Features: Happiness: The eternal pursuit of humanity, Harmony: The ideal state of the living environment, Wisdom: The best way to achieve happiness, Elegance: The necessary choice for contemporary humans. Walk the path of happiness, be a wise person, create a harmonious environment, live an elegant life. This book is an integration of three of Fen's works: "The Path to Happiness: Revelations of Ethics," "Theoretical Ethics," and "Towards Elegant Survival: A Study of China's Value Choices in the 21st Century." According to the needs of integration, some minor, modifications, rewrites, and adjustments were made to the original content. The five parts of the book can be seen as theoretical elaborations, while the last part can be seen as an application and extension of the theory. The ideas and viewpoints proposed in these three books seem to have a certain foresight. These ideas and viewpoints may provide some reference value for people living in the modern era to reflect on their lives and face their living circumstances correctly. Especially "Sincerely Towards Elegant Survival" reflects and criticizes modern civilization, predicts and envisions the future direction of humanity, and provides solutions for China's value choices in the 21st century. These may inspire people to grasp the ongoing transformation of human living methods. Therefore, I think publishing the integration of the ideas and content of these books does have some significance. The ideas and viewpoints expounded in this book are formed on the basis of drawing on the achievements of Western thought and culture and reflecting on history and reality. These ideas and viewpoints have been called by some scholars as the theoretical system of happiness ethics.
