Features: The Selected Letters of Fu Lei has sold over a million copies and has had a wide impact on readers. However, what kind of father and son were Fu Lei and Fu Cong, and why did Fu Lei pour his heart into writing The Selected Letters of Fu Lei? This book Fu Lei and Fu Cong provides a detailed answer. Fu Lei and Fu Cong were a special father and son: after Fu Lei was labeled a rightist, Fu Cong left; and Fu Cong's departure led to Fu Lei and his wife taking their own lives under the brutal political persecution during the Cultural Revolution. This tragic chain reaction is the real background behind the creation of The Selected Letters of Fu Lei! The author of this book interviewed Fu Cong as well as his younger brother Fu Min, and also interviewed over twenty of Fu Lei's relatives, using a wealth of firsthand materials to write it.
