E-book download: "I'd Rather Die Than Be a Shanghai Man"

This book, with its over ten thousand words of critique, may not be a masterpiece in every sentence, but it is also hard to find sarcasm, ridicule, abuse, mockery, or questioning. However, this will not affect the intensity of cultural criticism at all. Among them, the article "Preliminary Discussion on 'Cleverness'" especially highlights individuality. The author strongly supports the main body of the "preliminary discussion" through four arguments: "clever" is not in the "clear" place, "clever" in calculation, "clever" in detail, and how "clever" the "threshold clever" is,颠覆ing the long-standing public consensus in people's minds that "Shanghai men are the smartest". This book is a cultural critique book. There are few "good words" in the text, which is normal. If we require this book to be written like an eight-part essay, praising first and then criticizing, then it would not be called cultural criticism, but a summary report. Moreover, writing a summary report has never been the style of people who conduct cultural criticism, nor is it Qin Lin's style.
