Features: Fables are mirrors of wisdom and references for the heart! Clever, adorable, witty, perceptive, yet cunning, they offer us insights through countless instances of wisdom and folly—“Being a person, knowledge is secondary!” Often, we find some characters and animal figures in fable stories foolish, but in reality, every moment of our daily lives, if we deviate slightly from the right path, we also do many of the same foolish things—we just may not realize it at the time. However, when we reflect on these matters after a few days or years, it’s inevitable that we’ll feel a sense of regret. By thoroughly reading this book, you will discover that a small story can inspire people far more than lifeless preaching. We have extracted the wisdom of how to be a person from fables and presented it in an easy-to-understand manner, addressing the various dilemmas one may encounter in life. In the impatient, fast-paced modern society, the conditions for creating fables no longer exist. Fortunately, our predecessors have left us countless legacies, expressing diverse life philosophies. We hope that by opening this book, your heart will be marked by the imprint of wisdom, making your life joyful and fulfilling. We have searched for fable stories from ancient and modern times, both within and beyond China, selecting several classic works. Combining the wisdom of how to be a person, we present profound truths in a fresh form and a simple, accessible language style.
