Features: Zhu Ziqing, a renowned prose writer and poet. Born in Yangzhou, Jiangsu. Graduated from Peking University in 1920. Studied in the UK from 1931 to 1932. Served as a professor at institutions such as Tsinghua University and Yunnan Union University. In August 1948, he refused to accept American relief grain and passed away in Beijing due to poverty and illness. Zhu Ziqing's prose style is simple, meticulous, elegant, and profound, known for its refined language and exquisite writing. He not only kept pace with the times but also propelled it forward; he not only walked forward with the youth but also led them forward. He moved from serving life to serving the people; from writing literature for bloodshed to struggling for the survival of the people; from portraying "my class" to praising the collective strength of the masses; from being a "recluse" to becoming a democratic fighter. He was a star, quietly rising in a sky filled with stars, silently shining with unique radiant light, enduring and unextinguished. This book includes: Miscellaneous poems, On the way forward for Chinese poetry, The development of Chinese prose, Standards and measures of literature, May Fourth-era literature, The seriousness of literature, On seriousness, etc.
