Features: This book collects interviews with ten writers and scholars conducted by Mr. Fu Guangming over a period of two years. Each of them has left behind a corner of their own diverse, complex, and profound spiritual world in the "past voices," at least revealing their true personalities there. Literary interviews also have the meaning of oral history of the interviewed writers, and as the interviewer, one acts as a "secretary" who collects the words of the writers for the "historian." The literary historical records may provide future literary historians with a "thorough and incisive narrative" while leaving behind the rare "traces of the writers' thoughts and actions."
