Features: This book is a collection of autobiographical essays by the author, covering the period from his birth in 1930 to his graduation in 1952. Generally, those who write memoirs are figures of the times, having personally experienced or witnessed several historical moments and holding significant influence over society or a particular industry, thus attracting readers to explore. The author, Li Wenjun, is a renowned translator and expert in American literature and Faulkner studies. He was also the editor-in-chief of World Literature, a magazine known as the "cradle of Chinese translators," and holds a position and wide influence in both the translation field and the study of foreign literature in China. In this book, the author vividly recalls his journey from birth to university and his early engagement in the translation of foreign literature, offering readers an insight into how an ordinary child grows up. More importantly, the author stays true to the social context of the time, observing people, events, and things from a child's perspective, painting a lifelike picture of a child's world and truly achieving what the author strives for: "seeing the whole world from a grain of sand."
