Ji Mulangge is a Yi poet and one of the representative poets of the Feifei ("Non-Non") poetry school. His work consists mainly of modern poetry and holds a place in both contemporary Yi poetry written in Chinese and the broader avant-garde poetry scene. The only title by him in the collection is Standpoint. Publicly available information is limited, making it difficult to give a complete account of his life, education, or writing chronology; it is therefore more appropriate to approach him through his poetic style and influence. Ji Mulangge's poetry is generally cool and concise, with restrained language and spare imagery. It avoids elaboration and excessive lyricism, concentrating observation and reflection in short, taut lines. This style echoes the Feifei school's emphasis on linguistic self-awareness and its rejection of established lyrical modes, giving his work a distinctive presence in contemporary Chinese poetry. Reading Ji Mulangge thus means encountering a Yi poet's Chinese-language writing and experiencing a modern poetic voice known for restraint and composure.
