14:00 - 15:00 Bookmark Special: Farewell to Cambridge

Xu Zhimo’s poem Second Farewell to Cambridge is taught to every schoolchild in China, making it arguably the most famous poem in the world, though it’s little known outside the poet’s homeland. In this Bookmark special Leigh Chambers examines the role it’s played in forging cultural and business links between Cambridge and China, takes a look at the literature and music it has inspired, and discovers ways in which the poet and poem are still embedded in the life of Cambridge, the city he loved.
