About This Novel
The book is divided into five series: the first series is about remembering ancestors and parents and recalling the little joy of family life in youth. Chapters such as "Reading Three Official Documents of Grandfather Yu", "My Father Tang Yongtong", "Three Letters from My Father to Me" and "Remembering My Mother" are all written in a simple style and with affectionate pen and ink. The second volume recalls the initial questioning of the question "where do people come from" in childhood, and touches on the issue of death prematurely due to the early death of the eldest sister, praying that the lost relatives can regenerate like flowers and plants. Ji San recalled his life-long academic experience, from reading Mr. Qian Mu's "Outline of National History" in middle school, listening to his father reciting "Ode to the South of the Yangtze River" and feeling the sentiments of the scholar's family and country, to being admitted to the preparatory class of Peking University, from the beach to Yanyuan, and becoming associated with Peking University and philosophy throughout his life. The fourth volume explores the concepts of heaven and emperor in traditional Chinese thought, as well as the foundation on which Confucian sages have settled down for generations. The fifth volume commemorates senior scholars such as Fei Ming, Zhou Yiliang, Feng Youlan, etc. It is a picturesque experience.
