One of Hesse's most cherished books, youth mentor and Nobel laureate, is based on his own experience. Hesse: "I have a special fondness for this book. It is more precious than all the other works combined." Narcissus and Goldmund. One rational and one emotional, they are like the sun and the moon, like the land and the sea. Once they meet, they are destined to attract each other, promote each other or destroy each other. But Narcissus told Goldmund that their mission was not to come together, but to get to know each other and learn to respect each other's nature. Because the nature that is different from others is what he cherishes, and a person can only do the noble and meaningful things he can do only by striving to realize himself to the best of his talents. Hesse is able to focus on the proposition of human beings' reasonable way of existence in a more detached manner than in "Steppenwolf". He is trying to find a more perfect way out for human nature. --Wu Xiaodong (Professor of Chinese Department of Peking University)

Some young people were dragged away by the war in their childhood and now "return", but must face a completely unfamiliar reality. For "old people" like Hesse, those worldviews that were once highly recognized have become ridiculous and ridiculous things of the past. Everything becomes suspicious and disturbing. In such a summer, a farewell summer, a day full of power and light, temptation and charm, filled with southern sunshine and the aroma of wine, the painter Klingsor transformed into Li Taibai, roamed, drank and debated with his friends Du Fu, Louis and the Armenian astrologer.
