About the author

Yao Feng is represented in this Chinese-language book database by two works, both classified under literature. Publicly available information about his nationality, dates of birth and death, education, and professional career is limited, so his life cannot be described in detail here; this introduction can only be based on the works and categories in the database. The first, My Heart Is Late: Pessoa's Love Poems, indicates a direct connection with the poetry of the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, suggesting that Yao Feng may have translated, edited, or introduced Pessoa's love poems, giving Chinese readers access to this aspect of Pessoa's work. The second, The Weight of the World, points to writing or editing concerned with poetry and literary expression. Together the two books—one a foreign poet's love poems, the other a contemplative literary work—suggest an interest in poetic language, emotional experience, and the inner life, with a readership inclined toward literature. Given the limited materials, his style and influence are difficult to assess systematically and await further sources.
