Features: Luo Rongqu (1927-1996), during his 50 years at Peking University, experienced four historical periods: the Southwest Associated University in Kunming, the Peking University on the Red Building after its reopening, the Peking University in Yan Yuan, and the new Peking University after the reform and opening up. This book is compiled from the author's diary during his student days at Peking University and letters written after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It primarily records the rich and diverse campus life at Peking University, the charm of numerous academic masters such as Hu Shi, Zhu Ziqing, and Feng Youlan, and the author's journey from a university student to a renowned scholar. At the same time, it also shows how the author, from being immersed in books, gradually awakened and aligned with the times, enduring hardships in political movements like the Cultural Revolution while striving to excel, and demonstrating a noble spirit and sentiments—unwavering in the pursuit of truth, willing to dedicate himself to the cause of modernization. The entire book is thought-provoking and deeply moving.
