Features: "Fate met, fate met!" Fate met the elders of culture who have transcended the mists of history and are alive in the current era. Fate met the stories of those who have passed away but whose memories linger. They are not only Ji Qing, Lu Ling, Zeng Zhuo, Sun Dian, Lü Yuan, Zhu Jian, Luo Fei, Hu Zheng, Peng Yanjiao, Hua Tie, Lu Mei, Li Guangtian, Lü Jian, Shao Zinan, but also the shadows of Mei Zhi, the wife of Hu Feng, and Liu Yin, the wife of Wang Shiwei. Their figures were once elusive in the mists of the past, yet they have not faded into the annals of Chinese cultural history. "To be alive is evidence." Their cases provoke thought—their bitterness indescribable—but some are tireless in pursuing this endless cultural journey of suffering. Long admired, long admired! Long admired at the summit of culture, I have paid homage to Gao Mang, Liu Shaha, Zhou Dai, Xu Lu, Wei Xinming, Gong Mingde, and other renowned scholars from north and south. I have had numerous good meetings; I have also immersed myself in the book markets of the north and south, experiencing countless encounters in buying and selling books—some rare books even emit the mists of history, leading to heart-wrenching stories and revealing different aspects of life. Such good meetings, such encounters have nurtured an intellectual soul, imbued with a touch of poetry. For those who share his appreciation, this cultural journey is undoubtedly a labor of love. With the cultural sentiment of "merchants and laborers"—even self-identifying as such—the author has combed through the hazy past of the members of the "Hu Feng Counter-Revolutionary Group," revealing his own cultural journey in reality. Reading it, it is sometimes solemn, sometimes humorous—showing his sense of the weight and excitement of his search and discovery, and revealing the cruelty and integrity, the absurdity and dignity of history and life. Let the veil of the past be lifted. Let us take this cultural journey from the perspective of a "merchant or laborer" and follow the author on this path? Perhaps, you will feel: indeed, it is a good meeting. Additionally, this book is specially printed in 200 copies of rough-edge binding, exclusively for those who appreciate this art. We look forward to our "rough-edge party members." Fate met! Fate met!
