In the vertical inheritance of contemporary Chinese traditional culture and the horizontal interaction of foreign cultures, in this "criss-cross" cultural background, Professor Liu Qing inspires us to explore the world and ourselves in a rational way through thought-provoking words, and to think about many issues such as "what people should believe in", "how they should live", and "how to understand and deal with difficulties".
This work combines keen historical consciousness with deep realistic concern. Professor Liu Qing combines history, culture, politics, philosophy and many other elements to interpret social development changes and the evolution of ideas, so that when the public faces this era, they can distinguish the ins and outs of issues and concepts, clarify our situation and self-understanding, and rebuild their imagination of the future.
Reader comments
In the Internet age where everyone can speak out, different opinions are competing with each other, and values are constantly being impacted until they are on the verge of collapse. This is one of the reasons why many modern people feel confused and at a loss. Liu Qing also mentioned this situation in the preface to this book: In the new horizon, many beliefs and perceptions that are undoubtedly "this is the way it is" will be met with incomprehension as to why this is the case, or in case it is not like this, or even the denial that the fact should not be like this. How should we change the way we think, stand firm in the rapid river of thought, embrace the wider world, and learn to think and distinguish right from wrong is very important.
The current fragmented, short-term and fast information dissemination method makes everyone indulge in rich and interesting information, gradually losing the ability to read in depth, and lacking a lot of long-term and in-depth thinking, making it difficult to establish a systematic thinking framework. So when faced with a problem, what we think is "our answer" is always right in front of us, but we don't know what it is. We'd better watch less short videos and fragmented information, and read more books. Books have their own golden houses. Reading more books can make you think constantly instead of just passively accepting fragmented information, which will not learn anything.
Sober refers to the clarity of mind, but when the times are groggy, how can an individual maintain a clear mind? What should people believe in today when the gods are fighting? What values do you hold? On the new horizon, the world has become a village. Amidst the diversity of values and even conflicts with each other, various choices are being made around us every day. When foreign countries are no longer so far away, and when tomorrow may not necessarily come, how can we maintain the peace in our hearts? Liu Qing's comments are worthy of our consideration.
This book is very thoughtful. Professor Liu Qing discusses many important issues about modern society and life. His unique perspectives and in-depth analysis gave me a clearer understanding of myself and the world around me. Some chapters in the book, such as the interpretation of modern culture, deeply inspired me. I think this is a good book that can make people think and grow. I recommend it to friends who are interested in philosophy and social issues.
After reading in depth, I found that Liu Qing is really a prudent author. Each topic selection is within the scope of our public discussion, but each discussion has far-reaching intentions and a high-level pattern. After reading it, you will have some ideological enlightenment and some new thoughts. In the modern era of economic globalization and Internet development, this kind of writing deserves our deep thought and study. As the title of the book says: Be a sober modern person, rather than follow the crowd and follow what others say.
