This book is a collection of academic essays by Mr. Ge Jianxiong. The content is mainly divided into five parts: thoughts on China's historical geography, unity and division; notes or reflections on reading history books; memories and nostalgia for Gu Jiegang and Tan Qixiang; some opinions on education, talents, intellectuals, and humanistic spirit; and several articles discussing issues such as population, immigration, and the environment. The book's writing is plain, its views are broad, and its critical thinking on the development of culture and civilization is even more thought-provoking.
