Sevenling: A China Man's Progress


is dedicated to my grandfather,
a subject of a collapsing Imperial Qing China at birth,
a Chinese national of the first republican state in Asia at age one,

a liberated citizen of a new China at age 39,
a permanent resident of U.S.A. at age 80,
an American citizen when he died at age 90.

He never knew the 26 letters of the English alphabet.

I enjoyed reading your poem, which historizes the life events of a Chinese man who had lived through the 20th century.

And the title of your poem is thought-provoking.

A Chinese's progress

might be

A Chinese Man's Progress

or Chinese Progress

I like your new title, which makes not only a literary allusion to China Men by Maxine Hong Kingston, but also a historic allusion to the racial slur Chinaman.

Yes, these are my intentions.

I like my poem to have the allusive character, which can speak to and engage in dialogue with other literary texts.
