Features: Yang Jiang possesses profound expertise in traditional Chinese culture and extensive knowledge of Western studies. With her rigorous academic approach and sharp intellect, her novels, essays, and dramas are unique and have had a significant impact on readers. These works, spanning over seventy years, reflect, from one perspective, the evolution of our era and showcase the intellectual journey of a scholar. While studying foreign literature, Yang Jiang also translated numerous world literary masterpieces and wrote a series of insightful research papers on them, which have garnered positive responses in the field of foreign literature studies. This book selects twenty-three important essays written by the author in the 1980s, including Six Records from the Dry School, Reminiscences of My Father, and Chronicles of the Years Bingwu and Dingmo. Among them, the essays that recall people and old times provide readers with many precious historical materials little known to the public. Chronicles of the Years Bingwu and Dingmo, in particular, records the author's personal experiences and observations during the "Cultural Revolution," as well as her various struggles as a "scapegoat" in the movement. Unlike general accounts of the "Cultural Revolution," one former Red Guard who read this article later said, "Thank you, Yang Jiang, for removing the 'wolf skin' that was draped over us."
