Features: Looking Back at Zhou Zuoren. This volume includes critical essays on Zhou Zuoren. Zhou Zuoren was a complex figure, and it is not easy to judge him. Morally and personally, he had great merits but was also greatly muddled; in terms of thought and writing, his profound depth was beyond words. Precisely because of this, the study and criticism of Zhou Zuoren have become a field of knowledge. By reading through the critical writings over the decades, we can continuously gain new insights and inspire reflection. The ancients said: "What has happened before will happen again, and what has been done before will be done again. There is no new thing under the sun." The cycles of the world repeat endlessly, yet we are always unable to fully grasp these countless repetitions.
