I got his postdoctoral only to careful reading of modern Chinese literature, is not easy to like are moved and applauded the students. I was originally going to write a modern literary history, found early vernacular poetry was so badly written, and I couldn't review, but novels more good-looking, seriously go to history of writing a novel. ”
Yale University Chinese modern novels of the year rarely, Colombia University because the development of early, this type of more books than Yale, Hsia Chih-Tsing each month to Colombia University.

High learned only insiders know him, but in the late 1940 's, above intends to fight against him, his novel no one watched. Then big round he was after my book release. Exeter is written too round people, kind of a mess. Exeter too kind to people, but I'm just as a close friend of. "The money book commended in a letter to Hsia Chih-Tsing Chung:" elegance of the writing, understand the power of, different points of ghost books, account books, enough to open up our hearts, bath snow spirit, no special name, also handed down. ”

Xia Lu Xun and Zhang Ai-ling 's, using similar standards, focus on nature is a work of literature, the intrinsic literary value. Qian Zhongshu, Shen Congwen, and Zhang Tian-Yi 's, and Wu zu-Xiang, these comments have been left out of the mainstream in the mainland novelist appraise by Xia Gong, win ' eight ' readers of the times differently to them. ”
