I don't know how An Yu's going to further expand his vocabulary in his hermetic space, and to further enhance his richness on his needle tip, but I have once suggested to him that an anthology of An Yu's selected poems be compiled before he gets eighty. Now, let me make a bold prediction - if he's willing to leave a hundred and fifty poems among all his current works, he may be regarded as a mediocre poet with highly unstable competence in writing; if he leaves eighty poems, he may be recognized as a good poet, but monotonous; if he leaves only twenty, ten or even five poems, who knows, he may be recognized as an outstanding poet who was almost buried.
