Question
A poem from this movement that laments, “In an age without heroes / I just want to be a man,” ends with the image of “a blood-red dawn” that “From star-like bullet holes shall flow.” The 1998 film The Poet depicts a New Zealand resident from this literary movement who ax-murdered his wife; that poet from this movement noted “the darkest night gave me dark-colored eyes” in the two-line poem “A Generation.” This movement’s journal Today published a protest poem that declares, “Let me tell you, world, (*) / I—do—not—believe!” An author from this movement used a pseudonym meaning “Northern Island” for his poem “The Answer,” which was quoted during protests that motivated the affiliated novelist of War Trash and Waiting to emigrate. For 10 points, Bei Dao and Ha Jin belonged to what Chinese poetic movement, whose alleged obscurity inspired its meteorological name? ■END■
