Features: I don’t have any other abilities, but I insist on living by relying on this one hand. My wishes may seem grand, but my work ability is very low. At that time, life had already declared that medicine was no longer an option, but I didn’t care at all. I didn’t feel any sadness because I had experienced so much. Now, my position doesn’t allow me to speak, which is a fortunate thing. This book includes three speeches by late Shen Congwen in Hunan, conversations with American scholar Goldsworthy and assistant Wang Yarong, and some letters. The content is rich, profound, and little-known. Readers can rediscover the voice, smile, and demeanor of a master through the words, and enjoy his insights and enlightenment.
