Collection of Su Manshu's Letters
by Su Manshu
About This Novel
"Collection of Su Manshu's Letters" contains 64 letters written by Su Manshu to Liu San, Liu Yazi, Gao Tianmei and other friends between 1900 and 1913, truly recording the life trajectory and spiritual world of this modern wonder man in a turbulent era. These yellowed letterheads have traveled through hundreds of years of wind and rain, showing a contradictory and true soul: both the Buddhist practice of "helping people with the Dharma" and the impassioned devotion to the revolution; both the pride of "a strong man looking at the grass with his sword across the sword" and the hardship of "sick and torn bones"; both the devoted translation and introduction of Byron and Shelley, and the deep reflection on traditional culture. As well as Su Manshu's unique insights into Buddhism, literature, and translation theory. These letters and writings are not only witnesses of a person's fate, but also reflect the spiritual fission of intellectuals in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China in the collision between traditional culture and modern trends of thought. As a unique "poetic monk revolutionary" in the history of modern literature, Su Manshu walked between the world of mortals and the Buddhist sect with a pure heart. The loneliness, anger and affection flowing in his letters were like winter plum blossoms clinging to the snow, and became a mark of tragic aesthetics in the spiritual map of Chinese intellectuals in the 20th century.
