Looking back on his course of writing in the 1970s, Leung Ping-kwan, a renowned Hong Kong literary writer and critic, mentioned that he developed a liking for many Chinese modernist and the so-called Jiu Ye Pai poets early on. And from the early work of Ma Lang (Ronald Mar), he could identify traces of influence, particularly that of lyricism, from some of these Chinese poets, including Dai Wangshu and He Qifang. However, Leung seemed not to be satisfied with the lyrical expression found in the Chinese poetry of the1930s and 1940s, nor even that from the poetry of Ma Lang. Instead, he kept revisiting the issue of "how to write a modern lyrical poem", as he "doesn't want lyricism to simply assume the form of sentimentalism, or merely become a repetition of sentences and rhythm." It can be said that Leung has spent his whole life experimenting with and contemplating on how a modern lyric poem can be created. From the most important work "Shijing Lianxi" collected in his last poetry collection Chinese Poems from Provence, we may have a glimpse of his thought on lyricism.
