A boy from a farm family, he studied at Tsinghua University; he studied in Germany for ten years and became an expert in Sanskrit; he was a returned scholar and taught at Peking University; he was neither happy nor afraid, and he was awarded three laurels - he was Ji Xianlin, the leading figure among the common people in the area.
Mr. Ji Xianlin's life path was rough and arduous but also colorful. In Mr. Ji's own words: "On this very long road, I walked through Yangguan Avenue and also walked across small single-plank bridges. There were deep mountains and swamps, and pleasant flat slopes; there were spring rains with apricot blossoms, and autumn winds in the north of the Great Wall; there were mountains and rivers, and there were flowers in the dark; there were people who had lost their way and found their way back, and there were times when they were saved. The road was too long, the time was too long, there were too many shadows, and the memories were too heavy..."
Now let us trace Mr. Ji Xianlin's ordinary but great life footprints!
Reader comments
This book tells the story of Mr. Ji Xianlin's troubled life, which moved me deeply. The author's writing style is plain and simple, which makes me feel like I can see the difficult environment of Mr. Ji's childhood. And I like some characters in the book very much, such as Ji Xianlin and his two friends, especially the little one named Mute. Although he later became a "gentleman in Liang Shang", his childhood experience is still very touching. All in all, this is a good book worth reading.
