Zhang Jingsheng is a cultural legend who has been severely demonized in modern Chinese history. His contributions in philosophy, aesthetics, sexology, demography, sociology, folklore, logic, etc. Have gradually become known, but his achievements in prose have yet to be discovered by readers. This book is a collection of Zhang Jingsheng's three autobiographical prose collections published overseas in the 1950s, "Talks of a Floating Life", "Ten Years of Love" and "The Whirlpool of Love". The author narrates his personal love history, sexual history and life history in a poetic style, expressing his attitude towards life of "living happily, touching emotionally, and enjoying happily". This is the most complex life archive of a generation of scholars, as well as the most fascinating spiritual history of a strange man. Zhang Jingsheng's insights, traveling through the tunnel of time, still shine with a unique light.

This collection is divided into ten volumes, which brings together all Zhang Jingsheng's works and early critical and reminiscence articles that can be found so far. It is a rare material for studying Zhang Jingsheng's life and times. Most of the content in this collection was published for the first time after 1949, and some of the content has never been published.
