Lin Yutang's readme summary

This is a set of books that are completely different from The Elephant Personality Focus Series.

In Focus Books, the described character is an objective object, which allows the author to stare and scan with his own position and vision, and then narrate with a relatively free attempt. In this case, the author's subjective color inevitably determines the narrative role and narrative language, so the characters he pays attention to may often be the object of "one" in his mind, rather than the whole truth of the characters. Coupled with the limited space of the series, the life of a described character and its rich and varied aspects are far from being presented in detail.

Over the years, the writing of autobiography and memoirs is no longer a personal patent, let alone a daunting and dangerous road. Everyone, no matter what occupation they are engaged in, no matter what fate they encounter, can pick up a pen and record everything they have experienced as long as they are willing, leaving their own witness for history. There is no doubt that when a large number of autobiographies and memoirs come out one after another, people's understanding of history will gradually be three-dimensional. Essays on Elephant Characters will join such a historical review in its own way.

The characters selected in "The Elephant Characters' Self-report Collection" will start from the cultural circle, and then gradually expand to other fields. With the efforts of "Elephant Characters Focus on Books" for many years, the life trajectory and spiritual world of people from all walks of life will be displayed as concentrated as possible.
