CROSSING HALF OF CHINA TO SLEEP WITH YOU – Yu Xiuhua / When writing poems means facing yourself, not facing others.

Because they’re simple, and don’t have many words.

Hubei is a province located in the Central China region, where was born poet Yu Xiuhua. The territory was part of the powerful State of Chu. The most celebrated element of Hubei cuisine, is the Wuchang bream (a freshwater bream that is steamed). Its Shennongjia area, is the alleged home of the Yeren, a wild undiscovered hominid that lives in the forested hills. Here you can find natural attraction of the Three Gorges of the Yan (gorges can be visited by one of the numerous tourist boats).

She was born in Hengdian (Hubei, China), to a family of farmers, where she was born with cerebral palsy. In her second year of high school, she gave up her study and stayed at home out of work. The woman who has become one of China’s most-read poets, spent most of her 41 years in a farmhouse surrounded by wheat fields. She was born with cerebral palsy, but one of her poems turned her into a celebrity overnight and has been translated often into English. In a village in the central province of Hubei, in the shade near the house, YU XIUHUA wrote at a low table, always struggling to control her shaking body. She rarely read literature. She only started to read more famous works on her mobile phone, after 2006. But she knew how to write, before read.

CROSSING HALF OF CHINA TO SLEEP WITH YOU – Two bodies collide — the force, the flower opened by the force, and the virtual Spring brought by the flower — nothing more than this, and this we mistake as life restarting. In half of China, things are happening: volcanoes erupt, rivers run dry, political prisoners and displaced workers are abandoned, elk deer and red-crowned cranes get shot. I cross the hail of bullets to sleep with you. I press many nights into one morning to sleep with you. I run across many of me and many of me run into one to sleep with you. Of course I can be misguided by butterflies and mistake praise as Spring, and a village similar to Hengdian as home. But all these are absolute reasons that I spend a night with you.
