Free People: Memories of the Literary World of the Republic of China
by Liang Shiqiu Lin Yutang Et Al.
About This Novel
This book is a recollection of the life fragments of four highly controversial literati in modern Chinese history - Xu Zhimo, Yu Dafu, Wen Yiduo and Lin Yutang - represented by Liang Shiqiu and Lin Yutang. In the review from many angles, the life trajectories, ideological changes, interpersonal interactions and other details of the four literati are revealed to the readers one by one. The authors are all people who have had direct contact with and lived with these four people, so the reading is authentic and credible, and the readers feel as if they have entered the historical scene. Many historical materials in this book are rarely seen in mainland China, such as the emotional entanglements between Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, Wang Geng, Weng Ruiwu and others, the truth about Yu Dafu's murder by Japanese military police, Wen Yiduo's legendary experience of studying in the United States in his early years, how Lin Yutang managed to navigate between Chinese and Western cultures, and so on.

The book is good, but it's too expensive!
