Optimistic and anti-cancer, he summed up his own experience: "a good attitude can go to cancer, optimism can go to the disease, quit smoking, limit alcohol, less trouble, and open-minded and peaceful."

"The creation of 'Chinese Reader' means a change in my writing career," Su Shuyang said, "in the process of writing, I immersed myself in passion and imagination, making myself feel as if I had entered a time tunnel to experience colorful history, and it was delicious to write; if I lacked passion and imagination for history, I would regard history as a cup of boiled water." "The Chinese Reader" has spent a lot of energy on Su Shuyang, who has read hundreds of books, concisely and concisely condensed five thousand years of Chinese civilization into more than 100,000 words, and almost every time he finished writing a draft, he was seriously ill.

Since 2006, Su Shuyang has been reading more than 200 kinds of literature and classics, watching more than 50 kinds of related video materials, changing his manuscripts three times, and in 2008, when he was 70 years old, he completed the "Tibet Reader". This is a new book he has "read ontology" after "Chinese Reader". The "Tibet Reader" is divided into seven chapters, with a realistic attitude, comprehensively introducing the traceability, development and current situation of Tibet's history, geography, religion, humanities, art and other aspects, providing readers at home and abroad with a model for understanding Tibet and understanding Tibet. At that time, his physical condition was not good, and with a vision of 0.09, he still completed the final revision of the manuscript. Yu Xiaoqun, a veteran publisher, said: "Elder Su not only has the characteristics of a writer but also the characteristics of a scholar; he not only has a profound sense of responsibility for the country and the nation, but is also full of youthful passion." Just like his famous work "Dan Xin Spectrum", Su Shuyang has recorded the progress of the nation and the process of the times with a sincere Dan heart for decades, and his achievements are outstanding and respected.
