Behind The Gates Of The Wealthy Poem by Du Fu

A very powerful and touching poem depicting the gap between the rich and the poor. So brilliantly crafted with superb imagery.

Very heart touching poem. Yes the difference between rich and the poor is so huge that even to bridge the gap would be so difficult.

There was a period in his harsh life than Du Fu was very poor.. so poor that one of his children died of starvation..

'' Behind the gates of the wealthy food lies rotting from waste Outside it's the poor who lie frozen to death '' - In Italian: Dietro le porte dei ricchi il cibo sprecato marcisce; Al di fuori, i poveri giacciono nel freddo mortale.
