About This Novel
Mr. Liu Mingjiu's collection of essays includes nostalgia for people, reminiscing about the past, and correspondence with friends. "This Teacher Is a Saint" and "Blues Bian Zhilin" commemorate two senior scholars of the Institute of Foreign Languages, Feng Zhi and Bian Zhilin, and are brilliant chapters in this collection that show their skill. At the beginning of the reform, the academic climate suddenly turned cold. Mr. Liu's "Study on Sartre", which was the first to break through ideological restrictions, not only attracted envious eyes, but was also labeled as a specimen of "spiritual pollution" by conservatives and was banned and destroyed. Bian Zhilin inherited Xu Zhimo's poetic style and became famous in the early years with a poem "Fragment of Chapter". Although he had a history of traveling to the red base areas, he retreated midway. As a result, he was sandwiched between Li Jianwu, Yang Jikang, Luo Dagang and other scholars at the Academy of Social Sciences. The role between the scholar and the veteran cadre is quite awkward; but "the blood of nobles is blue", the celebrity and elegant scholar described by Mr. Liu is indeed outstanding, showing a detached, free and easy personality in his academic career that has been changing for decades.
