Features: Wu Mi and Wu Fangji, despite both being cultural conservatives with shared intellectual pursuits, experienced vastly different levels of recognition. Whether in life or death, Wu Mi's prominence and Wu Fangji's obscurity present a striking contrast. If we set aside the utilitarian considerations of worldly status and return to a fresh observation of the historical context, we would discover that the relationship between these two was extraordinary and witnessed different trajectories of moral practice among modern Chinese intellectuals. This book reconstructs the remarkable history of their interactions in a "harmonious" manner, following the chronological order.
