After reviewing the proofs, I felt truly delighted. The text materials of mine are actually not impressive, but thanks to the thoughtful efforts of Ms. Zhuoya and her outstanding photographic works, they have been elevated to a point where even I feel a sense of pride. This reminds me of a saying: A person has a broken chair at home that causes trouble, so they take it to an auction house. The auctioneer praises the chair to the fullest, leaving the original owner most moved. Happily, they buy the chair back. Of course, this person is like me—Huang Yongyu.
