Introduction · · · · · ·
This book is a collection of Liang Shiqiu's prose about remembering people and chronicling events, and is Liang Shiqiu's most important work in his later years.
The book contains memories of the most important and unforgettable experiences of the past years, and deep remembrance and longing for old friends and relatives. In an era of turbulent change, Liang Qichao, Hu Shi, Xu Zhimo, Shen Congwen, Bing Xin, Lao She... these people, after a lifetime of twists and turns, experienced the haste and ruthlessness of life, but still had deep feelings for life.
The last volume, "Memories of Huaiyuan", recalls the details of his life with his wife, Ms. Cheng Jishu, and depicts a picture of the separation of husband and wife, the separation of Yin and Yang, which is soul-stirring and deeply moving. These warm and plain feelings are shared by you and me, and will not change even after many years.
