Many of the ideas in this book have been expressed by the author in his past articles or letters. Moreover, if a professional writer had written this book, the language and writing would certainly have been more fluent and vivid. However, the author always feels compelled to put pen to paper because he believes he has a certain influence on the younger generation and hopes to do his best to help them. The author firmly believes that readers cannot accept preachy or unrelatable examples. In the eyes of young people, stories of success are worth learning from and reflecting on, making it easier to draw lessons and inspiration from them.
If there is any characteristic of the author's writing that can be discerned, it is his tendency to use rigorous logic and real-life examples to explain the secrets of success. Although this book is not an autobiography, it also contains many interesting and valuable stories from the author's life. The author dedicates this book to his beloved motherland and to the younger generation eager for progress, because he firmly believes: only when more young people find confidence and happiness, and discover their own paths to success, can the Chinese nation achieve a more glorious future.
