Features: A seasoned scholar, he began writing poetry, prose, collecting folk tales, and folk songs before the age of 20. In his youth, he published academic works and collections of essays and poems one by one. Now, at nearly 100 years old, he still works full-time. Japanese scholars call him the "Father of Chinese Folklore Studies," and his close friends call him the "Longevity Star." Yu Dafu once praised his prose as: "Clarity and purity, surpassing Zhou Zuoren and Bing Xin, ranking third." This is Zhong Jingwen, the subject of this book.
