Features: In a sense, humans are born as "readers" reading people, events, texts, history, society, and life. Every day, we are constantly "reading." It is precisely for this reason that we call humans "higher animals" or "the most noble of all creatures." Humans are animals with thoughts. Intellectuals are particularly so. Essayists and critics are especially so. "Learning without thought is lost; thought without learning is perilous." "I think, therefore I am." This direction and orientation of maxims from both China and the world are "the views of heroes are roughly the same." "Literary works are eternal, but success or failure is known only to the author's heart." It should be said that writing essays, sketches, and reviews is a hard task. What I can report to readers is that I dare not relax in the slightest about this. To speak the truth, to speak the truth, to speak from the heart, "When climbing a mountain, one's emotions fill the mountain; when viewing the sea, one's thoughts overflow with the sea," this must never be forgotten. This is both a creed and a direction. This book is a collection of contemporary Chinese essays, including works such as "Taking the Exam," "We Must Grasp the Sixties and Seventies," "The People Are the Foundation," and using "the frontline" as a keyword.
