Summary
This is not a collection of personal reflections, nor an anthology of Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist aphorisms, nor a compendium of wisdom from sages East and West, nor a moralizing success manual. It is a coordinate system for the information field of life energy—a set of values and a worldview concerning life in time and space. It is a roadmap for answering "Where do I come from, and where am I going?", a compass for exploring the patterns of individuals, organizations, and society, a magnifying glass for analyzing human nature, emotion, and the roots of good and evil, a torch to light the way through the mists of the mind, a ferry carrying life from this shore to the far shore, and a strategy manual for cultivating body and soul. Enter this book and leave it, and you will gain a free and whole "I".
Editor's review
From the opening pages, I Speak draws a clear line: it is not a summary of personal reflections, not an anthology of aphorisms, not a compendium of thought, and not a success-doctrine sermon. The author, Li Mingkai, positions the book as a "coordinate system for the information field of life energy," attempting to discuss the values and worldview of life in time and space through coordinates and paths, and to answer the question "Where do I come from, and where am I going?" The book likens the exploration of the patterns of individuals, organizations, and society to a compass, the analysis of human nature, emotion, and the roots of good and evil to a magnifying glass, and uses images such as the ferry and the torch to emphasize its intent to illuminate the mists of the mind. This approach makes the book closer to a framework for self-positioning and sorting out values than to scattered inspirational comfort. Its reading value lies in offering a coordinate language for comparison that helps readers reexamine their own circumstances and choices. It suits readers willing to read slowly and reflect against their own experience as they go; those expecting light stories or quick methods may find it hard to enter.
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Reflective readers who want to systematically sort out their own values and life direction
- Readers with a sustained interest in questions of life's meaning and the roots of good and evil
- Readers willing to read slowly and take notes against their own experience
- Readers interested in the relationship between individuals and social patterns who like framework-based thinking
Not a good fit for
- Readers expecting light stories or recreational reading
- Readers hoping for quick methods or concrete step-by-step procedures
- Readers who prefer rigorous academic argumentation and documentary support
Reading tips
- Read the opening explanation of the book's positioning first, to make clear that it is a coordinate framework rather than a collection of reflections, before entering the main text.
- Prepare a notebook and, when you encounter concepts such as coordinates and paths, record your own corresponding circumstances for later comparison.
- Do not try to finish it in one sitting; read it slowly chapter by chapter and leave time to digest and reflect after each part.
- When reading the sections analyzing human nature and good and evil, verify them with examples from your own experience rather than understanding them only in the abstract.

FAQ
Is this book inspirational comfort or success literature?
According to the material, the author explicitly states that it is not a summary of personal reflections, an anthology of aphorisms, a compendium of thought, or a moralizing success manual, but a coordinate system for the information field of life energy that discusses the values and worldview of life in time and space. It should be read as a framework for self-positioning and sorting out values, not as a quick method.
How should the "coordinate system for the information field of life energy" be understood?
The material describes it as the values and worldview of life in time and space, a roadmap for answering "Where do I come from, and where am I going?", and a compass for exploring the patterns of individuals, organizations, and society. It can be understood as a thinking framework that helps readers locate their own circumstances and sort out their value orientations; its specific meaning needs to be grasped gradually through reading.
What background is needed to read this book?
No professional background is required, but it is better suited to readers willing to read slowly and reflect as they go. The book touches on issues such as human nature, emotion, and the roots of good and evil; if you have usually thought about questions of life's meaning and value, it will be easier to enter; if you seek only light diversion, you may find it abstract.
How should one read it to gain something?
It is suggested to read the opening positioning explanation first, then read slowly chapter by chapter, and keep notes on the parts that correspond to your own circumstances. When reading about patterns and analysis of human nature, verify them against concrete experience, and after finishing, review your notes to form your own coordinate sorting; this is more effective than reading it through in one go.

About the author
李明凯
Author
Li Mingkai: currently, publicly available information is limited, and it is known only that one work by this author, Wo Shuo (I Say), is extant, commonly classified under Eastern philosophy. From this single work and classificatory clue alone, it is difficult to sketch a complete life, identity, or the full range of the author's writing; nationality, dates of birth and death, and an English name are not clearly recorded. Judging from the title Wo Shuo, the work has the character of first-person direct address, almost like a monologue, and may present personal views on life, the world, or principles in an individual voice, echoing the introspective and experiential expression common in Eastern philosophy. Its specific content, genre, and intellectual lines still await the reader's close examination in the book itself. Given the scarcity of materials, rather than filling in biographical details, it is better to return attention to the text: this work is the main entry point for understanding Li Mingkai's writing, and it offers a sample for readers interested in Eastern philosophical essays to examine.
