Features: This book is the second result of Shanghai's renowned columnist Xiao Bao's many years of cultural and fashion criticism writings.

The famous Beijing writer Wang Shuo wrote the preface for this book. In the preface, he wrote: "First is amazement at the author's high enthusiasm and keen eyesight—he notices everything and offers commentary after just a glance. Second is a sense of extravagance—so much intelligence is generously distributed. Third is relief that there are people like him, who turn dull lives into a feast, making even the most uninteresting things seem meaningful in his writing. It brings joy, as if everyone's life hasn't been in vain."
