Documentary on 'Delivery Poet' resonates in Italy
Wang Jibing, affectionately known as the "Delivery Poet", was the focus of a new screening hosted by the Italian Writers Association recently.
The documentary, "Three in the Afternoon: The Global Echo of a Delivery Poet", chronicles Wang's unique life as a food delivery worker in Kunshan, Jiangsu province, who turns his daily experiences into poetry.
Following its premiere last December at the Sino-Italian Economic and Cultural Exchange Center in Rome, the event once again captivated audiences with its heartfelt narrative.
Amid his hectic delivery schedule, Wang captured his emotions and the stories of ordinary people he encountered, jotting down verses on scraps of paper and in the palm of his hand.
His poetry, characterized by its simple yet profound language, vividly depicts the lives of everyday Chinese citizens. Over the years, Wang has composed more than 6,000 poems, many of which have been published in poetry and literary journals both in China and abroad.
Wang's work has been translated into several languages and published in five countries. His poetry collection, "Flying Low", is set to be published in English and in French this year.
