Features: I once read about this in an issue of "Football" magazine. Yang Zuwu, a modern football club member, once told the players the story from "The Door Ajar" before an important match to motivate them to fight hard, and later the modern team won big. Later, I saw this set of books at Xidan Book Building and bought a copy. After reading it, I made it one of the mandatory reading materials for my company employees. —Zhu Yitian (General Manager of Beijing Bense Culture Company)
The charm of this book series lies in its "small but profound": the stories are short and easy to read, yet they contain profound truths that cover all aspects of life. They offer rich inspiration through vivid examples, avoiding the dry preaching of the past. —Bao Yunfan (Senior Reporter of Beijing Youth Daily)
Before you edited and published this series, these stories were mostly used by newspapers to fill (white space), serving as mere decorations for the pages. Once they were gathered in this book and accompanied by insightful comments, they became a exquisite feast of wisdom. —Yu Kai (Film and Television Planner)
Love and wisdom are both great realms in life. Love can make one pure and kind-hearted, while wisdom keeps one's mind clear and bright. Our fundamental strength comes from love—love, romance, family love, friendship, and compassion for others. All are manifestations of love. Where there is love, there is responsibility, and where there is responsibility, there is motivation to move forward. Wisdom, on the other hand, allows us to joyfully walk the entire journey between love and responsibility! —Xiao Jian (Advisor and Columnist for this book)
