Shared by: I would like to express my deepest condolences! A person who changed mankind's understanding of the universe, and has had infinite reveries about the vast universe since then. A person who changed my view of literati, Politicians, feelings, love, culture, women, fashion... too many cognitions. Today it has been 8 years since I read "Collected Works of Li Ao". This person taught me how to release my personality in adolescence and taught me how to deal with the low points of life. How to build self-confidence during this period taught me that a person's feelings really have nothing to do with age. From being wild and unrestrained to self-confident, Li Ao never had an idol again.
