Content Summary
This book recounts the life of a legendary figure in Chinese Buddhism at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, Su Manshu, with detailed materials and vivid writing. People called him "lover-hater," "poet monk," "artist monk," and "revolutionary monk," but no matter what, he was still a "monk." His father was a businessman from Guangdong, and his mother was Japanese. As an illegitimate child, he suffered the pain of losing his mother and being discriminated against from a young age. Out of necessity, he entered the monastery at the age of 13. Through personal struggle, he later became a famous writer and painter and participated in the Revolutionary Alliance, earning the respect of Sun Yat-sen.
