DU FU: CHINA’S GREATEST POET

Sir Ian McKellen reads the poetry, Michael Wood traces the journey on the
ground. Together they conjure up the extraordinary life, times and words of
China’s greatest poet, Du Fu.

From the Yellow River to the Yangtze Gorges, and down to the forested hills of
Hunan, Michael Wood travels in the footsteps of China’s most-loved poet. Born in
712, the age of Beowulf in Britain, Du Fu lived through the violent fall of
China’s brilliant Tang dynasty. As rebel armies sacked the capital, and floods
and famine wrecked the country, he was forced to flee, taking his family on the
roads as refugees.

But out of these events he produced what Harvard’s Stephen Owen calls ‘the
greatest poems in the Chinese language’, words that ever since have been seen as
an expression of what it means to be Chinese. ‘There is Dante, there’s
Shakespeare, and there’s Du Fu,’ says Owen. ‘These poets create the very
standard by which great poetry is judged.’ But though in the east Du Fu is an
immortal, in the west, even today, few have even heard of him.

In this film, the first to ever be made about Du Fu in the west, Michael follows
his tracks by road, train and riverboat. Along the way, he meets ordinary
people, dancers and musicians, who help to tell the amazing story of a poet
whose words have resonated through the centuries, describing the experiences of
ordinary people caught up in war, corruption, famine and natural disasters. ‘I
am one of the privileged. If my life is so bitter, then how much worse is the
life of the common people?’

In China, poets have always been seen as the trusted chroniclers of the people’s
hearts and the nation’s history. And for the Chinese, Du Fu is ‘more than a
poet,’ says Wood. ‘For generations he has been the guardian of the moral
conscience of the nation.’

THE STORY OF CHINA



The Story of China (6×60), is a landmark documentary series, written and
presented by historian Michael Wood, exploring the history of the world’s oldest
continuous state, from the ancient past to the present day.

Home to over a billion people, China is the new superpower, a country we all
want to understand now, and Wood argues that to do so we have to look at its
history. Traveling across the country he explores the landscapes, peoples,
stories and cultures that have helped create China’s distinctive character and
genius over more than four thousand year.

Journeying along the Silk Route, down the Grand Canal, and across the plain of
the Yellow River, where Chinese civilisation began, Wood meets people from all
walks of life, visiting China’s most evocative landscapes and exploring ancient
cities like Xian, Nanjing and Hangzhou.

He’ll trace some of the great moments in Chinese history – from their
extraordinary voyages of exploration before Columbus, to amazing scientific
inventions before the European Renaissance: he’ll even show that the Chinese
invented football!

A grand sweep narrative, full of big ideas and unexpected surprises, the series
shows how the Chinese created their own distinctive vision of the world: a
vision that is still alive in the 21st century and indeed, Wood argues, is the
real motor behind the incredible and growing success of China today.

See the extensive PBS official website (made by us) featuring a comprehensive
history of China timeline, dynastic maps, interactive games, photo gallery and a
Q&A with Michael.

Broadcast on BBC in 2016 and PBS in 2017.

The BBC version is available to buy on iTunes and on DVD  and the PBS version on
Blu-ray or on DVD
