Features: "The view stretches into the distance, as if lost in the of life. With tear-filled eyes, leaning on the tower, countless green outside. Past events are like smoke and willow catkins, and longing is the spring that never fades." — Liang Shiqiu, "Reminiscences in the Elegant Hut" is Liang Shiqiu's most important work in his later years. In it, "Dreams of the Locust Garden" deeply narrates his fifty-three years of legendary love with his wife, Cheng Jishu; "Remembering Bing Xin" showcases his fifty years of mutual understanding and appreciation with the elderly Bing Xin; "Remembering Lao She" records the exchanges and friendships between Lao She and others with him during the War of Resistance in Chongqing at the "Elegant Hut"; and more are his memories of his hometown from afar in the thirty-eight miles away from his homeland.
