Fei Ming (1901-1967), whose real name is Feng Wenbing, a wizard of Chu. Mr. Yi Zhuxian, a literary historian, said in the preface of the Chronicle of Fei Ming: "In the history of modern literature in China, his creations are not many, but he has his own unique artistic personality, which is often rare, chewy and intriguing." As early as 1930s, Li Jianwu, a famous critic, said: "Among the existing writers of China literature and art, some are more red, greater, more vivid, more novel and more fashionable than him, but few belong to him ... He is really creating." Yang Yi, a contemporary scholar, believes that although Fei Ming is not "everyone", "it should be said that Fei Ming should not be abolished." Ge Fei, a literary critic, said: "Fei Ming is indispensable to the study of China's modern lyric novels." Wang Zengqi, an old writer, once asserted in 1996: "The value of Fei Ming will not be known for another twenty years, and his position in the history of modern literature in China will be truly affirmed." Fei Ming's exploration in stylistic construction and narrative style is one of the important resources in China's modern novel history. The exploratory, experimental, pioneering consciousness and personalized color of Fei Ming's literary creation undoubtedly have its special significance and value in the history of literature.

As a scholar, Fei Ming taught in Peking University before and at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. In 1950s, the departments were adjusted and transferred to Northeast Renmin University (later renamed Jilin University). His studies on Buddhism, Lu Xun and poetics are all distinctive. Fei Ming, a university professor, is also a poet with heavy temperament. For example, his relationship with Xiong Shili, a native of Hubei, shows that he is outstanding as a scholar. They are good friends and academic enemies. Zhou Zuoren told an interesting story in Huai Fei Ming: "You lived in Erdaoqiao with Yu Jun and Xiong Shili, and once told me that one day Fei Ming and Xiong Weng talked about Seng Zhao, quarreled loudly, and suddenly stopped. Then they had a scuffle in one place. They saw Fei Ming coming out noisily, but Fei Ming came again the next day to discuss other issues with Xiong Weng." Similar records also appear in the works of other scholars. Fei Ming didn't take Xiong Shili's Buddhist monograph seriously. During the Anti-Japanese War, he wrote Araille's Theory of Knowledge in Huangmei's hometown, which was not published until a few years ago. Speaking of Fei Ming's character, Tang, a professor at Peking University and a Fei Ming student, has such a memory: "Fei Ming's teacher taught us freshman Chinese. The first class talked about Lu Xun's Diary of a Madman. Mr. Fei Ming said at the beginning,' My understanding of Lu Xun's Diary of a Madman is much deeper than that of Lu Xun himself.' This surprised me so much that I had to listen to him carefully. "Fei Ming's maverick has many anecdotes, such as answering English questions with a brush, meditation is not as good as becoming a monk and so on. There are many quotations in the Chronicle.

After years of hard work and painstaking management, Mr. Chen Jianjun wrote a full-length chronicle of Fei Ming, with complete data collection, extensive quotations, meticulous textual research and superb skills. The appendix "Summary of Fei Ming's Research" and "Catalogue Index of Fei Ming's Research Materials" provide great convenience for Fei Ming researchers and enthusiasts.
