Shen Congwen is a giant of modern Chinese literature and a "lyrical humanist". His student Wang Zengqi is also famous among contemporary writers for his unique works, and is known as "China's last scholar-official". Wang Zengqi has been paying attention to Shen Congwen and his works since he was a boy. In 1939, he chose to be admitted to the Southwest Associated University, which was closely related to Shen Congwen's teaching at the Associated University. Shen took care of Wang everywhere in his creation and life, and their teacher-student friendship lasted for nearly half a century. Wang Zengqi's prose always has a kind of gentleness, without being pretentious or artificial, simple and shallow, but with long and thought-provoking implications. Teacher Shen Congwen once commented on his student Wang Zengqi: "His articles should be said to be more serious and profound than those of several masters, with more thoughts and literary talent! He is a late bloomer, as the ancients have said long ago.
