Features: This book is a comprehensive collection of prose by Professor Ji Xianlin. Professor Ji Xianlin, known for his expertise in South Asian studies (North treating the South) and his Western education with profound understanding of Eastern studies, is renowned for his academic excellence. However, his skill in writing prose is often overlooked. In reality, his articles have always accompanied his scholarship, serving as another form of his intellectual life. The essence of Ji Xianlin's prose lies in "authenticity." The emotional bonds he creates connect him to the people and things around him, bridging the present with the past. His words are as plain as they come, and his emotions are as pure as can be. The literary tower he constructs is adorned with a rich diversity of styles, making it a form of polyphonic prose. Zhong Jingwen aptly describes it: "Fleeting blossoms may seem fragrant, but it is plain words and pure emotions that truly shine. I adore the elegance of Professor Ji's literary style, like an old hermit sharing stories at home." There could not be a more fitting description.
