Features: The characters selected in this book are not judged solely by their fame; they are mostly people Ye Meng knows or has interviewed. The sections on Zhou Yang, Zhou Libo, and Mo Yingfeng are both heart-wrenching documentary essays and exclusive revelations of little-known new literary history. Ye Meng is widely recognized as a master of lyrical prose. Through her diligent search for historical materials and follow-up interviews, she has gathered numerous details about the distant and faraway figures, bringing them back to life one by one in her writing. Her characters become vivid, concrete, and lively, filled with spirit and warmth. Although the book is composed of individual characters and independent chapters, it feels connected and smooth, like reading a complete story. Ye Meng's writing is intimate and vivid, as if one has returned to a long-lost hometown.
