Xu Zhimo(1897-1931) was born near xiashih in southern Zherjiang, and when still young raised the wealth of the family, so Xu zhimo was studied in United State and England. At this time he expanded his reading to include Keats and Byron, Xu began to ponder the freedom of the poet's soul.
There was Xu Zhimo, the brilliant expounder of culture he had derived from Cambridge; there were a host of young poets, like Chu Hsiang, Liu Mengwei, ane Wen yidtuo, who were determined to take the new fortress by storm. Xu Zhimo wrote his loveliest poetry, introduced European romantic poetry.
In according to his products, we deserved he was a romantic poet and bourgeoisie, but look into inside his works there was inciuding fundamental humanity.
The early 20C in the China, there was lots of meaningless wars, starvations, poor peasants, Xu looked down these lower classes with full of lovely heart based on humanity. The Chinese peasants have hated the arts of war. War and terror of war have left their mark on the Chinese race, but even more merciless than war has been the poverty of the people. The threat of starvation is eternally real in the country, where life must be fought for and every grain of rice is precious. So death is present in these poems, there was poverty, because death stood before them eternally. He described those people's life and tears and sigh.
This thesis focus on Xuzhimo's humanity in the his poetry, everybody knows he was a romantic poet he was pursuit of love throughout all his life. In this case his loving poetry also based on women's human right in spite of covering with loving affairs.
This thesis conclude that Xu Zhimo wrote a poet with humanism also he was a bridge of tradtional poem hand down to modern poems, besides the western poem came into modern chinese poems.
