My Limited Life
by Zhou Zuoren
About This Novel
Zhou Zuoren said that his ideal was just an ordinary and real life, and he disliked anything that was fanatical or vain, whether good or evil. Zhou Zuoren longed for leisure in his heart-heating a bowl over a charcoal fire, drinking tea, and chatting with friends-but these were just fantasies after all. He said to himself: His mind was unfocused, like expired shochu, with no flavor at all. Zhou Zuoren calls himself the Kucha Old Man, the owner of "Kucha Temple", but he has a bitter view of his life full of hesitation and helplessness. He regards everything as floating clouds and lives happily, just hoping that his state of mind will no longer be rough and desolate. "My Limited Life" selects dozens of articles by Zhou Zuoren, including memories of the days of freedom and relaxation, observations on the suffering of life, and analysis of one's own thoughts and destiny. Zhou Zuoren wears the clothes of moderation and plain clothes, and has his own way of entertainment in the bitter life.
