Biography
Born in Kunming, China, on August 8, 1954, Yu Jian's schooling was interrupted in 1966 by the Cultural Revolution. He became a factory worker in 1969, where frequent power failures enabled him to read voraciously. He started writing poetry (free verse) at the age of twenty. He studied in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature, at Yunnan University, and was a literary activist, organising events and editing publications. His career as a published poet took off when his poem "6 Shangyi Street" was published in China's leading poetry journal Shikan in 1986. He published a controversial long poem File Zero in 1994, then a collection of travel sketches and impressions of daily life Notes from the Human World in 1999, and another long poem Flight in 2000.
