Features: This book originates from Phoenix TV's alternative legal program, where host Wen Tao speaks out boldly and reveals his true character, delivering speeches on "major cases, significant cases, strange cases, and public cases" in social legends. He maintains a reasoned and principled stance, clarifying the truth and exposing the corrupt. As a narrator, Tao insists on the attitude of "listening truthfully, observing truthfully, and feeling truthfully," allowing the audience to discover a moral and ethical perspective on legal cases. Whether Tao is sitting formally, laughing humorously, or expressing condemnation and anger, the program remains serious yet lighthearted, and thought-provoking yet playful. The name of the program《》 is truly strange; it could be said to be plagued with misfortune, or rather, full of twists and turns. Three fates: short-lived, suffering, and dark. To protect the life of the program, the author had no choice but to accept fate. The result of accepting fate was a revolution deep within the soul. In《》, the author acts like a storyteller, which truly dishonors the ancestors. That's not storytelling, but speaking—speaking about ever-changing events. If there's a hint of storytelling, it's just a decorative edge. In ancient times, "speaking" had two categories: one was about traditional stories, like Shan Tianfang's《Sui-Tang Romance》 or the Cantonese "." The other was even more popular at the time, speaking about events in contemporary society, things happening around people. This is somewhat similar to the topics of《》—we speak of modern legends, but we don't know how they were told in ancient times. This style was lost, and we don't know why. It truly fits the description of being short-lived. Could it be that this path is also a suffering and dark fate?
