Shakespeare And Li Bai

Shakespeare was a great play writer. He was very famous four hundred years ago and Li Bai was also a great poet in Tang Dynasty. They were both known writers in past history, but they had different ends in their personal lives.
Shakespeare had a close relationship with the Queen of that time and he played drama in front of the Queen frequently. He also had good friendship with the nobles of that age. He was quite active in the political circles.
Due to his drama so famous, such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, he made big amount of money from dramas. He, then, invested his money to build a theatre for the purpose of showing his plays. He became of man of talent and wealth. He was a rich writer at that time.
Going back to our Chinese poet Li Bai, whose luck in the beginning was good. He also had good impression from the King of that time Emperor Ming Of Tang. He was called to palace and made several poems for King’s concubine Yang Yuhuan, who was very pleased with these poems. He received reward of ten thousand ounce of gold from the King. He enjoyed the money not very long because he squandered money very carelessly. Unfortunately, the King called him no more to make further poems. Therefore, he lived a poor life when he was at an old age.
