Forget get-rich-quick hype—The Road to Wealth Freedom by Li Xiaolai offers a no-nonsense, actionable framework to build lasting financial independence rooted in mindset and intentional choices. It redefines wealth freedom not as a finish line, but as the ability to stop selling your time for basic needs. You’ll learn to avoid three silent time drains: mindlessly following trends, obsessing over others’ lives, and wasting energy on trivial drama. The book breaks down core principles like prioritizing growth over salary, managing your attention (your most valuable asset), and reframing paid services as investments in your time. It demystifies investing too, teaching you to focus on long-term value, use dollar-cost averaging, and start small with virtual practice. Plus, it outlines three personal business models to scale your income: selling time once, selling the same time repeatedly (like content creation), and buying others’ time to create more value. Packed with real-world examples, this guide is about taking control of your life and growing into the person who can sustain true freedom.

As a co-founder of Wantong Group, Feng Lun pulls back the curtain on the wild, unregulated rise of China’s private sector since reform and opening up. In *Savage Growth*, he shares hard-won lessons from navigating crisis—from the heated "original sin" debate over early private enterprise legitimacy to the messy, necessary evolution of partner dynamics (like his own split with Pan Shiyi). He breaks down the tricky dance of government-business relations, contrasts successful leaders like Wang Shi (who prioritized systems over personal gain) with cautionary tales like Mu Zhongzhong, and dives into investment wisdom, corporate governance, and even life’s big questions: balancing desire and happiness, facing mortality, and building businesses that outlast their founders. Packed with real-world anecdotes and sharp insights, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to understand China’s business landscape or build resilient, ethical enterprises.
