Features: Looking Back at Zhou Zuoren. This volume includes articles about Zhou Zuoren's betrayal. Zhou Zuoren initially wanted to endure life in Beijing but ultimately became a collaborator with the Japanese. At the time, there were those who persuaded him, those who rescued him, and those who condemned him. After the victory in the War of Resistance, Zhou Zuoren naturally had to face trial. There were those who demanded his punishment and those who sought to exonerate him. Since the 1980s, it has largely been the same. Whether it's "becoming ordinary by speaking of it" or making strenuous defenses, the events of the time are clear and undeniable, leaving no room for denial. Zhou Zuoren, as an elegant and profound figure, was undoubtedly transcendent. Perhaps a bit of the Confucian-style chastity and loyalty that seemed unattainable, but as a person, one should always have a bit of backbone.
