Features: "Myriad Phenomena" Monthly Magazine (July 1941 - June 1945), successively edited by Chen Dieyi and Ke Ling. It was like a lone log raft, stubbornly and painstakingly supporting itself amidst the fierce waves of the enemy and puppet regime in old Shanghai, and once served as a sanctuary for many patriotic and progressive writers. This book selects 70 essays, sketches, and miscellaneous writings from dozens of authors such as Li Jianwu, Shen Congwen, Ding Ling, Zhao Jingshen, Zheng Yimei, etc. The topics are broad, the styles diverse, and they occasionally spark ideological flames of cursing the darkness and yearning for the light. This holds significant value for understanding the social conditions and the mental landscapes of various strata at that time.
