Features: This volume collects various letters written by Mr. Fu Lei. Part 1 includes 216 letters written to friends or organizations. Most of them are recorded from surviving original manuscripts or copies. Among them, 98 letters to Huang Binhong and Song Ruoying are selected from The Collection of Fu Lei's Letters. The 14 letters to Professor Jevicki, the Polish piano teacher of Fu Cong, were discovered at the end of 1996 and are now translated from French to Chinese by Professor Jin Shenghua. The letters are arranged in chronological order based on the first time the recipients received them, but slight adjustments are made to maintain the continuity of related content. It is a great pity that after the Cultural Revolution, the letters written by Mr. Fu Lei to old friends such as Qian Zhongshu and Yang Xiang were completely lost. Part 2 is a selection of family letters written by Fu Lei and his wife to their sons Fu Cong and Fu Min. The letters were written from 1954 to 1966 and were printed based on the third edition of Sanlian Bookstore in 1990. The preface and postscript originally included in the book are retained.
