Three years ago, I bought Wei Tiancong's "Looking Back at Our Times" from the Internet, read it with a new wave, and recommended it to everyone today.
The book "records the joys and sorrows, the frivolity and romance, the frivolity and romance of a first-class figure in Taiwan's literary circles." In the preface, the author says that "he always believed that intellectuals could not abandon the truth because of ideology."
The book writes about the predecessors he missed, such as Tai Jingnong, Gao Yang, Yu Gang, etc.; and his peers, such as Chen Yingzhen, Ji Xian, Nie Hualing, and so on. Tai Jingnong, a disciple of Mr. Lu Xun, is brilliant in literature, the history is vague, and the feeling of missing the mainland cannot be cut off... I remember learning from another book that the biggest regret of his life was that he could not see Master Qi Gong before his death. Gao Yang, a historical novelist, has written "Jing Ke", "Cixi", etc., and I have read Gong Zizhen's biography "Lilac Flower". Yu Gang, great-grandson of Zeng Guofan and cousin of Mr. Chen Yinke. Chen Yingzhen, who believed in communism, returned to the mainland, and the vicissitudes of the world... At the end of the book, talking about Nie Hualing's "Three Lives and Three Lives", taking Ding Ling as an example, there is literary contemplation.
