Features: A lonely, proud yet gentle and kind soul gradually emerges in two hundred and thirty-nine letters... Mr. Fu Lei has passed away for thirty-five years, yet the footsteps of the master still echo in the depths of our memories: the translator Fu Lei who introduced John Christopher to us, the artist Fu Lei who wrote Twenty Lectures on World Famous Art, and the loving father Fu Lei who painstakingly discussed character, art, and music with his son Fu Cong. This book collects more than thirty letters from Mr. Fu Lei, a renowned Chinese literary and artistic translator, to his friends and peers, totaling two hundred and thirty-nine, ranging from the 1930s to the day of his death (1966), spanning over thirty years. In these letters, the author discusses literature, explores art, comments on translation, touches on national affairs, family matters, and world issues, fully revealing Mr. Fu Lei's upright character and human sentiments as a representative of intellectuals in that era. Reading them alongside Letters from Fu Lei to His Son, one can gain a more comprehensive understanding of his art, life, and spiritual world.
