Wang Dong Ji Jin

335K0

The fourth volume of "Collected Letters of Xia Zhiqing and Xia Jian" starts from July 1959 and ends in April 1962, with 152 letters. Continuing from Volume Three, this volume mainly focuses on Xia Jian's pursuit of a teaching position in the United States, his research on modern Chinese literature in the United States, and anecdotes about the two brothers' friendship and life during that era. The side profile vividly presents the overseas survival and spiritual picture of Chinese intellectuals under the background of the "Cold War" in the middle of the last century. If the research content mentioned in it can be read in conjunction with Xia Zhiqing's "History of Modern Chinese Novel" and Xia Jian's "Dark Gate", it will provide a lot of inspiration for the subsequent study of Chinese literature.
