Remembering All the Hidden Gems in Older Books that We Published. Top Story - April 2026.
If the title and subtitle of this story sounds vain and like I'm doing a bit of bragging, that's probably because I am. Lately, I've been revisiting some of my older ebooks that I published nearly 10 years ago. Not only am I surprised at how relevant and just as timely the material still is, but I honestly forgot just how informative, inspirational, and extremely motivating I can be at times.

That 150,000 Yuan Almost Cost Me My Life My name is Chen Zhiyuan. I’m forty-three years old and a department supervisor at a mid-sized logistics company. "Supervisor" is a generous title; in reality, I’m just the punching bag caught between the boss and the drivers.
