We're celebrating World Poetry Day with a reading of a Cambridge classic ❤️
'Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again' is one of the most well-known works of Chinese poet and alumnus, Xu Zhimo. In the 10 years between his admission to King's College, Cambridge in 1921 and his death in an air crash, Xu Zhimo transformed Chinese poetry, and Cambridge inspired much of his work.
The English translation used here is from 'Xu Zhimo in Cambridge. Life and Poetry.' by award-winning scholar, Stuart Lyons (King's 1962).
Reciting it is King's College Classics student, Ningfei, who is reading it in Xu Zhimo’s Memorial Garden at King's.
