Features: From Falling to Flying is divided into two volumes: "Love in Life" and "This Rebellious Era." "This Rebellious Era" is Liu Yong's inspiring speech for young people, which he consistently presented at high schools during his touring lectures. It can be said that Liu Yong believed this volume should be heard before any of his other speeches, as it embodies his core ideas of "transcending oneself," "creating oneself," and "affirming oneself," as well as his philosophy on life. In the speech, Liu Yong discusses Nietzsche's quotes and Wang Guowei's "Words on Human Life," proving that life should pass through three stages: "the Camel, the Lion, and the Baby." He then talks about how to overcome innate weaknesses and transcend the boundaries of time and space. In the end, he uses many vivid examples to discuss how life is a continuous series of transcensions, and in this process, one must create personal style and affirm that they are an indispensable presence in the universe. This volume, "This Rebellious Era," is a recording of Liu Yong's charity lecture in Kuala Lumpur in 1995 for the Malaysian Chinese School Boards Joint Council, which later led to a charity sale in Malaysia, creating a sensation. "This Rebellious Era" addresses this era: you can be rebellious, but from a young age, you must broaden your perspective and transcend space and time. You must also have a sense of indignation and believe that "I can do it."
From Falling to Flying
In life, everyone who falls must calmly think: "When I lie down, it’s the perfect moment to rest and see clearly why I fell." Then you stand up, and the moment you stand up is the moment you begin to soar!
The Transformation and Soaring of Love
Love is contradictory: it moves toward togetherness and separation; it seeks novelty and nostalgia, and love doesn’t care about right or wrong. Love requires giving and receiving, and it can be expressed but not fully captured.
Love in Life: Selfish Love
In childhood, selfish love wants to eat, drink, take, play, and grow.
Rebellious Love
In adolescence, rebellious love develops its own ideas, its wings harden, and it’s ready to fly!
Romantic Love
In youth, romantic love dares to love and hate, using its full passion and energy to pursue a partner.
Warm Love
After marriage, women become stronger, and men become more gentle, all for the sake of children and family.
Confused Love
As children grow, burdens lighten, and people start to think for themselves, leading to "midlife crisis."
Deep Love
Some selfish love is for self-preservation and self-love, reducing worries for children; some is ordinary, yet it gives its all, vivid and full of emotion.
