Features: The creation of the book "Starry River" (Chinese Lexicographical Publishing House). The book records twenty-eight cultural celebrities, including poets such as Zang Kejia, Feng Zhi, Ren Jun, Xin Di, and Yan Yi; novelists like Zhou Erfu, Jun Qing, Dai Houying, and Shi Zhecun; translators such as Sun Dali, Qian Chunqi, and Bian Zhilin; and scholars like Liu Dajie, Wan Yunjun, Wang Yunxi, and Xu Zhongyu. 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 grandeur, and amiability that hides determination; Qin Yi's elegant appearance, beautiful exterior, and pure, kind-hearted interior; Zang Kejia's easygoing and magnanimous nature; Li Junmin's erudition and kindness; Jun Qing's simplicity and integrity; Chen Congzhou's straightforwardness and versatility; Qian Chunqi's and humility; Feng Zhi's sincerity and passion; Wang Yunxi's gentleness and kindness; Bian Zhilin's meticulousness; and Gu Yisheng's harmonious temperament—none of these left an extremely deep impression on me. From this, we can reflect that some of our nation's fine traditions and outstanding qualities are always passed down to future generations through certain carriers; and perhaps the vivid and powerful core of these carriers are these respected and virtuous cultural celebrities!
