PoesiaTang Chu Ching é§ç æž
(por-por ć©ć©)
Tang was born in 1936, in a small farming
village of Doumen District, Zhuhai in
Guangdong Province, China. Born to a family of
farmers, Tang was the third child and only girl
in a family of four children. Tang had a relatively
happy childhood, though poor, with a father
who doted on her and was ahead of his time in
recognizing daughters as equals to sons. They were
largely unaffected by the Cultural Revolution as
they were of the working class, but there were
certain unfortunate events such as the accidental
death of her sister at a very young age. At around
20, Tang left the village. She first faked illness and
cited the pursuit of a cure in heading southwards,
then, under the guise of marriage to a Stateside
relative known only by a smart passport photo,
made her way to Hong Kong, where she courted
many suitors but settled on a sailor. Why she did,
I cannot guess. From her I inherited mischief and
vanity.
These are some of her stories.

that catches in the netting,
(when he would come back to me
smelling of brine and sea legs)
the thing
slippery and breathing,
(learning the sprawling vastness of the
heart, the one that is)

children

bathes the high days between rain)
blooming giddy every
season and again

bold for loveâs
shivering,
(tossing
dry of the oceanâs light,)
i resolve to the daily
wake, to high tide in empty
(bed, knowing my lover leans
in for a bent kiss on the cusp of)
land and
fluttering sea.
wee darling
wee darling,
that strangled night when the moth-black
rained with hushed
men-shouts, and high-strung the lightning
roughed our
little mud-hut,
you, wee
thing, how you slept whilst
creatures rang whinnying in the hollow-
weather, when mid-harvest our little boat
flipped like a fish-wish
in the storm-wash eve so
ma upped-and-went in the slurry
after pa, leaving us a flurry-bleed of
slum-thunder.
was just us, wee
one, you and me â you
snug as a bug to the moon-curve
of my small girl-spine
