Features: As a Chinese, Li Ao was indeed unfortunate. Although he had been imprisoned twice, he did not receive the glory and brilliance that Voltaire had. Li Ao was also lucky. The works of Li Zhi were burned once in the Wanli era and again in the Tianqi era, and he himself died for his beliefs with his blood. However, Li Ao's works had also been banned, but today, he can freely compile his own collection of essays and proudly watch his books enter the homes of ordinary people one after another. The "Selected Works" may seem simple, but sometimes selecting texts is even harder than writing. Tang Xianyue believed that "selecting is twice as difficult as writing," a sentiment that others did not understand, but Li Ao did. Because Li Ao is one of the top three Chinese writers of modern Chinese prose in the past fifty years and even in the past five hundred years. Not only is he a master of modern Chinese prose, but his content is also comprehensive. He excels in various fields such as thought, history, autobiography, character studies, fiction, essays, sketches, reviews, notes, quotations, letters, speeches, and even poetry, and is considered a master in each category.
