It sounds like your Chinese professor only know about your life aspirations because you told him about them in your writing. Your English professor on the other hand seems to have a genuine desire to get to know about you outside of just your poetry. The fact that you've been able to discuss your life/aspirations with him despite not having the opportunity to do so in office hours, makes me think that he would be an individual that would take writing a LOR for you very seriously.
My vote is for the Poetry professor.
