Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a collection of Mr. Yu Guangzhong's pure essays, including 18 essays written between 1978 and 1985. It includes essays, notes, travelogues on landscapes and characters, rich in variety, beautiful style, delicate emotion and humor. The author combines his own talents, feelings and interests into his prose, so that lyricism, diction and narration are blended into one, presenting his unique writing style of integrating poet, writer and translator into one. Yu Guangzhong said, "Prose is not my poetry. Prose and poetry are my two eyes, and without either one, the world is not three-dimensional." This book opens another literary window for readers beyond his poetry.
