Features: This is a historical account of the fate of a generation of Chinese intellectuals written in the form of biographies. The names of Feng Xuefeng, Nie Gongnu, Ba Ren, Meng Chao, Niu Han, Lou Shiyi, Yan Wenjing, Wei Junyi, Lü Yuan, Shu Wu, Lin Chen, Qin Zhaoyang, and Jiang Lu are not only deeply embedded in the turbulent history of modern and contemporary Chinese culture and literature but are also closely linked to No. 166 Chaobei Street, Beijing—the People's Literature Publishing House. Independent, unyielding, sincere, transcendent, courageous, tenacious, stubborn, modest, and down-to-earth—each of them is capable of forming a social unit with rich independent spiritual and cultural value. However, when the author faces these numerous life scenes, delves into the essence, and organically arranges them, the power to move the heart becomes even more profound as the unity of history is revealed. This is the power of character, the power of tragedy, and above all, the power of reason.
