The original collector of this work was Cui Jinghai (1922–1993), a student of Qi Gong in the Department of Chinese Literature at Fu Jen Catholic University in Beiping. He once served as secretary to He Siyuan, the Vice Mayor of Beiping, and had a relationship with both Mr. He and Qi Gong that was both that of teacher and friend. After 1949, they continued to correspond and visit one another, and their relationship became even closer during the Cultural Revolution, making them true friends in adversity.
