Bei Dao, (the pen name of Zhao Zhenkai) was born in Beijing in 1949. During the Cultural Revolution, he worked as a concrete mixer and blacksmith for eleven years. Forced into exile after the Tiananmen Massacre, he lived in Europe and the US until 2007, then settling in Hong Kong until, only recently, moving back to Beijing. He has been hailed as "the soul of post-Mao poetry" (Yunte Huang) and praised for his "intense lyricism" (Pankaj Mishra). Bei Dao has received numerous awards for his poetry all over the world, and founded the International Poetry Nights in Hong Kong. His photography and paintings have been exhibited in China, Hong Kong, and Japan. New Directions publishes ten of his books.
Jeffrey Yang is the author of four books of poetry, most recently Line and Light. His translations include Ahmatjan Osman's Uyghurland, The Farthest Exile and Bei Dao's autobiography City Gate, Open Up: "crafted with poetic precision and enriched by Yang's assiduous translation" (The Wall Street Journal).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In 2001, to visit his sick father, the exiled poet Bei Dao returned to his homeland for the first time in over twenty years. The city of his birth was totally unrecognizable. 'My city that once was had vanished,' he writes: 'I was a foreigner in my hometown.' The shock of this experience released a flood of memories and emotions that sparked Open Up, City Gate. In this lyrical autobiography of growing up-from the birth of the People's Republic, through the chaotic years of the Great Leap Forward, and on into the Cultural Revolution-Bei Dao uses his extraordinary gifts as a poet and storyteller to create another Beijing, a beautiful memory palace of endless alleyways and corridors, where personal narrative mixes with the momentous history he lived through. At the center of the book are his parents and siblings, and their everyday life together through famine and festival. Open Up, City Gate is told in an episodic, fluid style that moves back and forth through the poet's childhood, recreating the smells and sounds, the laughter and the danger, of a boy's coming of age during a time of enormous change and upheaval.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 320 pp. Englisch.
