Features: This book is part of the "Elephant Character Focus Series" published by the Elephant Publishing House. This series highlights historical photographs and image materials, with Li Hui as the author. Although he has been criticized by some young critics as a "recorder of conversations with the elderly," the characters he writes about are truly worth reading. For example, "Liang Sicheng: Eternal Confusion," "Deng Tuo: Books Fill the Paper, Scholars Weary," and "Lao She: The Disappearing Taihu Lake." Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang are considered a perfect match as a Chinese-English couple. Over half a century, they have collaborated to translate Chinese literary works into English, from pre-Qin prose to "Water Margin" and "Dream of the Red Chamber," totaling over a hundred titles. This book uses rich historical photographs to highlight their personalities and destinies, as well as the characteristics of the era.
