Features: He only knew he was born in Meixian, Guangdong, and his mother was an abandoned child; he did not know who his biological father was, and his childhood was spent in disdain and humiliation. He joined the Communist Party of China at an early age and was sent to Moscow to serve as an English translator for the Young Communist International. He returned to China with instructions from the Communist International to establish an anti-Japanese national united front, but he encountered suspicion and misunderstanding. He was arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang, and after his release, he faced scrutiny and suspicion. From then on, he worked as a revolutionary cultural worker under the guise of a democratic person. Professor Huang Yeyan was renowned as a poet, professor, and literary theorist. The oral autobiography he completed before his death reveals another side of his life—his pursuit and involvement in the revolution. He was a participant and witness to many major historical events. This book provides us with many valuable and little-known historical materials.
