A taste of macao

By Xing Yi | China Daily | Updated: 2014-09-03 07:26

A new collection of works brings the heritage of the old Portuguese colony to mainland readers, Xing Yi reports.

To many people Macao is a city of gambling. That lucrative industry, however, is not only a powerhouse for Macao's economy but also a source of inspiration for its authors and poets.

In Un Sio San's collection of poems Liu Min Zhi Ge (Songs of the Exiled), the 28-year-old Macao poet chants of people's sense of alienation in the city. Yuan writes in her poem, "The sky is blue but insincere", referring to the artificial sky in The Venetian Macao, one of the famous casino resorts in the city.
