The poems in Zou Lian'an’s poetry anthology The Dull Pain of the Earth, manifestate a state of tolerance and tear, leading people to face a tearing but enough real soul. Based on the unique individual experience in this city, the poet describes all the pain behind the city as well as on the land. The poet's passion comes from the courage of facing the dilemma of human survival, and from the toughness of facing the dull pain of the earth. In contrast to the outside world, the passion encounters the drums of the times and gets sublimation.
