Spend Your Time on the Fine Things 把生命浪费在美好的事物上

by Wu Xiaobo

Spend Your Time on the Fine Things, Wu Xiaobo's first collection of prose, contains his over 60 prose works. Different from the other works which are rational and objective, there is his deep father love, past stories with his old friends, his views on the worldly affairs as an intellectual and sharp description of his tens of years of throwing himself into the business world in his prose. Time has its taste and years have their sounds, too. Every piece of his prose is the sincerest expression. 吴晓波的第一本散文集《把生命浪费在美好的事物上》,收录其近年散文作品60余篇,不同于商业作品的理性客观,散文中有他为人父的舐犊情深,有与故人相交的依稀往事,有身为知识分子的冷眼世情,有浸淫商业世界几十载的犀利勾画。时光有味,岁月留声,每一篇都是最诚挚的表达。

一个大度的父亲，一个成熟的中年人的思考。

吴晓波对中国商业的观察总结很好。这本书是杂文集，只有下半部是商业相关的。上半部什么都有，社会、人生、哲学。他读的书看了很多，写的东西浮躁的很少。

Wu Xiaobo is one my favorite business columnists in China. He has written many books in China's economic revolution and influential business cases over the years. This book is a collection of his prose and unveiled his thoughts on many fronts and how his personality changed over the past decades. It's
private, but it is representative of the post 70s generation in terms of what they went through and what they aspired to do in China's fast-changing environment.
