Description
A long civilisation produces poets and entrepreneurs alike. But a long civilisation like China produces poet-entrepreneurs and entrepreneur-poets, or even entrepoetreneurs. That's a major difference between China and Australia.
Zhang Chunhua is such a poet on top of being a company CEO. You can't beat that, can you?
As signalled by his pen name, Youfou Shidai (Age of UFO), Zhang Chunhua sets his poetry adrift into space, away from humanity, with lingering glances at its mathematics of desire and coming sterility, its 'thinking fish' and 'categories of rubbish'.
