This book is a collection of prose essays written by Mr. Liang Wendao. It is mainly based on the text of the "Secret Notes" column in the literary edition of Hong Kong's "Sing Pao". It talks about many aspects of personal life experience and life feelings such as love and marriage, daily life, disease experience, faith perception, urban culture, literature and art, historical memory, etc. It reads fresh, natural, considerate, and often gives people unexpected enlightenment in its elegant and simple narrative.

This book is a collection of Liang Wendao's literary columns, divided into six parts: "How to listen to pure music", "Music never dies", "Tragedies happen as usual", "What are fans of electric phantoms", "Is the end of television here", and "What is entertainment?". Liang Wendao talks about his favorite music and movies through years of reading and observation, and also has unique experiences and opinions on television and entertainment. This may make readers rethink the existence of "noise" in the clamor of the media era, and how they invisibly affect or even shape social culture and life.

The big nation and the small world in the eyes of an intellectual. This book is a collection of current commentary written by Mr. Liang Wendao in the past two years, talking about many social aspects such as politics, democracy, ethnicity, education, press freedom, and citizen ethics. The writing style is sharp, the purpose of the article is clear, and the discussion is concise and powerful, often hitting the nail on the head of the problem. The writing not only brings readers the pleasure of reading, but also prompts people to think and inspire. The title of this book is "Common Sense", as Liang himself said: "The collection in this book is not very high-level, it is just common sense. If you think it is strange, it is because this is an era when common sense is scarce."

In an era of rapid change, reading seems to be one of the few spiritual activities that continues. This book is divided into seven categories: "Prepare to be a reader", "Abnormal readers", "Political gossip", "Classic talks" and "Learn some literary accents", "Supplementary knowledge" and "It's the World Cup, are you still studying?". There is "The Majestic Halloween" which talks about Beijing's cultural landmarks, and "The Voice of Working Girls" which focuses on female workers. It also talks about the real fun of football and its brave spiritual concept, criticizes the alienation caused by commercial practices, and so on. Behind the relaxed words, what is shown is the pursuit and efforts of a "normal reader" based on a solid reading foundation.
