On life's journey, I've come to realize that growth is the most significant aspect. Often, the destination doesn't match our expectations, and the imagined plans prove futile upon arrival. Rather than forcing it, it's better to tuck these notions away and patiently await the right moment to unfold them. Through detours and moments of being lost, I've gained valuable experience, understanding that as we mature, we can't always be recklessly heroic. Rash passion and easy sacrifice can lead to empty and absurd outcomes, akin to dying senselessly in a mirage. It's a realization that we may end up looking foolish, much like Don Quixote tilting at windmills.

Ni Kuang's out-of-print classic essay collection "Unsent Letters" is a recent addition to his diverse body of work, which includes novels, movie scripts, and essays that express his personal opinions. The collection, comprising two essay columns, "Thoughts" and "Unsent Letters," originally appeared in weekly magazines before being compiled into a book. Since its publication, "Unsent Letters" has sparked mixed reactions, with some readers agreeing with the views expressed and others passionately opposing them. Ni Kuang emphasizes that whether readers agree or disagree is not the primary concern, as personal thoughts are inherently subjective and may challenge traditional concepts of "morality." While his ideas may not resonate with everyone, Ni Kuang asserts that "Unsent Letters" will never be mailed, signifying the deeply personal nature of the collection.
