Features: Crying for Happiness collects over 110 short essays of a thousand words or more written by Mo Luo in recent years and published in various newspapers and magazines. They are roughly divided into six sections based on content. Section "Love is Sunshine" and the second section "Faith and Peace" directly propose new propositions about love and faith. The reason they are called new propositions is because they are put forward from a new perspective and standpoint. Those ordinary stories and characters, those unique thoughts and insights, all receive a new experience and revival in his meticulous and vivid writing. A writer who experiences life so delicately, sensitively, and full of passion—whose words stir the soul and ignite the spirit—can you say that what you feel is not poetry, not music, not the creation of art? Those words that touch our souls allow our hearts to weep in the embrace of love, filled with happiness. Like Lu Xun, Mo Luo has been deeply hurt by his era and society, but he ultimately moves forward with a great sense of compassion, bearing the shame. Mo Luo's thoughts are a holy light in this numb society. The suffering Mo Luo has endured is an extremely noble suffering. Through his noble suffering, he demonstrates the sanctity and majesty of his thoughts. ——Chen Bisheng
Mo Luo does not explicitly speak of social systems, but his spirit of freedom, which is not limited to the liberal camp, a beautiful fusion of humanism and religious values within his inner world, is something I can understand and identify with. It can even be said that it must be recognized and valued by the intellectual community. ——Fan Baihua
We rarely have works that advocate for human love, which is related to our critique of "universal love" and "resisting evil without violence." However, in Hugo, in Tolstoy, in many classic works that promote "love," no matter how we appeal to critique, their moving charm has not faded. Art is how love comforts the sinful hearts of humanity. Now, Mo Luo has embraced this unconventional communicative tradition, but at the same time, he has also bid farewell to the once mainstream tradition of destruction. ——Meng Fanghua
