In a symposium at BNU on March 16, Yu Hua \u4f59\u534e called Ouyang a “broad and complex” poet for relating history to modern times. Mo Yan \u83ab\u8a00, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012, said Ouyang’s poems always touch on the essence of life and the poet has the ability to make his culturally profound and philosophical poems understandable to the general public.<\/p>\n

While compliments were paid to Ouyang’s literary achievement at the symposium, the poet said he wants to hear more criticism. He said that since many new things have occurred so rapidly in modern poetry over the past three decades, it’s harder for classics and milestone pieces to emerge.<\/p>\n

“Our poems are still just the questions, not the answers,” he said.<\/p>\n

Ouyang also said during the symposium that one of his biggest childhood dreams was to become a college professor. However, he never had the chance to even attend college as he was already 35 when he retired from his service in the army.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
