Renowned poet and writer Wei Qilin passed away on October 26, 2023, in Nanning at the age of 89 due to illness. Born in 1935 in Heng County, Guangxi, Wei was one of the most influential ethnic minority writers in contemporary Chinese literature and a leading figure in Zhuang literary culture. He began writing poetry in his youth and gained nationwide recognition for his narrative long poem ‘The Hundred-Bird Robe,’ which masterfully blends Zhuang folklore with modern poetic techniques, characterized by lyrical beauty and emotional sincerity. The work is widely regarded as a classic of China’s ethnic minority literature in the post-1949 era. Throughout his life, Wei wrote in both Zhuang and Mandarin, dedicating himself to preserving and innovating his cultural heritage. He received numerous national literary awards and held leadership roles in the Guangxi Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Writers Association, significantly advancing literary development in Southwest China. His passing marks a profound loss for Chinese literature and the Zhuang community, as he was not only a gifted artist but also a steadfast guardian of indigenous culture. His works remain widely read and studied, ensuring his literary legacy endures.
