Features: The texts collected in this book mostly narrate my interactions with some friends in the literary and art circles. These friends include my respected predecessors in the literary world, my peers, and also younger friends. The depth and length of my interactions with them vary, but they have all compelled me to record them in writing. Such interactions have taken root, sprouted, and grown like seeds in my heart, and these writings are the flowers that these seeds have bloomed into. Some of the characters I depict in my writings have passed away. This book is also a tribute and remembrance of them. After completing this book, the immortal line by Su Dongpo keeps echoing in my mind: "May the people live long, sharing the bright moon across a thousand miles."
