The influence of Yevgeny Yevtushenko on contemporary Chinese poets

The subject of the research is the influence of the creative legacy of Yevgeny Yevtushenko on contemporary Chinese poets. The object of the study is the poetic practice of Chinese authors who have embraced the ideas and forms of Yevtushenko's work, created in the context of Soviet poetry. The author examines several aspects of the topic in detail, such as the emotional response of Chinese poets to Yevtushenko's political lyrics, which manifests itself in the awakening of subjective consciousness; changes in themes and forms that are clearly reflected in the works of Chinese poet Bei Dao; and various ways of disseminating poetry that are reflected in the recitations of Chinese poet Shi Zhi. Particular attention is paid to the development of the poets' subjective consciousness and their pursuit of social responsibility, inspired by the vivid examples and humanitarian ideals presented in Yevtushenko's work. The methodology of the research includes textual analysis of the works of Yevtushenko and Chinese poets, a comparative approach, and the study of the cultural context. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the detailed analysis of the influence of Yevgeny Yevtushenko's creative legacy on contemporary Chinese poetic practices, which allows for the identification of unique connections between Soviet and Chinese poetry. A deepened approach to the study of not only the texts but also the cultural context in which they were created opens new perspectives for understanding the formation of subjective consciousness among Chinese poets. The conclusions show that Yevtushenko's poetics, based on humanism and social responsibility, has had a significant impact on the development of themes, forms, and methods of disseminating poetry in China, fostering spiritual revival and social activism among contemporary authors, as well as inspiring them to create new original works and masterpieces.
