This analysis illuminates the technical excellence for which Du Fu's poetry has been long esteemed. I think Du Fu's formal brilliance merged with his sensitive and compassionate regard for the world is the basis for posterity's elevation of him as the single greatest poet in Chinese literature.

You are absolutely right!! It is for this reason that he is still loved by all Chinese speaking communities around the world!!
