United Nations Postal Service will issue a set of stamps, 6 souvenir sheets and 36 stamps for World Poetry Day, which are selected from six major world languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Arabic and Russian. Among them, Chinese poems are selected from the wordless ancient poems of Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty in China. This is a very glorious and proud thing for the people of China.
On the stamp of Silent Night Thinking, the whole poem is written in italics, and on the stamp distribution materials, there are English poems translated by Yang. The couple devoted their whole lives to the English translation of Chinese classical literary masterpieces, and successively translated such masterpieces as A Dream of Red Mansions, Scholars, Songs of the South and Selected Poems of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties.
