In her new book, Be Brave to Live Fully,  young Chinese writer Li Mengji shares her thoughts on being a brave person who is satisfied with herself, enjoys the world with courage and bids goodbye to “emotional internal friction.”   

Released on Sunday by New World Press, the book Be Brave to Live Fully is the young writer’s fifth work.  

In the new book, she tells real stories of herself and friends, directly facing painful experiences and sharing her personal growth insights. She expresses her attitude when facing various challenges and conflicts such as family, marriage, careers and communication. “Don't look back,” “Don't escape,” “Get involved,” and “Don’t hesitate,” were her answers.

Sun Xiaomin, director of the Literary and Art Editorial Department of New World Press and also the editor of the book, said, "This book expresses everyone's feelings in ordinary language. Thank you for letting me become a brave person as well.”

Li rose to fame with her literature romances about 15 celebrities in literary history.
