It aims to enrich the humanistic sentiments of contemporary Chinese people, revitalize the of humanistic culture, and inspire college students to "become spiritually mature." The pursuit of "humanities renewing daily" is the goal of this book and also the aspiration of the Chinese people at present. The burden is heavy, and we hope that the wise will lend their support. It reflects a strong sense of cultural mission. The humanistic spirit points to an ideal system centered on truth, goodness, and beauty, which is the core essence of "what it means to be human." Humanistic education is the "usefulness of the useless," as its purpose lies in promoting the complete independence and self-perfection of humans as life and spiritual subjects. It delves deeply and broadly into the discussions of "how to be a person" and "what kind of person to be."
