Their content is extremely rich, covering major domestic and international events as well as small figures from the bottom of Chinese society. Liang Xiaosheng's essays are characterized by: clear love and hatred, where satire, laughter, anger, and curses all become essays; genuine emotions, where human joys and sorrows all become essays; past, present, or future, amidst the complexities of the world, every detail seen and heard, every thought and reflection, all become essays; wild animals and insects, the myriad forms of life, written freely, all become essays. Of course, this is also a skillful ability of those who write essays; but in Liang Xiaosheng's hands, his works often reveal storytelling and allegorical qualities, making readers inevitably think of Oscar Wilde. In fiction, some praise Liang Xiaosheng as "China's Balzac"; while in essays, Liang Xiaosheng, with his distinctive style, might be likened to "China's Oscar Wilde." And this is precisely the motivation behind our decision to publish this collection.
