Features: The author takes the meaning of chatting while basking in the sun, writing articles in the early 1980s about the old people and old events centered around Peking University in the early 1930s. The collection includes over 60 articles on figures like Zhang Taiyan and Huang Huiwen, titled Sunlight Chat, published in 1986. The intention is to record people worth remembering, things worth feeling, and emotions worth cherishing. The author says, "It is written as poetry and history," so the prose is always light yet serious, humorous yet tearful. After its publication, numerous reviews and commentaries were published in domestic and international newspapers and magazines, praising the author's profound insights and deep emotions. With a style as effortless and natural as flowing clouds, he wrote a modern New Stories of the World, depicting the passage of time with a sense of compassion for humanity, a lament for the past and reflection on the present. The uniqueness of the book's format, the height of its literary craftsmanship, and its rarity in recent years are highly regarded. Starting in the autumn of 1988, the author wrote more of these articles, organized by person, place, event, and idea, collecting over 50 pieces on figures like Su Hongming and Zhang Qingtong, titled Sunlight Chat Continues, published in 1990. After its publication, it was still considered a beloved read by many. Later, the author continued writing such articles, and with the accumulation of manuscripts, this Sunlight Chat Three was compiled. Its content and style are similar to those of Chat and Continues, so readers who enjoyed the first two books should also read this one.
