Features: Tagore: When God created man, he filled his pockets with laws and principles; but when he created woman, he only held a paintbrush and a box of colors. Byron: Men are monsters, women are creatures! Lin Yutang: Men only understand the philosophy of life, while women understand life. Eileen Chang: Men can flirt with bar girls without losing their dignity, but upper-class women cannot throw a distant kiss to a mailman! Nietzsche: Do you want to go to a woman? Please bring your whip! Zhang Xiaoxian: A man's love, morality, and reason are in his upper body, but his lower body is the devil. No matter how virtuous his upper body is, it cannot resist the weakness of his lower body. The articles collected in this book are all written by renowned masters and scholars on the subject of gender enlightenment. The authors have all experienced the hardships of life and then understood the true meaning of life, attained proficiency in human emotions, and then took up their pens to write, describing the state of the world and the complexities of human affairs. This is called "first being poor and then becoming skilled." Their careful word choice, wonderful and witty language, or humor and wit, or leisurely and refined interests, or genuine emotions, or deep thought. Men's greed, anger, obsession, wisdom, courage, and trust, as well as women's tenderness, innocence, narrow-mindedness, spirituality, intelligence, and charm, all shine in the text. Many common points in human nature become the finishing touch, and the vividly portrayed characters in the text are just like ourselves, and also resemble our parents, lovers, and friends. Reading it may make your heart flutter, or you may laugh out loud, or you may nod in approval, as if you have been enlightened. In human history, gender is an eternal theme; in literary works, love is an eternal title; in real life, gender is an eternal puzzle. Let us follow the masters into Adam and Eve's paradise—entangled and yet enjoyable. Whether it is the wise Nietzsche, the East-West scholar Lin Yutang, the world-weary Eileen Chang, or the delicate Zhu Ziqing, they all exist first as men or women and cannot escape the vast difference of gender. Whether it is the Eastern literary giant Tagore, the Western poetic sage Byron, the witty writer Liang Shiqiu, or the romantic scholar Xu Zhimo, they are all confidants of men and close friends of women, relying on their profound and unique insights into gender. Let us share the masters' insights on gender.
