My Spiritual History (Liu Zaifu's Autobiography Part II)

This book is the second autobiography of the famous Chinese writer Liu Zaifu. The author is not only a writer, but also a literary critic and humanist. He is also a "trendsetter" of the times. He has experienced the political turmoil of the "Cultural Revolution" and "June Fourth", and has been in exile overseas for many years, but he still cares about his motherland. He loves literature and writing. After experiencing ups and downs, he turned writing into a means of expressing depression and self-rescue. Writing is no longer for fame and publication, but to write out the truest voice in his heart. This book follows his life and recalls the stages of his spiritual growth, development and turning points in twelve major events, including the first time he discovered that he knew how to read, his first reading of Pushkin's fairy tale poems and The Little Match Girl, his exposure to classic works by Western authors such as Shakespeare, his relationship with Gao Xingjian, and his winning of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
