According to Buddhist teachings, one should not be excessively attached to any cause, for only a mind free of attachments can attain true liberation. However, that is a worldly saying—today, people focus on worldly matters and gradually lose their sense of dedication to anything. As a result, literature has become more of a pastime and a game. But Jiang Xiaozhai is not like that, so writing Decoding this outstanding novel worthy of reading is perhaps a testament to the rewards of hard work. By "excellent," one means the exceptional quality of the novel, and the other is its high readability. It is rare to achieve both, but Jiang Xiaozhai has succeeded. The triviality and flatness of daily life fill our hearts with desires and imagination. The author deeply understands the inner secrets of modern people, portraying their loneliness and dreams in a genuine yet fantastical way. The protagonists are mysterious figures engaged in "covert competition," "underground heroes," and the essence of human brilliance. Their wisdom can refine gold, and their rare and charming talent could have made them favorites in the world of fame and fortune. However, due to the of their profession, their stories are often hidden in corners beyond the reach of worldly sunlight, their fate forever shrouded in mystery. Through "decoding," the author reveals profound life experiences, making us feel an infinite sense of reverence and awe for fate, a force as enigmatic as it is unpredictable. This book is both enjoyable and deeply engaging. The author poured over a decade of heart and soul into it, truly making it a labor of love.
