The man I knew, Ji Xianlin, is hard to classify. He was a broad-minded, down-to-earth elder who was approachable, yet his writing was eloquent and brilliant. He possessed the dignified and style of Shandong, with a profound and encompassing demeanor. He never sought to show off his knowledge or boast of his learning; he was grounded and meticulous in his scholarship. When it came to research, he had to "fish out all the fish in the pond," and these four words perfectly reflect his relentless pursuit of knowledge. If used as a guiding principle for others, it would be second to none.

Ji Xianlin embodied three rare qualities: profound scholarship, simplicity and integrity, and deep emotions. Among these, I believe the rarest is simplicity and integrity, because among the many renowned scholars I have encountered (including the deceased), it is difficult to find another like him.
