   I recommend 2 books. The story of "The Art of Testing Chinese Characters" is very interesting and interesting to read. Some of the content is also a bit brain-consuming. It belongs to the modern urban genre. "Bee Ma Yanque" is set in the Republic of China, but this book is more brain-burning. It talks about liars among the children of Jianghu. The liars themselves are people with high IQs. It is also very interesting to read. I think this book is rated low. The logic is very good and it is also very realistic.
