Features: Li Ao, a renowned Taiwanese writer, is one of the influential figures in the literary world both at home and abroad. He is rigorous in his scholarship, knowledgeable in both Eastern and Western traditions, and has a rich and diverse body of work. His writings are unique, combining boldness with subtlety, wit with humor, where satire and ridicule all become part of his art. He has captured the attention of readers worldwide. In the process of editing this series of books, while respecting the author's wishes and preserving the original form of the works as much as possible, certain content with political leanings that cannot be by mainland readers has been omitted. This book is a critique by Li Ao on modern figures: there are unforgettable figures from the Nationalist Party and the May Fourth Movement, worth-remembering politicians, active intellectuals on the literary scene, sincere comrades who shared hardship in prison, famous directors in the film industry, and heartfelt tributes to the deceased. The emotions are genuine, and the characters come to life on the page.
