Wong Yoon Wah, whose poetry is penetrated with bounteous humanity feelings taking the integration of spirit of freedom with nature as both its starting point and destination, is an important poet in Overseas Chinese literature. As regards the spirit of nature and freedom, Wong Yoon Wah has his own unique spiritual tradition which can be traced back to Ssu-kung Tu, representative of the integration of spirit of freedom with nature in ancient Chinese culture-civilization. It is on the basis of this tradition that his earlier poems get started and his postcolonial poems are enhanced. Profoundly aware of the existent dilemma of modern human beings: dominance of Mechanical and Social Technology, Wong Yoon Wah has opened up a new approach towards his poetry, on which he pursues freedom, exposes the violence of technology and returns to the earth.
