Abstract: The key word in Li Jinfa's poems is “death”, that is, he uses his poems to narrate the event of “death”, or the reason of “death”. However, the philosophical concept of “death” in his poems is not a continuation of the concept of “death” in traditional Chinese culture, but a transcendence from the tradition into modern Western culture, especially the concept of death advocated by German philosopher Schopenhauer — his “pessimistic outlook on life”. In this sense, Li Jinfa, who studied in France, was not only the first poet in the history of Chinese New Poetry to understand the essence of Western modernism, but also the first poet who let the Chinese New Poetry have a dialogue with the Western modern philosophy, and directly participate in the creation of Chinese New Poetry in the form of ideological resources. His less skillful and far-reaching interdisciplinary and intertextual integration has not only changed the lyric dominated aesthetic pedigree of Chinese poetry, but also brought in the tradition of philosophy and meditation of Western modernist poetry, thus contributing to the integration of Chinese poetry into the world poetry.

Key words: Li Jinfa, Schopenhauer, pessimismistic philosophy, death
