Reviews for February’s Rose
1．
Being a Chinese American female poet, Bing Hua has kept a young poetic heart. As always, with her innate and intelligent talent and the eyes of a woman, she examines herself, human nature, and the natural world, and She constantly
communicates with herself, her soul, and nature. Being in a foreign land and living in a cross-cultural context, she sometimes narrates love from imagination, sometimes sings the beauty of life through real life, and sometimes expresses the beautiful emotions of human beings while getting close to nature. Specifically, Bing Hua is good at ingeniously integrating personal passions with philosophical thoughts, good at extracting poetry from life and
refining it in daily life. Through these, she has formed her poetic charm and style.

Ancient Greece boasted drama, Europe fiction, China poems. Yet, in today’s Chinese literary circle, the hero no longer exists and the poetical fades away. Amid the clamor of the broad poetry writers, the ancient-old Chinese characters no longer see the poetic shine.
Right in this “poem-less” time, a crispy clear and freshly graceful Reed flute is beginning to sound in a foreign country. It awakens nature, greens life, produces love and beauty, all going into the thirsty hearts of many people. Bing Hua is this flute player, a poet who is growing roses under the foreign moon and has won many international Chinese poetry rewards.
Through time and space, Bing Hua's poetry has galloped in the overseas poetry circle for 30 years. In her poems, she likes to write about the softest feelings of human beings. Their fragrance like flowers soothes the sorrows and sadness of the world. At all times and in all countries, writing love poetry is the most difficult. "Love and Die" has been deeply engraved on people’s heart, but Rose Lu has successfully written out "Love and Live!" That is, seeing through the rolling world, she still looks up and sings affectionately, which is not courage, but the faith from her life.

After years of writing friendship, Bing Hua I knew in the beginning was an American Chinese poet with the most kind and pure temperament, focusing mainly on writing love poems. Later, we met in Washington and I was also invited to her warm and clean home. I learned from her writing that she was a life-oriented poet with her own sunshine. Later, in the in-depth exchange of poetry creation and relevant activities to promote the cause of poetry, I further discover the gradual leap of Rose Lu’s creation. Her poems have risen to the ideological level, integrating poems focusing on emotion with poems focusing on thought, making her an excellent poet with both charm and poetics. I believe in her poetic distant field, where there is a beautiful spiritual hometown.

In reading Bing Hua’s new book February’s Rose, I can see every poem evokes an artistic conception! That is indeed something extraordinary.
Artistic conception is the soul of poetry; the soul of poetry is the manifestation of the poet’s heart.
——Chi Lianzi, a renowned poet in the Kingdom of the Netherlands
5. Carissa Meng
If we could shine a poetic heart brighter, what we could see must be an exquisite crystal heart. Such is the heart Bing Hua has as a poet.
Open her poetry collection February’s Rose, and you will feel as if you’ve entered a rose garden of passion: Those flowers, in various colors and postures, will give you a sense of narrative briskness. What comes head-on to you is nothing but purity and fineness.
Bing Hua uses simple words and pure images to write about love and passion, melancholy and happiness and also expresses deep feelings, effusive wonders, and philosophical ideas.
Reading Bing Hua’s brisk and wit-glittering poems lightens and brightens our hearts.

Bing Hua's poetry deeply impresses me. First, it’s her sincerity. She is good at expressing her true feelings through poetic language, sublimating her feelings into brilliant art. Second, it’s her unique exquisite observation of females, which comes from her own life experience. Without exquisiteness, there will be no richness. Without richness, one is unlikely to write good words and poems. There is also the critical spirit embodied in Rose Lu's works. The critical spirit is the soul of art. Only critical spirit has profundity, which is particularly eye-catching in Rose Lu's poetry. This not only reflects her unique perspective, but also expresses a poet's sense of social responsibility. Rose Lu's poetry is worth tasting slowly and should not be missed.

Over the years, in the field of poetry, such soul-touching baby’s pureness and candor have been rarely seen. Her inter-cultural poetic creativity will almost certainly be well received by readers of different nationalities, from different ethnic backgrounds, and with different languages. Her remarkable poems, along with the footprints she has left on the poetic road, have provided thought-provoking topics for the study of literature.

9. Richard Tornello
These are poems my mother would like and I have to frame my comments in such a manner as to promote that aspect. Specifically I believe Bing Hua’s audience feels something missing in their lives such as lost loves, unrequited love things like that, and maybe misses the youth that allowed these feelings to blossom. Since Bing Hua has a wide audience I believe it resonates rather well with them. Bing Hua’s poems hit the nail on the head.
——Richard Tornello，Famous American Writer
10. Chen Yaping
Like an ethereal Sonata player, she is a poet who follows her heart enlightenment to write about the grand-narration of her rising and falling passion. She knows how to assess, grope for, and comprehend the poetic implication that descends from in the air and find the inspiration that wells from the soul before it comes into form. She is the very poet Bing Hua, “The Poet of Passion Kiln.”
Bing Hua’s poetic form reveals that she always takes what she sees in life as the burgeoning bud of her lyric and always exhibits the transcendence of her deeper passion hidden behind the actuality and her heart. Overall, in the emotional world of her poems, no wave surges in one singular, fixed, and accumulative direction. She always uses the first exuberant feeling as its original driving force to include infinite inner changes in the finite outer changes.
—— Chen Yaping， a renowned Chinese critic
11. Cheng Yong
Bing Hua's poetry is simple and sincere. This stems from her restrained and simple use of modifiers in poetry writing. She is good at "leaving blank" in the process of describing the plot of poetry, and then returns to the artistic effect of poetry. This is in line with the fundamental meaning of poetic aesthetics: it comes from the sounds of nature and human feelings.
——Cheng Yong ，Editor of Chinese and Foreign Pens
12. Yin Caigan
Bing Hua's poems are fresh, pure, elegant and flexible, full of infatuation and philosophy.
She uses her own unique artistic vision to observe objective things and the "spirit" of female gentle language to reflect the emotion of the object. Expressions with novelty in simplicity, unique images, and elegant and profound lines of poetry go straight into the reader's heart so that readers can ripple the polyphonic emotion with her, enjoy the pleasure of multiple aesthetics, promote the character of artistic cognition and obtain the enlightenment of life.
That’s the very poetry loved by readers.
——Yin Caigan，a famous poet

Bing Hua is an magic-making poetess who uses poetic words and smartly sparkling images to string life scenes as pearls into extraordinary necklaces. Be it love or friendship themed, each and every of her refined poems has a sort of spirit-purifying force that charms readers with a superficiality-free beauty.

At present, my big concern is that these translated poems will actually reach the poetry-lovers of the world, and that they, too, will enjoy these poems with just as much fondness as the Chinese readers do.

1）Bing Hua is a queen of love poetry. Her poems remind me great poet Tagore. Bing Hua views the world with eyes of lover. She sees the world with warm feelings, generous emotion and profund love, no matter a grass or a flower, morning or evening, like Tagore’s style.
2）Who says love is far away, love is in the wind, Bing Hua brings it to you. Who says poem is far away, poem is in the heart, Bing Hua hands out to your heart!
3）Bing Hua’s poetry are filled with wisdom and soul, warm and bright. I once asked her with curiosity, how she can write so many love poems, her reply deeply moved me. “dear friend，I have to answer you sincerely, every poem is written with my life and soul, every poem is part of my virtue practice, a sort of sublimation of feeling and spirit. My poetry is my creative crystallization, and extension of my life” Wow！this is the secret，the authentic and golden words，and this is why Bing Hua‘s poetry are so touching and moving.
