Features: As a Chinese, Li Ao was indeed unfortunate. Although he had been imprisoned twice, he did not receive the glory and brilliance that Voltaire had. Li Ao was also lucky. In those years, the works of Li Zhi were burned down twice—first during the Wanli era and then during the Tianqi era—and he himself died for his beliefs with blood. However, Li Ao's works had also been censored, but today, he can freely compile his collected works and proudly watch his books enter the homes of ordinary people one by one. This book is the result of the author's dedicated research into the current state of education in Taiwan, and he can only express his "cricket's wrath" through the masks of educational institutions and the education within them. The author exposes the strange phenomena in Taiwan's higher education, the professors' "dividing the spoils" and "self-gratification"; the stifling academic atmosphere, the stagnant campus culture, the confusion between teacherly virtue and right and wrong, the flaws of the examination system, as well as the various corrupt practices in the College of Liberal Arts at Taiwan University and the Central Research Institute of Taiwan.
