First, the pieces in the book are written by the renowned author, and even considering the thought of "the past has been too hard," it is worth buying and reading.
Second, each piece in the book was carefully selected by Ms. Xu Xiushan alongside the author through multiple deliberations, and thus it possesses the following advantages.
One is the selection is refined. That is, all the pieces selected are those the author put effort into writing and believed to be well done, worth reading.
Another is the scope is broad. Speaking of prose, essays, short pieces, or miscellaneous writings, the author has written many over the years, and there are already seven or eight collections compiled. The pieces selected here can be said to cover everything, with themes ranging from large to small, from objects to the heart, attitudes from praise to criticism, from serious to humorous. Therefore, reading it will allow one to catch a glimpse and see the whole picture.
Third, it balances the emotional and value aspects of the content while catering to the readers' interests, so there is no need to worry about it being dull.
Third, many pieces in the book have been included in other collections and published before. When reprinted, there will inevitably be repetition. How to solve this? One idea is that it doesn’t matter much, because, for example, if one book has one buyer out of 100,000, and the country has 1.2 billion people, it can sell 12,000 copies. Another book also sells 12,000 copies, both being one in a hundred thousand. The chance that they are the same person is not very high, right? In such cases, or to say only in such cases, the adage of "many hands make light work" can pass unimpeded.
Another idea is that when buying books with one’s own money, it has always been voluntary. If one sees repetition and is unwilling to buy, they can simply choose not to. Thus, the big problem is reduced, and the small problem becomes zero.
