The first half of the author introduces three books written by Mr. Wen Yiduo: Miscellaneous Poems of Tang Poetry, Revision of Songs of Chu, and New Interpretation of Classics. It describes that Mr. Wen Yiduo devoted himself to academic work in the early stage, did not fear hardships, and forgot to eat and sleep for decades, focusing on expressing the spirit of Mr. Wen Yiduo's "do what you say, do what you don't say"
In the second half, what Mr Wen Yiduo said and did was consistent with his words and deeds. The author chose three things as examples to show Mr. Wen's "revolutionary side". The two parts complement each other, which makes Mr. Wen Yiduo's rigorous and diligent learning attitude, selfless and fearless spirit of struggle, surging patriotic enthusiasm and noble personality consistent with words and deeds emerge.
