中原北望，泪洒山河。起底宋代爱国诗人陆游的传奇人生、文学生涯。

This book, grounded in historical sources and written in a literary style of creative nonfiction, traces the life's ups and downs and the literary career of Lu You, the patriotic poet of the Song Dynasty. Lu You was a celebrated writer of the Southern Song, born into an official family in the final years of the Northern Song. He lived through the reigns of six emperors and bore witness to the tumultuous early years of the Southern Song. He was a poet, a ci lyricist, an essayist, a calligrapher, and a historian. His love story, passed down through the centuries, still moves countless hearts today. And beyond all this, he was above all a steadfast, indomitable patriot.

Drawing extensively on historical records and Lu You's own writings, this book delves into his family background, his marriage and love life, his scholarly pursuits, his career in officialdom, his military service, and his literary achievements - offering a comprehensive portrait of his accomplishments in poetry, ci lyrics, prose, and history, as well as his myriad interests and pleasures in life. At the same time, it places Lu You within the broader historical context of the transition from the Northern to the Southern Song, celebrating his enduring patriotism and his unwavering commitment to his country - a story that is both profoundly moving and deeply inspiring.
