在當代散文創作日趨私人化、碎片化的語境下，王力的散文隨筆集《凡人悟道》猶如一泓清泉，以其獨特的思想深度與生命智慧，在世俗生活的褶皺里開鑿出精神的泉眼。這位從秦嶺北麓走出的鐵路建設者，用四十余載職場淬鍊的哲思，將管理學中的系統思維、政工工作中的群眾智慧，熔鑄成一把把打開生命迷宮的鑰匙。他的文字不是書齋里的冥想，而是腳手架上的頓悟，是鐵軌延伸處的生命真諦。

Wang Li's "Mortal Enlightenment" is unique with its unique perspective and simple writing. This collection of prose essays is not only the precipitation of the author's life experience, but also the crystallization of philosophical reflections on ordinary life, opening a door to the true meaning of life for readers. Wang Li's rich life experience has provided a broad and deep material soil for the creation of "Mortal Enlightenment". As a senior political engineer, he has worked in many important positions in the railway system, not only won many honors, but also actively participated in important work such as poverty alleviation. These experiences not only made him deeply appreciate the diversity of society, but also made him think more deeply about human nature and the value of life. In his spare time, Wang Li solves his troubles through reading, and this love of knowledge and the pursuit of inner peace are naturally integrated into his works.

After reading the book "Mortal Enlightenment", the author has the following feelings on the whole:

See the big from the small, and refine the wisdom of life from ordinary life. One of the biggest features of "Mortal Enlightenment" is that the author is good at digging deep life philosophies from the subtleties of daily life. For example, in the article "Learning to Compare", the author leads to deep thinking about comparison by recording the life perception of an old woman. In the process of taking care of her sick wife, the old woman realized the true meaning of happiness through comparison with other couples, and this ordinary and true story made readers deeply feel the wisdom of life that "will be compared to happiness, not compared to pain". At the same time, the author also cites the example of the Kingfisher to simulate the behavior of animals and the psychology of human comparison, vividly revealing the harm of blind comparison. This kind of writing technique of starting from the details of life and seeing the big from the small makes the article not only have the breath of life, but also rich in philosophical depth, so that readers can have a strong resonance in the reading process.

Logical rigor, progressive philosophical explanation. In prose writing, how to clearly convey abstract philosophies to readers is an important issue. Wang Li has shown great ability in this regard, and he is good at using rigorous logical structures to elaborate his ideas layer by layer. Taking the article "A Reason for Persistence" as an example, the article begins with the core idea of "finding a reason for persistence", and then analyzes the relationship between persistence and reason, and cites multiple examples such as teachers educating students and enterprises creating a cultural atmosphere, and deeply demonstrates the importance of reason to persistence. Finally, the author further points out that likes, hobbies, beliefs, etc., are all reasons to stick to it, providing readers with a concrete guide to action. This logically rigorous way of writing makes the point of view of the article clearer, the argument more powerful, and makes it easier for readers to understand and accept the author's thoughts.

The integration of traditional culture and modern thought. In "Mortal Enlightenment", Wang Li skillfully combines traditional culture with modern thought, so that the article has both profound cultural heritage and the atmosphere of the times. In the article "Degree, That is Just the Right Degree", the author not only quotes the sentences in classic works such as "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Tao Te Ching" to explain the philosophical connotation of "degree", but also vividly illustrates the importance of mastering the principle of moderation in combination with life examples such as boiling water and weighing scales. This fusion of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign ideas not only shows the author's profound cultural literacy, but also provides readers with multiple perspectives for thinking.

Sincere emotion, love and thinking about life. In his prose creation, Wang Li has always maintained his love and thinking for life, and this sincere emotion runs through every article. In articles such as "Strive to Be an Enlightened Person" and "Don't Pay Too Much Attention to What Other People Say", the author conveys a positive and optimistic attitude towards life by sharing his own life experiences and insights. He tells readers to learn to let go of their worries, face the unsatisfactory in life with a peaceful mind, and strive to pursue inner peace and ease. This sincere expression of emotion makes readers feel the author's sincerity and warmth during the reading process, thus triggering reflection on their own lives.

Wang Li's "Mortal Enlightenment" has injected new vitality into contemporary prose creation with its unique perspective, profound thinking, rigorous logic and sincere emotion. This collection of essays is not only the crystallization of the author's personal thoughts, but also a spiritual gift to the majority of readers. It guides readers to explore the meaning of life in ordinary life, and learns to face the challenges of life with wisdom and optimism, which has high literary value and practical significance. Looking back at the forefront of contemporary prose creation, the value of "Mortal Enlightenment" lies not only in its depth of thought, but also in the thrilling leap from "workplace wisdom" to "philosophy of life". Wang Li used the rigor of the railway builders, the wisdom of the political cadres, and the sensitivity of literature lovers to build a spiritual temple in the mundane world. When readers follow his words through the mystle of life and death, gain and loss, and finally arrive at the other side of philosophy, but also the poetic habitat of every modern person. This kind of writing posture that is both down-to-earth and looking up at the starry sky may be an important way for contemporary prose to break through itself and reconstruct value.
