Du Fu, one of the greatest poets(诗人)in China, is well-known to Chinese people.1.However, not many people know about him in Western countries.Thanks 2.to a documentary Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet, they have a chance to know more about Du Fu.In it, Du Fu is compared to Shakespeare(莎士比亚), one of the greatest 3.writers in Britain.
To introduce the beauty of traditional Chinese literature to people around the world, the documentary invited a famous British actor 4.who played the wizard(巫师) Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings(《指环王》),5.to read Du’s poems that have been translated into English.
The one-hour documentary 6.describes Du’s life experiences.Born in 712, Du lived under the reign(统治)of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong, a time marked by extraordinary(非凡的) prosperity(繁荣).But after An Lushan Rebellion(安史之乱), people had a very hard life.Through ups and downs, Du never 7.stopped writing and about 1,500 poems have been kept over the ages.In these poems, he showed his concern(关心)for his country and the 8.importance of celebrating the simple joys of life.
Chinese people really value the recording of history and Du is better than anyone at reflecting history in his poems.Though he never held a 9.high position in the government, Du cared about common people.For example, in 10.his poem My Cottage Unroofed By Autumn Gales (《茅屋为秋风所破歌》), he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I’d house all scholars poor and make them beam with smiles.” That’s why he is regarded as “the saint of poetry”(诗圣) by later generations.

One day, Zhou Yu ordered Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows(箭)in ten days.Zhou Yu thought it was impossible, but Zhuge Liang said, “Give me three days.” Then he asked Lu Su to lend him 20 boats, and the soldiers put some scarecrows(稻草人)in line on the boats.He reminded Lu Su not to tell Zhou Yu what was happening.
When Lu Su came again to see Zhuge Liang, he found nothing unusual.Nothing happened on the second day, either.In the small hours(凌晨)of the third day, Zhuge Liang invited Lu Su for a boat ride.The 20 boats were tied together with strong ropes.Zhuge’s fleet went towards the camp of Cao Cao.The surface of the river was covered with thick mist(雾)all over.People could hardly see each other on the river.When Zhuge’s fleet got close to the Cao camp before dawn(黎明), Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to shout and beat drums heavily to pretend an attack.But Zhuge and Lu Su only sat inside one boat drinking wine to enjoy themselves.

Although it’s said that Van Gogh(梵高) sold only one painting during his lifetime, there are different stories.
It is true that The Red Vineyard was the only painting sold during Van Gogh’s lifetime, and that was officially recorded and accepted by the art world.It’s recorded that Van Gogh started painting at 27, and died at 37.His famous paintings were produced after he went to France in 1888, only two years before he died.So it would be clear that he did not sell many.
