是谁传下这诗人的行业?且听那宇宙的游子,在梦土上为你朗读――
《如雾起时》以郑愁予同名诗作为向导,从已然失落的第一本诗集,切入诗人的生命。曾在港口工作、熟稔于水手与离别,煮酒焚叶星座聚首的烫热年代,到爱荷华时期的冲激,以及任教于耶鲁后的静定与博观,他始终守着这美的行业,高高举起风灯,在世界的脸上镶嵌光影。

庄周梦蝶,无有虚实。诗人在红尘中梦想脱俗,于露电里捕捉永恒。
《化城再来人》借用佛经典故,以周梦蝶的一天隐喻其一生中的风景,从日常中穿插映射其思维、修行、写作,试图重现昔年武昌街气氛、书摊的孤独国,追索病痛带来的改变与启发、几次生命里的流徙与意义,最后具现为那不负如来不 负卿的悟与情。

The legendary life of Ye Jiaying (1924-), a master of Chinese classical poetry. She went through war, political persecution, and wandering overseas all her life. She returned to China after the reform and opening up in her later years, and continued to create and inherit teaching, which was the lifeblood of classical poetry interrupted by the Cultural Revolution. The film interweaves Ye Jiaying's personal life with Chinese classical poetry for thousands of years, showing the significance track of her seeking existence in the long river of poetry. "Du Fu's Eight Episodes of Qiuxing" is the most important research masterpiece in Ye Jiaying. The eight poems of Qiuxing depict the rise and fall of China's prosperous Tang Dynasty. This film uses this as a metaphor for the turbulent years experienced by Mr. Ye, and invites musician Sato Congming to create film music based on the eight poems of Qiuxing, combining elegant music and modern music, bringing new life to Du Fu's poetry.
