Professor Tang Yijie (1927 ̶ 2014) was one of the most prominent philosophers of the PRC after the “Cultural Revolution” (1966 ̶ 1976). He was the leading representative of New Confucianism, the main trend in Chinese philosophy of the 20th and (beginning of the) 21st centuries. This essay points out mainly the author’s personal reminiscences concerning him and his wife Yue Daiyun (1931 ̶ ) and their strain to overcome the huge impact of the ultra-leftist views of the period 1949 ̶ 1978, which made all scholarly development in the humanities impossible. It is mostly about our meetings, correspondence, discussions and the facts often unknown to other scholars, but also within the possibilities of a short review presenting his life and work.
