Features: Wang Yi's essays can be considered an alternative in today's essay writing. This is not just because of his wide range of knowledge and interests, ranging from the novels of Jin Yong and Gu Long, classical literature, film and television works, to Chinese and foreign history, social systems, and even current international affairs. It is also not just because of his light and effortless writing style, full of wit and humor, and his skill in using colloquial language while avoiding a naive student-like tone. Moreover, his essays possess unique thoughts that are consistently maintained, which is rare. The author has a deep understanding and strong interest in liberalism, and thus, when commenting on people and events, he has his own guiding stance rather than just following the crowd or wavering. The essays collected here are some of Wang Yi's recent reflections published in the media, organized into five sections based on their general content. The th section primarily focuses on characters from Jin Yong, Gu Long, and classical literature, using the past to discuss contemporary trends and morality. This is a collection of new talent's works and also a witness to the profound changes in how people communicate and express themselves in the internet era. It originates from real life and reflects the voice of the people, and it will surely repay the people whom the author deeply loves.
