Features: "Ninety New Words," which was set by Mr. Fei Xiaotong after he turned 90. His aspiration was to strive for a new height and write works that were innovative, academically significant, and summative. This book collects important articles written by Mr. Fei Xiaotong from the age of 90 until his passing, over the five years leading up to his death. From these articles, we can sense his thoughts and reflections. In multiple essays such as "Creating a Harmonious and Diverse Global Society," "Revisiting the Relationship Between Humanity and Nature in Cultural Theory," and "Beauty, Harmony, and Shared Humanity in Civilization," Mr. Fei Xiaotong shared his unique insights on how the Chinese nation should engage with and interact with the world in an era where such contact is inevitable, and how humanity can achieve sustainable development. Other essays like "Notes on Making Up for Shortcomings," "Some Self-Reflections on 'Cultural Consciousness'," "Expanding the Traditional Boundaries of Sociology," and "Reflections on the Historical and Social Nature of Culture" are academic summaries that reveal Mr. Fei Xiaotong's growing wisdom and depth of thought as he aged.
