宣永光

Xuan Yongguang is an author about whom very little biographical information is publicly available; no clear record of his native place, dates of birth and death, or educational background can be found, and his English name is unknown. Two of his works are currently held in the collection. The better known is Wild Talk and Crazy Words, alongside another edition titled Youjian Library: Wild Talk and Crazy Words. Judging from their subject matter and classification, his writings are generally placed among classic works and Eastern philosophy. His style tends toward informal essays and commentary, using the guise of "wild talk" and "crazy words" to convey observations and judgments on social life, human nature, and the ways of the world, in a blunt tone with a reflective, essayistic quality. Owing to limited sources, his life story cannot be described in detail, and readers' understanding of him still rests mainly on the texts of these works.
