Features: If a person changes their bad habits, the one who ultimately benefits the most is actually themselves. Because a person's own image is actually created by themselves. Good habits, a sense of social responsibility, and morality can shape a person, making their life fulfilling and joyful; conversely, bad habits, a lack of morality and responsibility can damage a person, causing them to waste away in confusion and emptiness. The ability of an ordinary person may be limited, but the power of a central figure in a group can be great. For example, parents' behavior can influence children, teachers' behavior can influence students, a supervisor's behavior can influence their subordinates, and a celebrity's behavior can influence those who admire them. Therefore, a person's power can sometimes be immense, even immeasurable. The phenomena described in this book indeed occur in Shanghai. Of course, since Shanghai is a city with a dense floating population, the people who cause these ugly phenomena may not all be genuine Shanghai natives. In other words, the ugly phenomena that occur in Shanghai actually represent some common phenomena existing in China as a whole. Therefore, not only should Shanghai residents look in the mirror, but all Chinese people, and even overseas Chinese, should do so as well. However, for a foreigner or someone from another region, they cannot accurately distinguish who is a Shanghai native and who is not. Thus, for them, any phenomenon they see in Shanghai will be attributed to Shanghai natives. The phenomena described in this book are all trivialities from daily life, where good and evil, beauty and ugliness are obvious. With a little attention, they are easily correctable. For this reason, the readers of this book are the general public.
