Features: In my forty-five years of life, the days spent with the collection of Liang Qichao's works "Inseparable" spanned fifteen years. Looking back today, it still feels astonishing. Calculating it, the half-century separates Liang Qichao, who passed away in 1929, from me, who first read his books. The earliest articles of the Liang family that I encountered were even written nearly a century ago. Yet I feel no distance between them. Those lead-type characters printed on paper are full of vitality, introducing a vigorous Mr. Ren Gong into my world. — Xia Xiaohong, "Becoming Acquainted with Liang Qichao" (1998).
