Features: This book compiles 31 essays by Xu Zhimo, a renowned modern Chinese poet and prose writer, discussing topics such as the era, life, society, and ideals, as well as personal experiences, inner journeys, and emotional worlds. It also includes over a hundred diary entries and letters. The content differs from other previously published collections of Xu Zhimo's essays, which are edited with the intention of showcasing the author's thought processes and artistic characteristics. From the perspective of selection, this is a new attempt. Of course, since it does not deviate from the scope of selecting prose works, it also hopes that the included articles possess strong literary qualities and reflect Xu Zhimo's artistic style, which is light, lively, like "a gushing, splashing life stream," and has "colors that are too rich to blend."
