Leave space to the world and time to yourself. This is a book for those who struggle alone. It focuses on exploring the possibility of a better life and a better society from an individual perspective. Faced with the double pressure from the state and society, the author analyzes "selflessness means no morality", "pessimistic rationality", "incomplete compassion" and "the tyranny of the majority", and criticizes the popular concepts such as "refined egoist". The author believes that the passion for beauty is the basis of man's divinity. In its attitude towards suffering and absurdity, this book is full of tender sympathy for the individual's situation. Joy and pain are all plants and trees in the garden of human destiny, and they have the same weight. Here, Sisyphean futility is bliss. When a living person sees life, he not only pushes the stones on the ground, but also the roses in the sky. True compassion, in addition to sacrifice for all sentient beings, also includes self-perfection.

Xiong Peiyun: After discovering society and advocating for freedom, I reiterated my personal responsibility. In the era of utopia, we deny the present for the sake of the future; in the era of utilitarianism, we abandon the future for the sake of the present. When China slid from one extreme to another, Xiong Peiyun used his usual optimistic attitude to restore people's confidence and enthusiasm for rationality. Will this society be good? It is both a question and an expectation. This book connects ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and not only focuses on key issues such as revolution and reform, freedom and responsibility, violence and forgiveness, morality and law, but also explains the importance of individuals in social change from the perspective of "taking one's own responsibility for the world".
