Features: This book offers a fresh perspective on Xu Zhimo, providing interpretive insights into his twenty prose pieces, accompanied by the original texts. Unlike typical books that solely analyze Xu Zhimo's poetry from an artistic standpoint, this work delves into his prose to conduct a comprehensive study of him. It evaluates both his character and works from multiple angles—his personal integrity, academic pursuits, literary style, and more—extolling his noble qualities, strong sense of social responsibility, deep love for his country and people, as well as his progressive ideological consciousness. This book also distinguishes itself from conventional studies on Xu Zhimo, showcasing its unique personality. The entire text employs the "galloping wild horse" style of thinking found in Xu Zhimo's prose, characterized by its divergent and expansive nature. Mr. Xu Yan, the great-nephew of Xu Zhimo and a professor at Tongji University in Shanghai, reveals many little-known historical facts and information, making the book rich in cultural and humanistic, with strong historical perception and readability. This book opens up a new realm in Xu Zhimo studies, demonstrating significant innovation. For scholars and researchers engaged in Xu Zhimo studies, it undoubtedly serves as a valuable reference and source of inspiration.
