BBC纪录片：杜甫- 中国最伟大的诗人

Du Fu - China's Greatest Poet (BBC)

BBC documentary. Michael Wood explores the extraordinary life, times and words of China’s greatest poet, Du Fu, with Sir Ian McKellen reading the poetry of Du Fu.

Born in 712, the age of Beowulf in Britain, Du Fu lived through the violent fall of China’s brilliant Tang dynasty. As rebel armies sacked the capital, and floods and famine wrecked the country, he was forced to flee, taking his family on the roads as refugees. But though in the east Du Fu is an immortal, in the west, even today, few have even heard of him.

Sorry folks, but had to blur a few seconds of this at around the 7 minute mark, hope this doesn't spoil your enjoyment too much. It was either that or cut the segment, but it has Ian McKellen talking and who doesn't want to listen to Ian McKellen talking...?
