Features: Words without spirit are powerless. Beyond the light songs and dances, joys and sorrows in contemporary essays, New Era Tolerance collects reflections from writers such as Zhang Chengzhi, Shi Tiesheng, Huang Canran, Han Shaogong, Li Rui, Wang Xiaobo, Ge Fei, and others. They use essays to rebuild their spiritual homelands: Zhang Chengzhi's journey to Kashgar is not a romantic pursuit of frontier charm, Niu Han's recollections of Lu Ling and Hu Feng are deeply scarred by over two decades of human experience, and Xiao Min writes about women like Joan of Arc, Rosa Luxemburg, and Qiu Jin.
