Features: After Luo Zhenyu, among those who recorded his life, studied his thoughts, inherited his scholarship, and compiled his works, the most prolific and accomplished scholar is the renowned historian and literary scholar, Professor Jizhu. The "Yongfeng Xiangren Xianianlu (Ruo Zhenyu Nianshu)" (Published by Jiangsu People's Publishing House in 1980, later released in traditional Chinese by Taiwan Xingsutang in 1987, and published in Japanese by Kyoto Chinese Publishing House) is a chronicle of the Ruo family, praised by the famous documentologist Zhang Shunhui as "meticulously narrated, free of exaggeration or empty words, trustworthy and transmissible." His book "Tingwen Yilu—Recollections of My Grandfather Ruo Zhenyu's Life" (First published in "Changchun Shiwenzhi Liao" by the Changchun Municipal People's Congress in 1985, and published by Jilin Shiwenzhi Publishing House in 1987) was commended by Professor Tan Fuchui of Yangzhou Normal University as "truthful in facts, balanced in opinions, with warm and concise writing, neither rambling nor digressive, so that each chapter leaves one eager to read more." He has also edited works such as "Gan Ru Conggao" (Pending publication) and "The Death of Wang Guowei" (Published in traditional Chinese by Taiwan Qiling Publishing House in 1995 and in simplified Chinese by Guangdong Education Publishing House in 1999), which harshly refuted certain claims. He has made his grandfather's life and career a key research topic, driven not by anything else but the desire to promote the splendid traditional culture of our motherland. Among his works, there are also numerous records and critiques of his grandfather's life. As for his articles recalling, researching, and evaluating the lives, thoughts, and scholarship of his ancestors, dozens have been published, exerting a wide influence both at home and abroad. This book is a collection and compilation by the renowned writer and educator, Professor Jizhu, of his grandfather Ruo Zhenyu's life, thoughts, scholarship, and works. With his profound knowledge and personal experiences, Professor Jizhu has appended insightful annotations, which will undoubtedly serve as great guidance and enlightenment for scholars and future generations.
