He has long been dedicated to the study of traditional Chinese culture and the promotion of humanistic spirit. He is erudite and prolific in his writings. After China experienced seventeen years of left-leaning cultural policies and the devastation of the Cultural Revolution, the current enthusiasm for Master Nan Huaijin is deeply thought-provoking and heartening. This book is a biography of Master Nan Huaijin. From it, we not only read the life of a wise elder but also an almost obsessive love for traditional culture. This book is the most detailed biography to date that chronicles the life and deeds of Master Nan Huaijin. Based on his self-narratives in his writings, accounts by his disciples, and the author's own interactions and understanding, it vividly and thoroughly describes Master Nan's background, experiences, knowledge, writings, teachings, life, and the numerous beneficial contributions he has made to the nation and its people since the reform and opening up in mainland China, such as investing in the construction of the Jinwen Railway, establishing scholarships at some universities, and promoting exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
