Good rain knows its time right； It will fall when comes spring. With wind it steals in night； Mute，it moistens each thing.

Do you know who wrote this poem above？Yes，it is Du Fu （712-770）.Most of you know his poems，but many people are not familiar（熟系） with the poet （詩人）.Thanks to a BBC film called Du Fu：China's Greatest Poet，people around the world have a chance to learn more about Du.This is the first English-language film about Du，and it compares him to William Shakespeare.
