This book is a collection of love letters between the renowned writer and translator Feng Yidai and his second wife, Huang Zongying. The collection includes nearly 300 love letters exchanged between the two. In these 400,000-character letters, emotions and knowledge are two essential elements. In the love letters, Feng Yidai and Huang Zongying express their longing for each other, with passion and romance in their words that even surpass those of young lovers. Another main content of the letters is the exchange of knowledge. The two discuss literature, English, newly learned knowledge, and their views on life. Although they are love letters, the content is rich and the frequency is high—sometimes writing three letters in a single day.
In one letter, Feng Yidai described his feelings as follows: "Receiving your four letters over three consecutive days truly brought me joy. What could be more wonderful than reading your heart?"
