News at Eleven: [Lawrence Lim] said that Li Bai would probably

enjoy British Columbia, a province of natural extremes where towering mountains meet the ocean in dramatic fashion.

"He wrote about people and the surrounding scenery, about creation and nature, which never changes. He wrote those poems thousands of years ago, but when you look at the mountains today in say Howe Sound (the area around Vancouver); it's the same green mountains. It's the ability to express human feelings and how they are linked with nature that really reveals Li Bai's incredible literary skills."
