About This Novel

Gu Sui, a modern and contemporary Chinese scholar and writer, gave lectures at Peking University and other universities. Ye Jiaying, a contemporary scholar and Gu Sui's student at the time, took detailed notes. This "Biography" compiles and edits all of Ye Jiaying's notes. It is the first complete note to be published after more than sixty years. It is a comprehensive reproduction of Gu Sui's classroom lectures on Chinese literature. It is a masterpiece of his popularization and research of teaching literature, cultivating talents, and enlightening life through classroom lectures. It is based on the development of Chinese classical literature, integrating exquisite knowledge and wise thoughts. It wanders inside and outside literature, exploring history, ancient and modern China and the West, literature, history, philosophy and Zen. It is broad and profound yet popular and full of vitality. The author regards "life" in literature as the fundamental essence. Although he quotes from many sources and is imaginative, he always revolves around this center, full of emotions, literary grace, and wit. The truth of knowledge and the beauty of narration come close to the soul in perfect harmony. This book is very suitable for the general public to read. It does not just focus on the ivory tower, nor does it only focus on studying classics. Instead, it is full of "sense of life", "human touch" and "life energy". The humanistic spirit flows in the Chinese cultural context and continues in daily life. Life and reading complement each other, self-cultivation and enlightenment complement each other, and happiness and scholarship are in harmony. Famous masters such as Chen Yuan, Shen Congwen, Zhou Ruchang, Qi Gong, Feng Zhi, Zhang Zhongxing, Wu Xiaoru, Ye Jiaying, Guo Yuheng, Shi Shuqing, Wu Shichang, etc. All highly recommended Gu Sui's lectures. The chapters in this book are complete and reasonable, the structure is clear and rigorous, and the system is well-established. It can be said to be a unique history of Chinese literature. Its original manuscript followed Ye Jiaying around the country and abroad, and has been kept with her for more than sixty years. After many years of compilation, revision, and annotation, it was fully presented to readers under the title of "Biography" more than sixty years later. This "Biography" is the only version that includes all of Ye Jiaying's notes. It was published for the first time by Peking University Press in the form of a final version. Without profound and flexible knowledge, there would be no wonderful literature. This is exactly what "Biography" brings to readers.
