Zhang Ming is a typical example of today's intellectuals who care about and think about history and current affairs. This book is a series of Zhang Ming's reflections on China's current situation, including history, society, politics, power and other issues. It continues Zhang Ming's easy-to-understand but profound style. He analyzed the character of Chinese people, the operation of social power, the irrationality of the education system, etc. His views were profound and original, and his language was sharp and penetrating. I believe readers will have a deeper understanding of some social issues after reading it.
