Features: With a vibrant life, facing living words; with an ordinary mortal body, perceiving the immortal thoughts and souls of geniuses and great figures. Through our words and deeds, we let our demeanor be read; through our writing, we let our souls be read. Conversely, we also read others' demeanor and souls. This book presents to everyone some experiences and reflections on reading and learning from ancient sages, timely sages, and literary figures at home and abroad. Through these exquisite essays, we can touch the living souls of scholars; their sincerity towards books, their lamentations over reading, their obsession with learning, and their persistent connection between reading and learning and the human body and life.
