Features: This book reflects the authentic life of Yu Dafu, encompassing his romantic and unmoored life, his left-leaning revolutionary thoughts, and the personal life of a patriotic literary figure who expressed the nation's grievances. Strictly speaking, this book is not merely a biography but a history of Chinese literature and art from the May Fourth Movement to the War of Resistance. Through it, you can glimpse the life trajectories, historical fragments, and artistic footprints of literary giants such as Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Mao Dun, Xu Zhimo, Lin Zhimuo, Lin Yutang, and Zhou Zuoren. Moreover, it is a history of modern China, from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, all the way to the liberation. Without understanding the atmosphere of China's modern history, marked by humiliation, you cannot grasp Yu Dafu's thoughts and life. His complex personality is deeply intertwined with his hardships, achievements, and life experiences. His life and creations are inseparable from the historical context and the humiliation of his homeland. Readers enter a three-dimensional, panoramic world. The author, through this panoramic and three-dimensional creation, truly reflects Yu Dafu's history with the modern Chinese literary scene and restores his authentic image.
