Features: This book continues the style of Wen Hui: rooted in originality, inheriting culture. It includes nearly 100 articles from the "Wen Hui Bi Society," with contributors being prominent figures active in the cultural sphere recently, such as Yu Yingshi, Wang Shixiang, Feng Jicai, Hu Xiaoming, Jie Chen, Chen Cun, Zhou Guoping, Zhu Jianguo, Han Shishan, Wang Anyi, Chen Sihuo, Jin Yong, Kobo Abe, Liu Qingbang, Liu Xinwu, Wang Meng, Shao Yanxiang, Mo Yan, Shu Yi, Zhou Ruchang, Sun Ganlu, and others. The articles are divided into sections such as: Celebrating the New Year, Dear Comrades, Hometown and the World, Passing Years and Film Viewing, Commentary, Special Topics: Several Years of Ba Jin, Special Topics: Oral and Intangible Cultural Heritage, Reflections of History, Daily Life and Others. Most of the articles are short but profound, every word a gem, striking at the core. Some are moving, some reflective. "Every time I wake up, you're not there"—these eight words carry deep, intense emotions that pierce the heart, leaving us unable to escape. And this kind of emotion is perhaps the essential force that helps us be human. May the "Bi Society" accompany those many moments of awakening, accompanying you and me in our eternal search for what has been lost.
