Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
I want to be someone who can describe your life at your funeral. There won’t be grand vows of love or tender love words, but just a solemn yet warm and moving description like this, which will be enough to touch people’s hearts.
"I Want to Be Someone Who Can Describe Your Life at Your Funeral" (revised edition) includes 32 classic essays praising the beautiful emotions of mankind by more than 20 modern and contemporary writers such as Ji Xianlin, Shi Tiesheng, Shen Congwen, Ba Jin, Liang Shiqiu, and Feng Jicai. In the writers' works, one can also see memories of the past about Lu Xun, Bing Xin, Xu Zhimo, Ye Shengtao, Cao Yu, Cai Yuanpei, Li Shutong and others.
In this collection of essays about emotions, the writers miss their relatives, lovers, respected teachers, and cherished friends with deep affection. These sincere and heartfelt words are profound but not obscure, and extremely sad but not hurtful. Under the master's pen full of emotion, each one is moving. Perhaps, whether it is love or family affection, after years of vicissitudes, after watching the ups and downs together, it will be integrated into the soul, and only then will there be such feelings!
