Features: Li Ao stayed on the island for 56 years, never stepping out to comment on the world, criticizing everyone he wanted to. He lived life to the fullest, claiming he would never leave the island, yet suddenly embarked on a cultural journey to mainland China, delighting readers from both sides of the strait. Back then, when Taiwan opened up for relatives to visit mainland China, Li Ao's mother visited the mainland during her lifetime, and his sister also came from the mainland to Taiwan. Many people wondered when Li Ao would return to his homeland in mainland China. After Li Ao's 400-episode talk show "Li Ao Has Something to Say" aired on Phoenix TV, it was very popular among mainland Chinese audiences. Prior to this, Li Ao's mainland editions of his books already had a substantial readership. Taking advantage of his good health and vitality, Li Ao was also eager to connect with the people of mainland China and experience its history and culture firsthand. Therefore, as a historian, writer, renowned contemporary cultural scholar, and host of Phoenix TV, Li Ao framed his trip to mainland China as a "Cultural Journey to Shenzhou." Li Ao's "Cultural Journey to Shenzhou" is incredibly rich in content, fully showcasing his personal charm and highlighting his unique and unconventional personality. It is believed that through this book, readers will see a Li Ao who is both flesh and blood and truly lovable.
