Features: "Ninety New Sayings" is what Mr. Fei Xiaotong set for himself after turning 90. His wish was to strive for a new height and write works that were innovative, academically significant, and summative. This book collects important articles written by Mr. Fei Xiaotong from the age of 90 until shortly before his passing, over a span of five years. From these articles, we can sense his thoughts and reflections. In multiple essays such as "Creating a Harmonious and Diverse Global Society," "Rethinking the Relationship Between Humanity and Nature in Cultural Theory," and "Beauty, Beauty, and Shared Humanity in Human Civilization," Mr. Fei Xiaotong shared his unique insights on how the Chinese nation should engage with the world in an inevitable era of contact and exchange, and how humanity can achieve sustainable development. In essays like "Notes on Making Up for Shortcomings," "Some Self-Reflections on 'Cultural Consciousness'," "Discussing the Expansion of Sociological Boundaries," and "Reflections on the Historical and Social Nature of Culture," Mr. Fei Xiaotong provided academic summaries, from which we can perceive the wisdom and depth of his thoughts becoming increasingly profound as he grew older.
