Neruda is eternal favorite in China

A new Chinese edition of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda’s memoir, I Confess I Have Lived, was published one month before Premier Li Keqiang’s visit to the South American country in May.

“Perhaps I didn’t live just in myself, perhaps I lived the lives of others … My life is a life put together from all those lives: the lives of the poet,” wrote Neruda reflecting on the many “lives”he lived around the world, including his three visits to China.
