Features: Both Hu Shi and Li Ao can be said to have "a vast body of works," but these numerous works are generally beyond the reach of ordinary people to find or read entirely. This "selected essence" compilation method categorizes and extracts the essence of articles, leaving no stone unturned and publishing them comprehensively, which is extremely helpful for the selection and dissemination of the complete works. Readers, when reading, are like enjoying small snacks and side dishes, freely obtaining the true essence within self-contained units. Li Ao reigns supreme with his words, commanding the world of literature with his pen. He himself said, "I cannot be humble. I deeply feel that I bear a significant portion of the burden of carrying forward the legacy, and this responsibility is non-negotiable—it must be me, no one else. I cannot relax myself because I cannot forget the responsibilities I should fulfill. I am fully aware that in this oblivious crowd of men, I am a rare gem, a lone and sharp bloom, unmatched by anyone. I stand on the side of the world." Li Ao is a madman, and the sayings of a madman are often classic, incisive, and penetrating. The selections in this book are all classic words of Li Ao.
