"The night is quiet, and when I walk along the Pearl River alone, there are countless moods surging in my heart." In The eyes of Wang William, Guangzhou has a wonderful and thick history, like a river flowing and rushing, and after stopping, you can hear endless echoes. As he says on the title page of Your Gaze: "When we stop indulging in what we see, the eyes of the world come upon us." ”

"The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is a place where the eyes of the world come together, and I am fortunate to be in such a cultural space. I want to constantly draw the world's attention into the text, and at the same time focus the reader's eyes on my work. William Wang said.

From the I Ching to the biography of Lee Kuan Yew, Wu Jiahui, a member of the Guangzhou Nansha Guangdong-Hong Kong Cooperation Advisory Committee and the founder and chief executive officer of timetable, has a wide range of topics, and his thinking on "how to read" can be summarized into a formula: reading + thinking = cognition. He explained that sometimes reading books cannot directly change life, but also needs to think about the content of reading to make it their own cognition, and "cognition can change the pattern, open the pattern and then change life." He believes that the same is true for enterprises, "cognition determines the competitiveness of enterprises."
