This book records the living conditions of 1 1 national first-class professors from the early 1950s to the mid 1960s: Yu Pingbo, Yao Yao, Fu Ying, Zhou Peiyuan, He Lin, Ma Yinchu, Tang Yongtong, Feng Youlan and Ding Feng all worked in Peking University, while Mr. Xu Cai and Mr. Chen Yuan worked in Beijing Agricultural University and Beijing Normal University respectively.

This 1 1 professor belongs to the emperor. Yu Pingbo, Yao Yao, Fu Ying, Zhou Peiyuan, He Lin, Ma Yinchu, Tang Yongtong, Feng Youlan and Ding Feng are all "bigwigs" of Peking University, while Xu Cai and Chen Yuan work in Beijing Agricultural University and Beijing Normal University respectively. The account here is to restore the old "landscape" according to the records of official materials and a large number of original files at that time. Although half a century has passed, it is not a personal memory like "the past is like smoke" and "colorful", but has the significance of historical fossils. This 1 1 professor's fate reflects the fate of intellectuals in China, which embodies the tragedy of China's education and China's culture and is also a scene of China's historical tragedy.
