Lao Yu said: "I obey the arrangements of fate, but I do not obey the tyranny of fate! Within the scope of my ability, I would rather fight and die than lie down and live." Looking back on the past three years, he led New Oriental to rise from the bottom. With Oriental Selection, he has more confidence in the future; he has read hundreds of books, interviewed nearly a hundred outstanding people from all walks of life, and left more than 1.2 Million records of conversations. I would rather move my heart with a white head than my ambition to fall into the blue clouds! This book is a gift from the 60-year-old Yu to pay tribute to his years. Let us follow the wise men in the book and stay sharp, keep talking, and keep thinking in this ever-changing era.
Reader comments
Teacher Yu is my idol. In the past, Teacher Yu's books were more like chicken soup for the soul, telling the history of personal suffering and struggle. It was boring to read.
But in this book, Teacher Yu changed his previous style and recorded it in a conversational way, and compiled it into a book! The guests are scholars, professors, mentors, etc.! This is Teacher Yu's consistent style, using knowledge to influence a generation!
My favorite quote from guest Yin Ye in this book is: The reason why human beings can inherit and develop, and civilization can keep moving forward, is because the next generation will never listen to the words of the previous generation.
This book has benefited me a lot. Lao Yu's conversations covered many areas and allowed me to see all kinds of different lives. His conversations with the guests were very real and made me feel their wisdom and courage. Especially the part where Lao Yu and Liu Daming talked about suffering made me understand that as long as people know why they live, they can endure any kind of life. I also want to learn from Lao Yu, not to obey the tyranny of fate, and to strive to pursue my dreams.
At the Turn of the Xiajiang River: Chen Xingjia's Life Notes I am going to read this book
It is rare that I have met so many interesting, knowledgeable, and unique people through this book, and I have learned from them.
Thank you, Teacher Yu Minhong, for allowing me to meet different valuable people, allowing you and me to move forward with them, learn and grow.

Sharing true stories is very beneficial
Real, stick to life!
Very real life portrayal
Very good, very real
It's also better, but it feels a bit repetitive.
