Very few poets can claim to dominate a language as much as he does. A person may not know who wrote the Meng or the Journey, but I challenge you to find a single Chinese-educated person who does not know who Li Bai is, arguably what Pushkin in poetry is to Russia

I'd say Wu Cheng'en, but then I'm not Chinese so wtf do I know.

On that note, what's the best adaptation of Journey to the West?

>>10568924
I've heard about him in school, only mentioned as "I.P. Jacobsen", because back when he was born I was used instead of J. I'll check my book if I have a novel or poem from him. Might have used one when I was studying "The modern breakthrough".

Found it:
I've read "To Verdener" (English translation: "Two Worlds) by him. It's an intriguing novel and very much typical to The Modern Breakthrough. Now, I haven't read much from him, but he's certainly one of the better Danish authors. Which is probably why he's used in our lesson plan. Though I think Henrik Pontoppidan is a better author.
