Tu Fu (or Du Fu) (712–770)

Chinese poet of the Tang dynasty. With Li Po, he was one of the two greatest Chinese poets. He wrote about the social injustices of his time, peasant suffering, and war, as in The Army Carts on conscription, and The Beauties, comparing the emperor's wealth with the lot of the poor.
