Zhu Xiang (1904-1933), courtesy name Ziyuan, was a native of Taihu, Anhui, and a modern Chinese poet. He devoted his life to exploring the creation of new Chinese poetry and the translation and introduction of foreign poetry, and advocated the "formal beauty" of poetry. While studying at Tsinghua University, he was known as one of the "Four Sons of Tsinghua University" and enjoyed a reputation as a poet. In 1926, he co-organized "Morning News Poetry". He studied in the United States in 1929 and taught at Anhui University after returning to China. Zhu Xiang was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, with an arrogant and stubborn temperament. He lived in poverty and wandering all his life. After leaving Ann University, he traveled north and south to seek a teaching position but failed. He was disheartened and committed suicide in Caishiji, Nanjing in December 1933. Zhu Xiang was called "China's Keats" by Lu Xun, and his poems are immortal. His major works include the collection of poems "Shimen Collection", the collection of prose letters "Zhongshu Collection", "Overseas Letters to Ni Jun", etc.
