Here he critically re-examines Chinese poetry in the 20th century and aims to restore it as a cultural form equal to any other and thus worthy of examination in its own right. However, his analysis covers the production and consumption of a range of 20th-century Chinese divergent cultural practices, including poetry and pop music, and the survival of the lyric in a Communist, and now increasingly capitalist, society that favours nationalistic, homogenous forms of cultural expression."
