The reason why this book is called "Continuation of Night Stories" is because it is a sequel to "Ten Notes of Night Stories" published by People's Literature Publishing House in 1982. It still follows the original example and Sichuan people tell Sichuan stories in Sichuan dialect. In their spare time, a dozen or so Sichuan officials gathered together in a small house, drank tea, chatted, and set up a dragon gate array to while away the eternal night. They still use the unique dialect of Sichuan people, humorous conversation style, gossip about Sichuan slang and folk customs, and all kinds of strange anecdotes.

This book contains more than 100 essays by the author such as "Theory on 'Corrupt Officials' Promotion'", "The Misinterpretation of 'Tiger' in the Year of the Tiger", "Theory on 'It's Hard to Be a Villain'", "Specifications of Meetings", and "The '59-Year-Old' Phenomenon".

The book "Underground" is a preliminary summary of my experiences and lessons learned during the underground struggle of the Communist Party in the white areas. But it can also be said that the book "Underground" is condensed with the blood of many revolutionary ancestors and countless revolutionary martyrs who survived a narrow escape. In order to maintain the original appearance as much as possible, I have not made any major changes to some of the references in the book in this reprint. From this book, we can see how the underground workers of the Chinese Communist Party struggled and lived under the particularly harsh white terror rule before the founding of New China. Although we have achieved brilliant results, we have also suffered from the tragic situation of thousands of underground workers being arrested and brutally killed. It was like raining blood. We have both rich experience in struggle and painful lessons from failure.
