A Self-Redemption Story of an 80s-Born Chinese Person in 'The Ugly Chinese'
Revisiting this book unexpectedly, a renewed sense of gratitude for my middle school Chinese teacher's guidance, and heartfelt appreciation.
Reading Pierre Yang's works during my naive years sparked a curiosity about critical analysis of reality. It evolved from ignorance to enlightenment, and I deeply yearned to change my circumstances and pursue my ambitions. However, I spent a long time immersed in the chaotic landscape of real life after becoming an adult…
As Pierre Yang said, 'A person living in the world is like a pebble in a cement mixer – once it starts spinning, it's uncontrollable.'
Revisiting, reflecting, and starting anew. Even if I lack the ability to escape this chaotic world, I hope to live with greater understanding and clarity.
