At the age of 27, Tsai Chunda became the youngest man who took the Directorate position of GQ China. And 5 years later, the large fashion brand Magmode founded. “Out of the skin” illuminates the path of the formation of personality from scratch to the peaks.
Tsai’s childhood passed in a rural fishing village in Fujiang Province. After the father was partially paralyzed by a stroke, the Tsai took on the role of the head of the family and worked for wear with his mother and older sister in order to preserve the pride of the family and pay for medical bills. Tsai sister could not find her husband, since the family could not pay her dowry. Tsai learned at the university and moved to Beijing, eventually becoming the GQ China reporting director.
Like a “glass castle” and “student”, “out of the skin” does not romantic and does not condemn people and circumstances that formed the life of a young man, and instead offers a way forward, showing how traditions can enrich modern life. It is also the story of the family and the history of the generation of the Chinese, the story of the importance of the most dear to each other, the search for their place in the world and, most importantly, is the history of thoughts and feelings that are understandable to a person of any country.
Since the release in 2014 and to date, “from leather” is non-fiction-Bestseller No. 1 in China. The book was included in the school and university program. The rights to film adaptation in 2019 went to the Hong Kong star Andy Lau (“House of Flying Daggers”) In total, more than 4,000,000 copies of the book were sold.
From the author
Knowing the heart, you recognize a person
- If the body rotates, what will remain?
- the soul will remain.
- Really? Do people have a soul?
- There is.
- You are just like Xiang Lin*. Fine, fine. I believe you.
What happens to the souls that left the body? They go down to the underworld, climb paradise or wander around the light? When I read the compositions of the ancients, it always seemed to me that hungry homeless spirits dream of becoming people again, getting a bodily shell again - the same leather bag.
After all, he, a leather bag, gives us warmth, happiness and pleasure. And at the same time, due to the fragility of this shell, we experience shame and pain.
And the point is not that during life we do not have enough time to take care of parents, how they deserve it. How terrible that all people are doomed to suffering, loneliness and helplessness. The son will not help his father. Everything is in vain. It seems that the cruel law of the leather bag does not promise anything - neither a miracle nor hope.
That"s so. But only a leather bag, no matter how much it is, has a heart.
Human life can be likened to a trip with a leather bag behind your shoulders, a bag, inside of which lies the heart.
The heart often sleeps, but sometimes it wakes up when this happens, it illuminates the bag from the inside.
When a lot of such “flashlights” light up in the dark, people see and recognize each other.
“out of the skin” is a book that, having learned the heart, you recognize a person.
Xiang Lin is the main heroine of the story Lu Sinya Praying about happiness.
