Xihu Baiyi (A Hundred Memories of the West Lake) - manuscript of Tsar Teh-yun

Xu Wenjing’s eyesight was continuously failing from the middle of his life and by 1957, he was totally blind. When Xu Wenjing’s vision began to decline, he was no longer able to paint. He channelled his passion, therefore, into poetry and literature. The Xihu Baiyi is a collection of 109 poems he wrote between 1952 and 1955. The poems describe his memories of the West Lake in Hangzhou. Tsar Teh-yun helped by transcribing the poems. This book is a marvellous tribute to a great friendship between two qin musicians.
