Features: On August 1, 1966, a body of an elderly man was found in Taihu Lake in Beijing. He was quietly recovered and cremated on the same day, yet his name did not vanish with the exhausted and frail body. Instead, many years later, on every anniversary of his birth, people would bestow an immortal halo upon him. His mysterious "unusual death" had already, without notice, become part of historical legend. Why would this man, who had used his pen to create countless vivid lives and brought joy to countless others, end his life in solitude? This book holds the answer!
