Features: Published by Southeast University Press and designed by Shuyifang, this book "Double Life" presents a grand and lively style, exquisite and refined design, and is illustrated with images. It includes nearly 100 essays, reviews, and prose written by the author over more than ten years since university, graduate school, and work, divided into five parts: "Borrowing from Others' Peaks," "Rereading Classics," "Near View, Far Observation," "Youthful Scroll," and "Book Shadows and Literary Hearts." The text in the book is either profound and lingering, humorous and witty, sharp and incisive, or deeply moving, earning praise from critics as "concise brushwork and clear thinking," "deconstructing the heart and bone with fresh ideas," "scholarly spirit and refreshing charm," and "shattered gold and scattered jade, shining brilliantly." Some critics also suggest that the author should focus more on depth and closeness to general readers, as well as a stronger sense of life.
