Zheng Xiaoqiong (1980) moved from Sichuan to Dongguan, one of the major industrial centers in South China, in 2001, hoping for a better life. She worked in different factories and started writing poems about it. With this penetrating work, Zheng became an icon: she published about ten collections of poetry, won many prizes and has been translated into many languages. In 2019 she was a guest at the Rotterdam Poetry International Festival.
