Features: If we could count the stars, we would not shed tears in the wind. If we believed we could change the tragedies of history and life, we would not fear our destiny. But since disasters cannot be saved and life cannot be wasted, the spirited person has a noble perspective. When (when in dire straits), he looks far ahead, as if coming from another world to observe the changes of the world. — George Santayana
This is the ninth volume of the "Lectures at Peking University" series, featuring essays by experts, professors, renowned scholars, and social celebrities, all delivered as captivating speeches at Peking University.
