Features: Strongly recommended by Mr. Li Ka-shing, the best-selling book next to the Bible in history, praised as the cornerstone of American culture and the symbol of American spirit, and an exemplary guide to life for over 200 years. The person who printed a $100 bill reduced in value is: Benjamin Franklin. President George Washington of the United States said that in his entire life, only Benjamin Franklin was someone he admired. As a symbol of American wealth and wisdom, the American people printed Franklin's portrait on the front of the $100 bill. For over 200 years, the thoughts of this wise man have been followed and practiced by those who hope to possess virtue and live a prosperous life. This book is a masterpiece written by Benjamin Franklin under the name of Poor Richard, a pseudonym he adopted. In 1732, Franklin published his self-edited and self-printed diary for the first time under the name Richard Saunders, and continued to publish it for 25 years thereafter, commonly known as "Poor Richard's Almanack." This book is hailed in the United States as the book of wealth. At the time of its publication, immigrants almost had a copy each. It is humorous, wise, and uniquely formatted, embodying the essence of human wisdom throughout. The quotes and life proverbs in the book still have a very positive impact even today. 200 years ago, Franklin shaped the personality of Americans, and today, 200 years later, he will once again bring us a unique resonance. May readers share this with me the brilliance of wisdom that has endured for over 200 years and remains undimmed by the passage of time.
