Features: As soon as you see the title of this book, you'll think of Eden, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the garden, the wisdom fruit on the tree, Adam and Eve, and even the serpent. It was the serpent that tempted Eve to disobey God's command and eat the wisdom fruit, and also gave some to Adam. As a result, God banished Adam and Eve from Eden and cursed the serpent to crawl on its belly. God's curse—people really shouldn't curse the serpent! If humans hadn't been taught by the serpent to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, gaining wisdom equal to that of God, they would have remained forever in confusion and ignorance. The serpent was originally able to fly! For humans to gain wisdom, the serpent received such a severe punishment! People really ought to praise the serpent! This book doesn't praise the serpent but rather praises humanity. In this book, some chapters have been selected for an essay collection, and others have been included in the 2001 China Annual Best Essay and Poetry Collection.
