Reader comments
This book gave me a deeper understanding of the masters of that special era. They contributed to the country and nation in their own way during the difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War, which is admirable. Thinking of my grandfather, he was also a man of that era. He had experienced the suffering of the war and could better understand the scenes described in the book. The stories of these masters made me feel the responsibility and responsibility of intellectuals.
