Features: The deep affection and wisdom embedded in Liang Xiaobin's poetry are a multifaceted witness to the journey of Chinese writing in the past 15 years. What is even rarer and more valuable is that this poet, who lives like an ice cube, has, through his own arduous efforts, restored or continued a pure and noble literary ideal: dissolving obscurity with transparency, burying superficiality with depth, and prevailing with the few over the many. Liang Xiaobin Speaks, a groundbreaking work by a genius thinker, is a masterpiece that elevates human thought. Liang Xiaobin, a representative poet of the Misty Poetry movement, may be one of the most overlooked poets and thinkers in China. Over the past decade, he has devoted himself to independent thought and writing, nearly cutting himself off from the outside world. It wasn’t until 1998 that his poems were gradually selected for inclusion in some language textbooks, such as College Chinese, that he re-emerged in public view. In 2000, his poem I Love the Scenery of Autumn was selected for the third volume of the national general high school Chinese language textbook, making him one of only five to six contemporary writers included in the entire high school curriculum. In 2001, his essay Alone as a Mummy was published and received acclaim from the intellectual community, and it was also selected as one of the best books of the year by Southern Weekly. In 2005, Liang Xiaobin was named the annual (crown poet) by China Central Television (CCTV). Liang Xiaobin Speaks is a selected collection of his nearly a million words of thought essays over nine years. "This world never understands its great ones," and this almost applies to Liang Xiaobin as well. Liang Xiaobin is not a traditional literary figure in the sense we are accustomed to; his thoughts shatter all conventions and prejudices of the world. What he offers you is the dignity of human thought. This book first publicly reveals the process of a Chinese person struggling with his own intellectual dilemmas. He is always exploring in the blind spots of people's thinking, reflecting on things that have never been questioned before. He expresses not fleeting trends, but the true thoughts and values that Chinese people truly need. Another important feature of Liang Xiaobin's texts is their allegorical nature; they are a kind of allegory of the "essence of China" being reborn. In the annual poet recommendation by CCTV, it was written: "Poet Liang Xiaobin, a poetry fairy tale of a turbulent era, persistently writes with resilience and strength, fully integrating poetry into his life even on the fringes of society. During the enlightenment of New Period literature, his solid, clear, transparent, and profound verses roared across the wilderness of all cities in China. His simple yet deeply meaningful poetry continues to influence people today."
