Features: Batel is an old friend and confidant I have known for over a decade. From mutual understanding to acquaintance, and then from acquaintance back to mutual understanding, our past interactions may not have been frequent, but we were always sincere and deeply connected. Though seemingly ordinary, our bond was anything but mundane. Batel is neither arrogant nor humble; he is modest and open-minded. He possesses the elegance of a scholar and the rigor of an intellectual. He works diligently and lives with integrity, pouring every drop of sweat into his work and taking every step with determination. Anyone who knows, meets, or interacts with him can sense his diligence, erudition, and kindness. This is also why we have become close friends and kindred spirits.
Batel is a renowned poet and writer in the region. Since 1985, eight of his books have been published in collections. After stepping down from his administrative position in 2002, he revised and expanded his four-volume Selected Works, which were published in 2003. Among these volumes, the Reflections section is particularly outstanding, while the Poetry and Essays sections also contain many brilliant pieces. What surprised me was that just over a year later, last year, Batel placed three thick manuscripts on my desk—the newly published and exquisite Aroma of Books Trilogy.
I remember flipping through them and being instantly impressed, feeling deeply moved. I immediately recognized that this would undoubtedly be a bestseller, even in its first printing, and expressed my willingness to strongly recommend it to publishers far away.
