Character evaluation

Li Xiaoyu is a kind person. Her works are simple, thick and philosophical. Most of her poems are her own real life experience, and at the same time, she combs and integrates these experiences. Her works are very attractive, which should be said to have influenced the creation of a generation of poets. in recent years, Li Xiaoyu has done a lot of trivial and energy consuming organization and coordination work for the society, which has contributed greatly to the communication among the poetry circles across the country. Xiaoyu and Li Ying, as "father daughter poets", have always been a good story in Chinese poetry. Xiaoyu's sudden death is a loss to the Chinese poetry circle.
