About This Novel
This book contains more than 70 fine essays by Zhou Zuoren, such as "Bitter Rain", "Wooden Boat", "Drinking Tea" and "Miscellaneous Letters from the Mountains". It is divided into four albums according to their content and writing style. He wrote about wild vegetables in his hometown, about tea drinking, the sound of birds, awning boats, the spring in Peiping, and about the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. He wrote down all the things that require a leisurely mind to notice one by one. He was calm, indifferent, and eloquent without being impetuous and harsh, which makes people feel relaxed when reading. Zhou Zuoren's main creative achievement throughout his life was the creation of prose sketches. His elegant and free writing style, peaceful and tranquil lyrical features, solemn and humorous humor, and comfortable language expression made his works unique in style and became a genre in the history of the development of modern Chinese prose.

A very charming book. Most of Zhou Zuoren's articles are good, but this book is a bit expensive.
I have always felt that a person's so-called maturity comes at the cost of losing sincerity and true nature. In a sense, maturity is just a reference to mask and sophistication. If a person is a bit childish, it means that he has not been polluted by worldly things and still retains the original innocence and honesty in his heart.
After all, they are anthologies, and they are all excellent. Are these articles only suitable for readers in peaceful times and older readers? Otherwise, if we talk about ambition, there will be no writing at all.
