"The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to search for the light." In 1993, the poet Gu Cheng bid farewell to the world in an extremely tragic manner with his wife, Xie Ye, on the island of Rakiura in New Zealand. For over 20 years, controversies, rumors, evaluations, and speculations regarding Gu Cheng have never ceased. In 2014, with the passing of Gu Cheng's lover, Li Ying, we attempt to restore the real Gu Cheng from the perspective of the "human" and the hazy poet who was worshiped like a religious figure by poetry enthusiasts. We reflect on the poetry that "awoke this Eastern sleeping lion of China" after the Cultural Revolution, as well as the 1980s, which Chinese intellectuals dubbed "the era of the most free thought since the founding of the country." The glory and exile of that generation, as well as their divergent paths, are a microcosm of a nation's and an era's transformation. Wandering far away, unable to return to the hometown, became a significant dilemma for Gu Cheng before his death. As poet Yang Lian said, "The tragedy of Gu Cheng is both a personal tragedy and a historical tragedy."
