    ① The author of *The Mistake of Langya* demonstrates an impressive understanding and skillful use of classical Chinese, with first-rate writing. ② The author of *Who's Studying for a PhD in the Basement?* Possesses extensive knowledge of materials science—alloys—within the physics major. While the writing style is average, AI is used effectively for polishing, and the core content and professional knowledge are still written by the author himself. ③ The author of *Under the Sky* demonstrates a profound understanding of Buddhism in the first volume, weaving together a series of short stories in each chapter. The philosophical reflections on Buddhism within are brilliant and worth reading. ④ *The Last Chinese Medicine Practitioner in China* is about traditional Chinese medicine, but it has nothing to do with the "last Chinese medicine practitioner." It simply provides a systematic explanation of the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine: observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation. It is also worth reading. ⑤ *Venus is a Bit Annoying*, a masterpiece by Ma Boyong, uses Journey to the West as its backdrop to depict the dissatisfaction of working people with the workplace, full of satire. ⑥, ⑦, And ⑧ probably don't need much further explanation, right?
