Features: In "Record of Reflecting on Past Miseries," the author recalls the various political movements since the Yan'an "Rescue Movement," an experience that middle-aged and older Chinese people cannot avoid. But few can pour out the thoughts and harms of the "Left" as unhesitatingly as she does. In 1998, after the publication of "Record of Reflecting on Past Miseries," it sparked huge repercussions, inspiring many intellectuals to reflect on their sense of responsibility and mission towards history, and thus was dubbed the "Wei Junyi Phenomenon" by the cultural. The autobiographical novel "Lu Sha's Path" is a companion piece to the memoir "Record of Reflecting on Past Miseries" and also an interpretation of the former. Like "Record of Reflecting on Past Miseries," it reflects the 20th-century China.
