Features: "A Naked Heart – Life Sketches": Ge Hongbing's personal life memories and reflections, vividly and straightforwardly narrating a series of arduous emotional journeys. He strips away the long-standing cloak of pseudo-morality and pseudo-philosophy of Chinese intellectuals, confronting a corrupt world and corrupt opponents with the vulnerability of a newborn infant. The author candidly reveals everything about himself—such raw honesty shocks the readers. Since 1998, when he serialized his essays "Seeing Things with Different Eyes" in the magazine "Everyone," his essay art has become increasingly refined. The contemporary Chinese essay and prose circles have begun to recognize him, with his works continuously selected for China's Best Essays and Prose Anthologies from 1999 to 2001. "Ge Hongbing is the Rousseau-like observer of our time."
