Zheng Min

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zheng Min (Simplified Chinese: 郑敏; Traditional Chinese: 鄭敏; pinyin: Zhèng Mǐn) is a Chinese scholar and poet. She is the only woman in the Nine Leaves school of Chinese poetry.

Zheng Min was born in 1920, in Minhou, Fujian province. She studied philosophy in China and has published modernist poetry since her student days in the early 1940s. In the 1940s she travelled to the United States, gaining a MA in literature from Brown University, and returned to China in 1955. Together with eight other poets, she is thought of as one of the 'Nine Leaves' school of poetry; her work is included in The Nine Leaves (1980). She lectures at Beijing Normal University.
