by Wang Li
About This Novel
This book is a collection of Mr. Wang Li's essays. It mainly includes essays written by the author in Kunming during the Anti-Japanese War, as well as some intellectual essays and essays in memory of friends written after the founding of New China. Mr. Wang Li's essays have diverse themes and are close to life. They are written with quotations from classics and carefully crafted language. They seem relaxed and casual, but in fact they contain wit. His intellectual prose is good at explaining the mysteries of the Chinese language in a eloquent way, which is approachable and easy to understand. In this way, the whole book integrates daily life, interest, artistic conception, personality and knowledge, from small to large, with simple language and profound meaning, all-inclusive, as the saying goes, eclectic, "dragon and insect are carved together". Mr. Zhang Shuangdi wrote notes along with the text, making the book clearer and easier to understand. This new edition uses the 1949 edition of the Shanghai Observation Society as the base, and collates it with the 1982 and 1993 editions of the China Social Sciences Press. The differences between each edition are noted. Based on the original, we follow the good ones and correct individual intellectual errors or typos that have been misrepresented for a long time, with a view to improving the accuracy in the future.
