Features: This book records and depicts the Chinese people's experience with cars, as well as their encounters with car-related products—traffic jams, racing, and car repairs—from the perspective of a self-taught automotive enthusiast and a former government official who became the head of a private automotive enterprise. It not only discusses cars or the automotive market but also explores the lifestyles, attitudes, and insights formed by Chinese people as they interact with cars, guiding readers to embrace a correct, comfortable, and high-end automotive lifestyle. Of course, it is not a chronicle of the automotive industry but rather a collection of Chinese automotive essays and miscellany. It observes the automotive society from the horizon of social psychology, discusses the myriad dynamics of the car market, and compiles the diverse aspects of automotive life.
