Features: Huang Zongjiang describes himself as "a writer, an artist, and more accurately, a playwright." The "foreign sister-in-law" and "foreign sister" he refers to are both real people and also the aliases of his overseas friends. The events he describes are all related to cultural and artistic matters. In his writing, the records of friendship are meticulous, allowing readers to feel the value of friendship and the kindness, politeness, and humility among friends. Mr. Huang Zongjiang is a versatile writer and actor who excels in both film and theater, as well as a prose writer. This book is a collection of his essays on cultural and artistic exchanges between China and the world, spanning decades. The words are filled with a sense of vicissitudes yet brimming with diverse charm. The excerpts selected here are from his visits to Japan and the United States in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Many of the contents, such as the friendly exchanges between the Chinese and Japanese people and the preservation of important buildings with historical and artistic value, still hold practical significance today.
