Features: The creation of the book "Starry River" (Chinese Lexicographical Publishing House). The book records twenty-eight cultural celebrities, including poets Zang Kejia, Feng Zhi, Ren Jun, Xin Di, and Yan Yi; novelists Zhou Erfu, Jun Qing, Dai Huying, and Shi Zhecun; translators Sun Dali, Qian Chunqi, and Bian Zhilin; and scholars Liu Dajie, Wan Yunjun, Wang Yunxi, and Xu Zhongyu, among others. Additionally, it includes several artists such as He Luting, Qin Yi, Chen Congzhou, and Zhang Ruifang. Despite their diverse personalities, they all possess shining qualities. For example, He Luting's quick wit, humor that exudes magnanimity, and amiability without a lack of determination; Qin Yi's elegant and beautiful appearance with a pure and kind heart; Zang Kejia's easygoing and magnanimous nature; Li Junmin's erudition and kindness; Jun Qing's approachability and integrity; Chen Congzhou's straightforwardness and versatility; Qian Chunqi's simplicity and humility; Feng Zhi's sincerity and enthusiasm; Wang Yunxi's gentleness and kindness; Bian Zhilin's meticulousness; and Gu Yisheng's harmonious and amiable demeanor—all of these left an extremely deep impression on me. From this, we reflect that some of the fine traditions and outstanding qualities of our motherland and nation are always passed down to future generations through certain carriers; and the vivid and powerful core of these carriers may just be these respected and highly skilled cultural celebrities!
