Features: A star of Chinese new philosophy, originally from Yunnan. From the remote border town of Tengchong, a hometown of overseas Chinese, to Yan'an, a sacred site of the Chinese revolution, Ai Siqi completed a new philosophical system in sync with the pulse of the Chinese working class fighting for revolution. Ai Siqi was profound. His philosophical thoughts once illuminated the path for the masses toward revolution and also won the admiration of the great leader Mao Zedong, inevitably also angering Mr. Chiang Kai-shek. Ai Siqi was innovative. In the 1930s, facing political suppression and attacks from philosophical factions, he reshaped the image of philosophy, using Popular Philosophy as a milestone to bring philosophy out of the sacred temple and make it a weapon for the common people. All paths of innovation are. Ai Siqi's life was inevitably filled with the smoke of struggle. This book, with vivid prose and rich content, outlines the growth and journey of this philosopher on the philosophical stage. The Ai Siqi presented to the readers is diverse—both profound and erudite like a wise person, and also approachable and kind like a great achiever, with the obscurity of an "electric shock." These qualities are further enhanced by newly disclosed historical materials and precise descriptions.
