Features: All the works included in this collection are by authors familiar to the author. In terms of creative approach, the author primarily adopts a narrative style of "what I see." The title of the collection, "What I See," is borrowed from Eileen Chang's essay collection that wrote about trivial matters around her and expressed her reflections on human relationships and the world. The content of "seeing" naturally varies, but emphasizing this "seeing" is to stress that what is written are things the author has personally witnessed, heard, and experienced, rather than "rumors" or "hearsay." The articles included in the collection, regardless of length, are inspired by what the author has seen, heard, and felt. The author believes that such writings differ from personal reflective essays. For this type of writing, the first thing to emphasize is a sense of "truth," highlighting its authenticity. Readers of such writings are first interested in the person being described, and only then in the author's talent and literary style. In addition to the textual descriptions of the characters in the book, the author has included a large number of relevant images, making the reading experience feel very intimate! This book documents the literary creative lives, thoughts, and personalities of writers such as Xia Yan, Ba Jin, Ke Ling, Bing Xin, Zhou Yang, Wu Qiang, Feng Mu, Wang Meng, Tian Nianxuan, Wang Yuanhua, and Qian Guren.
