作者自青年时代怀着满腔热情，投身于革命阵营之中，一生为吏。离休后用闲暇时间将几十年来耳闻目睹的事情写成文字，成就此书。全书既无惊险故事又无华丽辞藻，仅把现实生活中形形色色的奇事记述出来，敬献给人们。The author has been dedicated to the revolution with enthusiasm since youth, and kept the position as a government official for whole life. After retirement, the author used spare time to write down the things under observation in these tens of years and completed the book. The book is composed of none thrilling stories or beautiful rhetoric, only presents the record of all kinds of strange affairs in real life to the people.
