《褚时健传（修订版）》褚时健传修订版：生命的伟大旅程

Successful individuals often have stories from their childhood or adolescence where they didn't follow the rules and expressed their individuality. Perhaps it is this distinctive and unconventional trait that forms the foundation of their success.

In the experiences of young people during the Anti-Japanese War, we can see their patriotic fervor and sorrow at the country's perilous state.

When reading non-fiction books, I often try to avoid the period between the 1950s and 1970s. Even though I know that covering my eyes will not change the facts, just through words, I already sense the despair and heartache. It's hard to imagine how people who actually experienced this period were able to persevere.

It's understandable that biographies tend to highlight the positive aspects of a person and overlook their negative qualities. Even in cases where someone has been convicted, the author's account may raise questions or doubts about the sentence, even affirming that the person should not have been convicted. I believe in the justice system's investigations and judgments, but the defense by lawyer Ma Jun is thought-provoking. The leaders of state-owned enterprises manage large, top-tier companies across the country, and even globally. If they were private enterprises, not just top executives, the income of ordinary executives would already be coveted. Yet, the income of state-owned enterprise management does not seem to match the scale of the enterprise. Is this a problem? Of course it is. People tend to make lateral comparisons. Others and I manage enterprises of the same or even smaller scale, but their income is tens or hundreds of times higher than mine. Will I be unhappy about this? When this feeling of unease arises, some people can stick to their principles while others cannot. If they cannot, then they will naturally fall into trouble. Of course, I'm not saying that those who can't stick to their principles haven't done anything wrong. They chose to work for a state-owned enterprise, which naturally implies accepting such a salary. Additionally, state-owned enterprises enjoy more advantages and lower risks than private enterprises, resulting in a management team with the same scale of market ability being stronger among private enterprises than among state-owned enterprises. Therefore, the starting lines are not the same. Making state-owned enterprises more market-oriented may be the way forward for them.

As someone who dreams of being a slacker every day, I find it hard to understand how Chu Shijian, at his age, could complicate his life by starting a career from scratch. Of course, succeeding brings a sense of accomplishment and significant benefits, but it also requires a great deal of mental effort. This is perhaps the difference between successful people and ordinary slackers.
