Abstract:The poet can not save the world, but can save himself. Bai Hongxue is a poet who attempts to save himself through resistance and proximity. On the one hand, he saves himself in resistance: for the individual, he makes self-resistance and condemnation, realizing self-redemption through harsh self- analysis in the faith restoration; for the others and society, he integrates himself into the "others" or collective to receive criticism together. On the other hand, he saves himself in proximity: he does not reject the beneficial results of modern social material and spiritual civilization, from the refusal of modern civilization disease to the overall proximity toward the old home, the body, and those spiritual giants with the same nature. Through resistance and proximity, Bai Hongxue completed a self-salvation with some sort of personal, collective or epoch-making significance.
