Features: As one of the few original works daring to say "I dare to be myself" in today's world, the author of this book should not be an ordinary author, nor should the readers be ordinary readers. The term "unusual" refers to unconventional ways of thinking. Before the book was finalized, it was invited for review by over a hundred "sagacious individuals" from various fields, including Jing Yidan, Niu Gensheng, Fang Hongjin, Jin Yue, He Lumin, Ai Yi, and Sima Nan. Their heartfelt remarks were both a reflection of their own responsibility and a commitment to the readers and society. The book attracted the attention of multiple national-level publishers, and it also received unexpected support and assistance from publishers like Jin Liqing and Li Bo, the producers of "Wolf Totem," and Tang Xiaoming, the producer of "Who Moved My Cheese." The book can be read in two ways, and it is believed that those with some experience, background, and power will choose one of them:
1. Fit the description, discuss specific matters, be part of it, be trapped in it, and face one's weaknesses in their weaknesses.
2. Drink to the song, generalize from specific cases, find the drama outside the play, the poetry outside the poem, and the skill beyond the skill.
The book not only has two ways of reading but also two ideas. Who says "A Great Little Matter" is not an ordinary book, and who says "A Great Little Matter" is not an ordinary matter. The first idea stems from common sense, where the author claims ownership of the book and takes pride in being a "specialist in small things," becoming arrogant and complacent, and enjoying it for a long time. The second idea comes from forgetfulness, where the author considers himself only the author of this book, with previous efforts being just paving stones to attract contributions from all over the world. If the trend is favorable, the author is willing to step aside and let others focus on the details of the nation, staying in the background to support "collective creation." Perhaps due to this consideration, domestic lawyers like Fu Yang, Da Jin, and Jia Li were willing to volunteer as legal advisors for the book, ensuring its rapid advancement in protecting national details.
Based on this, from this, whether major or minor matters are more important, whether the greater self or the smaller self should take precedence, the author is all ears.
