The source for the snippets of the poem, "Student," romanized the poet's name as Cheng Min, but the book came out in 1978. I'm using details (year of birth, educational history) from the few sentences in the bio from the book to match that name to the more correct romanization. I found the pdf source for the rest of the snippets while trying to confirm the match.
