"May we all live long and, though thousands of miles apart, share the beauty of this same moon." US entrepreneur and cross-cultural publisher James Bryant recites these lines from Su Dongpo's immortal Prelude to Water Melody. For decades Bryant has shared Chinese stories with the world—this time, he shares the moon of Song Dynasty (960-1279) poetry.
Mid-Autumn in Poetry is a global call inviting poetry lovers worldwide to share video recitations. Organized by Chinaculture.org and China Daily Website, the event aims to foster cultural exchange and understanding.
