Features: While bad people may not be the mainstream of society, they are everywhere, making it impossible to guard against them at all times. A person who stands in society and competes with others at every turn may easily break under pressure, while rigidly guarding oneself can only isolate one from the world. The key is to develop a "bulletproof" self-defense skill based on the different characteristics of these nine types of people. This self-defense skill, in the complex social life, is not for harming others but for self-protection. In fact, by treating others with sincerity, building relationships based on trust, and helping others with kindness, one can live a dignified life. We must not only live safely but also pursue a life of freedom and happiness. As long as we stay true to ourselves, resist temptation, and are not swayed by power, we can keep a bright lamp in our hearts that illuminates both good and evil. I do not set up defenses, yet my defenses naturally exist.
