Features: Cao Zikai's literary creations are most familiar to people as his essays and sketches from the 1930s. These works transcend worldly prejudices, observing society and savoring life with an artistic heart and philosophical reflections. From the ordinary and mundane, he discovers what others have not noticed, experiences what others have not experienced, and grasps what others have not understood. In the ever-changing flow of time and the irreversible process of life, classics are the words, sounds, and expressions that have conquered time. Those sincere statements, those fearless cries, and those reflections on the human spirit awaken our past hopes, inspire our current courage, and prevent us from being empty, vain, and skeptical of the future. These images of wise people and their timeless words purify our hearts, shake our souls, and teach us what can be missed but not forgotten, and what is fleeting yet invaluable.
