Chu weaves an eclectic tapestry of culture through the personal history and musings of her mentor, Hu Lancheng, and his estranged ex-wife, the acclaimed Eileen Chang. Modern and ancient philosophy from both East and West, alongside myths, religions, modern science, and literature, all form a synthetic unity of humanity and the world. Originally published as the sixth essay in Chu T'ien-wen's memoir A Flower Remembers Its Past.
