Features: This book is co-authored by Yang Jiang, the stepson and stepdaughter of Qian Yuan, as well as her teachers, students, colleagues, and friends. In We Three, Qian Yuan, known by her childhood nickname "Yuanyuan," appears infrequently, but a Qian Yuan—honest, rigorous in scholarship, filial, humble, and full of charm—emerges before the readers. However, Yang Jiang's focus is more on the family's bond. Due to continuous requests from readers seeking to learn more about Qian Yuan, this book was created. It is reported that the book includes numerous photographs of Qian Yuan, each accompanied by personal annotations written by Yang Jiang, who even called Qian Yuan her "only masterpiece in life." In addition to supplementing Qian Yuan's biography, this book also clarifies details about her marriage. Since We Three did not mention Qian Yuan's husband, readers have had many speculations, and some online articles have discussed her marriage, but due to various reasons, many of them were incomplete or inaccurate. In Our Qian Yuan, Yang Jiang and Qian Yuan's former husband, Wang De, who were close friends and classmates, respectively, contribute essays detailing the beginning and end of Qian Yuan's marriage. Through these accounts, readers can glimpse a warm yet sorrowful chapter of this family. Additionally, Qian Yuan's stepson and stepdaughter have written about Qian Yuan's family life with her second husband, Yang Weicheng.
