Who else can I ask for advice?

Elder Jiang, you are suddenly gone! consternation? sad? Flawless? More regrets! I have one more important question that I haven't asked you yet!
A few days ago, I was still in the WeChat circle of friends, seeing the figure of Elder Jiang, the spirit is still very strong, how to say to go away? I do have a very important problem that I need you to help me with. However, during the Spring Festival, because of the consideration of the epidemic situation, it was felt that it should not be a big deal to slow down for the time being, so it was temporarily put on hold.
In the past, when there was a problem, I always ran to Jiang Laoyou, when I transferred to Yu Dafu Middle School, you just retired, but you were retiring, the earliest was at the foot of the Stork Mountain Education Bureau at the entrance of a Nanfang Xizi Information Company, you work there, when I went to visit you, I can always see you writing non-stop, at that time I think you always like to use ballpoint pens, and the posture of holding the pen is also very unique, we generally hold the pen, the tip of the pen is outward, and the pen shaft is facing yourself, and your pen shaft is facing the outside, the tip of the pen is facing yourself Your words also look very hard, and you use ligatures, so you often tell me that you are a semi-illiterate and can write today, and you feel very remarkable, although your words are half-written.
In fact, this is your modesty, your half-written is not white, just in line with the reading needs of the people, the rural slang unconsciously, conveying your nostalgia.
At that time, because I worked at Yu Dafu Middle School, it was only ten minutes away from your office, so I often sat down with you, and unconsciously asked some questions, such as the changes in the former residence, the twists and turns of the Stork Mountain Double Lie pavilion, the story of the Yu brothers, and even asked about the past of Mrs. Sun Tsuen, and even yu Tianmin's family affairs. This kind of day is really a kind of enjoyment, enjoying the culture in the story, the countryside in the culture.
Later, Elder Jiang changed several office locations, and you didn't seem to have too many requirements for the office, as long as you were given a quiet writing environment. It is reasonable to say that after retirement and a granddaughter and nephew, Elder Jiang you can enjoy your old age and enjoy the joys of heaven, but Elder Jiang you are really idle.
In the summer of 2002, Elder Jiang was close to the age of 70, Fuyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Orthopaedic Hospital found you, asked you to establish a biography for Dr. Zhang Shaofu, Elder Jiang, you gladly agreed, and also proposed to let me be your assistant, I was simply flattered. Just that summer, I followed Elder Jiang all over Shangtu Mountain and Dongziguan, visited many people related to Zhang Shaofu, and collected many wonderful stories. I can be a teacher, standing on the podium can talk endlessly, and as an interviewer, really lack of experience, I followed Elder Jiang you learned to interview, you can always ask you about the problem, not only mastered the first-hand information of Dr. Zhang Shaofu, but also have more understanding and admiration for Elder Jiang. Under the leadership of Elder Jiang, without pretense and exaggeration, a biography with realism as the main style, "Zhang Shaofu - The Orthodontic Career of a Generation of Famous Doctors", was presented in front of the people of Fuyang.
In 2004, you began to revise the "Women of the Yu Dafu Family" again, at that time, Elder Jiang, your health was not very good, but you revised day and night, accumulated fatigue and became ill, and you were hospitalized for more than ten days, and continued to rush to work after being discharged. At that time, many of your manuscripts were printed with the help of my wife, and Elder Jiang said that in Fuyang, there were few people who could recognize your handwriting, and my wife was one of them. I also helped to assist the responsible editor to do a good job as an editor, and also took this opportunity to ask Elder Jiang about many touching stories of the women of the Yu family, especially the relationship between the Yu Feng couple and Fuyang. The revision of this book has enriched Yu's research with many new and detailed original materials.
Elder Jiang, you can say that the old Ji Fuzhi is in a thousand miles, since 2005, and then began to write "Cultural People and FuchunJiang", I am your first reader, my wife is also a typist and proofreader, we read the footprints of many contemporary cultural celebrities in Fuyang for the first time, such as Wang Meng, Huang Yuan, Lou Shiyi, Xu Chi, Huang Miaozi, Ye Qianyu, Feng Yidai, He Manzi, Li Xifan, Xu Yulan, Wei Zongwan, Shen Zuan, Xue Jiazhu, Ye Wenling, Li Hangyu, Xiang Bingru, Jia Baoquan, etc. It shows that Elder Jiang used to receive these cultural people in the role of cultural people, not as an official, otherwise it would be difficult to leave these good memories.
As early as 1998, we had put forward the initiative to change the name, Elder Jiang you also wrote an article in Fuyang Daily to put forward the idea of changing the name; I also consulted Elder Jiang on whether the Stork Mountain Scenic Area can become a Yu's Cultural Park, Elder Jiang also had this idea, and has been committed to the creation of Yu's culture, from the Songjun Villa on the east side of the Stork Mountain, the Double Lieyuan Garden, to the Miaozi Yufeng Art Museum in the western foothills of stork mountain, all of which are poured into the painstaking efforts of Elder Jiang. It has also made too many contributions to the creation of Fuyang's contemporary cultural heritage.
Although, in recent years, Elder Jiang you have been old, I try not to bother you as much as possible, but still from time to time I will ask you about some difficult problems, in my opinion, Elder Jiang you are the integrated encyclopedia of Fuyang culture. This year's Spring Festival, when a friend went to the Stork Mountain to play, he saw that Yu Mantuo's bloody tomb was written by Guo Moruo and Ma Sulun, and he thought of a question: Why is it written by Ma Sulun? Is it a friend of Yu Mando, or a friend of Yu Dafu? Or was it officially invited? This question bothered me, and I naturally thought of You, Elder Jiang. In order not to disturb Elder Jiang, I desperately wanted to find clues from elder Jiang's article, although in your article "The Soul of the Stork Mountain" and "From an Old Photograph", there is a record of the 1947 construction of the Yumantuo Yudaf Memorial Facility on Stork Mountain, but unfortunately, there is no reason for inviting Ma Sulun to write in these texts. I also asked the archives staff, who kept the original pieces of Ma Sulun's writings and made the corresponding short videos, but they could not respond to the answers I needed. At that moment, in my subconscious, it naturally occurred to me that only Elder Jiang could tell me the correct answer.
The pandemic was so severe that I couldn't visit as soon as possible, and I wanted to get in touch by phone, but I knew it was disrespectful and I had to visit. I've been expecting the pandemic to pass as soon as possible, and I can come to you for advice.
But, Elder Jiang, you left in a hurry. You said you still have to watch the Asian Games, and you have to watch the next Olympic Games! However, Elder Jiang, you still left the Fuyang you have always loved, the literature and history of the township you love, and the encyclopedic integration of Fuyang culture that you have been pursuing.
Who else can I ask for advice? I believe it is still possible, Elder Jiang! I will ask you about my problem in the context of the encyclopedic Fuyang culture integration you left behind!
