Features: Zhou Zuoren was one of the first to introduce the concept of "beautiful prose" from the West in theory, advocating for literary narrative and lyrical prose. His essays played a positive role in the development of modern Chinese prose. "Bitter Rain" is an essay that uses "describing things to express feelings." "Bitter Rain" represents the author's mood to some extent at the time. Through memory, imagination, and narration, various kinds of "rain" are brought to life on the page, written with remarkable ease, but the entire essay is shrouded in a faint melancholy. The use of the "letter format" further enhances the conversational tone. Generally, "private matters" that do not typically appear in poetry are written with great flavor by the author, showcasing his exceptional talent.
