Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
This book is a brand new collection of Liang Shiqiu's classic essays in the "Yashe" series.
Liang Shiqiu jumped out of the era and ideology and devoted himself to describing the social outlook, cultural customs and human relationships of the time. Whether he was making fun of the daily necessities, describing the romantic life, or discussing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, each of his works was elegant and concise, humorous and open-minded, full of humor and wisdom. Bing Xin once commented on Liang Shiqiu: "A person should be like a flower. Flowers have color, fragrance and taste, and people have talent and interest. My friend, among men, only Liang Shiqiu is the most like a flower." These all-encompassing, witty and humorous words tell people that we live in the world, but we want to live a more interesting life.
