Today’s happiness is all given by Zhou Guoping. I read some of his books many years ago. They are very good and I have learned a lot. I also agree with many of his views on people, society, values and many other fields. He is a low-key spiritual master. Now that I read it again, I have a deeper understanding and admiration.
Zhou Guoping was very popular a few years ago, and his works can often be seen in bookstores. Later, he gradually faded out of people's sight. This is quite normal. If a creator in the literary field can be under the attention of the media for a long time and has been in a very popular state, one thing can only be seen that he is too utilitarian, excessively catering to the market and traffic. In the traffic economy, this purpose is self-evident, and it is not an exaggeration to call it kitsch.
An independent-minded author will avoid the spotlight at some point, live his own life quietly, continue to write his own independent thinking works, and will not follow the trend or be affected by the trend.
I recommend his book "Settle Your Mind". The content covers more fields than the title, including humanities, society, education, the current situation of the Chinese people, etc. There is also some content in the book that points out the current social problems and my own views, and criticizes some social issues. The content is a bit sharp, and it will definitely be suspected of being "politically incorrect", so it is even less likely to be paid attention to by the mainstream media. After reading it, I found that he turned out to be a relatively versatile person. Just like Leonardo da Vinci, he was much more than a painter, and he was also much more than a writer.
Today is my birthday. I want to reward myself for spending the whole day reading quietly in the library. I have to mention that the environment of the new Quanzhou Library is really comfortable and amazing. I also like Quanzhou very much.
