In order to spread my wish more, and also for Guo Dongqin to live in my memory forever and leave traces of her life and value of life in this world forever, I compiled the articles in memory of her into this book. I think if someone could get inspiration from her lessons, alleviate pain and prolong life, then she would be as happy as getting a new life!

The craziness of society has subsided a little, and the dust has not yet completely settled, and my identity has changed slightly. Looking back later, this small change will be the starting point of another life for me. I rose from the lowest level of civilians to the power sector and entered the people's communes at that time. The small commune was originally nothing worth mentioning. People like to refer to the highest county official as a seventh-grade sesame official. The communes under the jurisdiction of the county level, just like the current towns, can only be called Jiupin Shaliguan. What's more, I'm just a footman whom a ninth-grade official can direct at will. However, the strange current situation gave power special functions. Just now, I was as humble as a grassroots, acting based on the face of the village head. Once I stepped over the threshold, my worth suddenly rose, and the head of the village actually acted based on my face.

There are 30 lessons on establishing a outlook on life. Each lesson tells a short, interesting and thought-provoking story about ancient and modern figures. In addition to understanding history, readers will also learn a little bit about how to be a good person.

Object prose is the realization and sublimation of Qiao Zhongyan's many years of writing practice. It means to write your words close to the object of expression, so as to form a unity in texture. The author Qiao Zhongyan will not stop at one expression object, so that as the expression object changes, he can reduce and avoid self-repetition. "Qiao Zhongyan's Object Prose" selects some such works, allowing readers to experience from different articles how the writer breaks out of repetitive patterns and improves the taste of prose writing.

"Talking about the World" is a collection of essays. According to the path taken by Mr. Yu Qiuyu and the standards that critics regard as a benchmark, many articles can be classified as historical and cultural essays. After summarizing the book, I, who have always been reluctant to settle accounts, actually changed my calculations in my mind. The selected works were all written in the past 15 years, and most of the chapters that I think are still readable were harvested in the past seven or eight years. In total, it has been 30 years since I entered the world of writing. But half of that time I didn't get involved in this field. After entering this field, I spent nearly half of my time practicing writing. It can be seen from this that historical and cultural prose is really not something that can be easily manipulated. I'm a little bolder.
