<div>The following poem was written partly in response to the New Express/ Chen Yongzhou incident, as the author told me after he showed his poem around on Weibo. It has not been deleted, as far as Iknow. This is not one of those poems which act like condensed
news articles, like Zhao Siyun's Lily's Story (see<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "><a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_68d111990101afbr.html">http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_68d111990101afbr.html</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; ">)

The following poem is less straightforward. I like some parts, but I'm not sure about the overall literary quality. I also don't know who is meant by the following lines:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium; "> </span></div>
