Features: Morrie was a sociology and psychology professor in his seventies, suffering from a terminal illness. In 1994, when he learned that he was going to leave this world due to his illness, he made an agreement with his student, the renowned American columnist Mitch Albom. They decided that he would teach his last class to the students every Tuesday. The name of the course was "Life," and the content was the sociology professor's valuable reflections on life. The course lasted for fourteen weeks, with the last class being the funeral of the old man. After the old man passed away, the students compiled their class notes and published them, naming the book "Tuesdays with Morrie." The book covers eternal life topics such as the world and death, family and emotions, money and eternal love. As soon as the book was released, it caused a sensation across the United States and ranked on the American bestseller list for 40 consecutive weeks. After the Chinese translation was published, it also attracted widespread attention from all walks of life in China—proof that inspiration knows no borders. Writer Yu Qiuyu wrote in the preface to the book, "He left behind his classroom, and the classroom has grown bigger, now extending to China. I call out to passersby: Come, it's worth listening in."
