Chen Jiaying's self-selected essays from 2007 to 2018. The new work after "What is a Good Life" is about thinking carefully and expressing these thoughts seriously, calling on people who love thinking to think together. In an era of crisis and strife, how philosophy can help us reflect on life. "We don't so much need consensus as we need to learn how people without consensus should survive together." This book is a collection of speeches, interviews and comments made by Mr. Chen Jiaying from 2007 to 2018. There are different ways. There were different ways in the past, there are different ways now, and there will be different ways in the future. The important question is not to find the only way, but how these different ways respond, communicate, and fight. If you insist that what philosophy wants is the only system of truth, then I have to say that philosophy is dead. Philosophy, especially today's philosophy, is not missionary, and it is not a missionary missionary from superior wisdom to inferior fools. What we want first is not for others to understand, but for ourselves to understand. "What I personally want is to think seriously, express these thoughts seriously, and call on people who love thinking to think together."

Travels in China by philosopher Chen Jiaying. In 1981, 29-year-old Chen Jiaying embarked on a two-month journey in the spring and traveled half of China. He wrote down his experiences and thoughts during the trip in 25 letters to his family. "The way of writing is just to express the idea. The matter is plain, there is no need to be emotional; the enthusiasm is overflowing, there is no need to be subtle. Personally, I just hope that in the event of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in Jian'an, I will be honest and straightforward, with less frivolity, and there will naturally be strength in it." The traveler's letters copy the scenery in a detailed and natural way, and the narrative expression reveals a free and sincere state of life. Reading his books makes me want to see him as a person.
