Features: The thoughts are closely related to publishing practice. It is not important whether they are perfect. The important and reliable standards for evaluation are whether they come from practice, whether they are effective in practice, and whether they are accepted by peers in a certain area. To say this is not to deny the value of theory; on the contrary, the publishing industry still needs theoretical guidance. The sublimation of theory has once allowed us to gain a bird's-eye view, and metaphysical induction and deduction often make us see clearly. The theory in this book requires distinct and relatively stable viewpoints, while thinking can be dynamic, in the present tense, a product of the environment, an inspiration from practice, the essence of a matter, and the spirit of a time. To frankly call it "my" thinking is to explain that many of them are personal notions, limited perspectives, temporary achievements or regrets, and cannot be considered a unified viewpoint, nor necessarily possess universality, regularity, or falsifiability. The publishing industry is filled with experts, with mentors before and new talents behind. My writings neither stand up to the scrutiny of systematic theories nor withstand verification by external facts. I only want to express that my thoughts are sincere. The viewpoints are sincerely recognized, the examples are actual events, the achievements and regrets are truly existing, the reflections come from the heart, and the thinking stems from reality.
