This book is an early representative work of Xu Zhiyuan, a bestseller for nearly two decades. The chapters consist of the author’s reading reflections and notes written in places like Starbucks cafes and his Peking University dorm room. They are filled with a young person’s yearning for human civilization and a longing to bask in the brilliance of great souls. At the same time, faced with a society that is both rich and monotonous, he repeatedly analyzes his own heart, measures the distance between ideal and reality, and searches for his own historical coordinates. The book demonstrates a persistence in personal uniqueness and a vigilance against a closed, self-indulgent small world, offering significant inspiration to the younger generation.
