Innocent Life
by Ji Xianlin
About This Novel
"Innocent Life" is a collection of Ji Xianlin's essays. The book is divided into five parts: it includes five major themes: it is better to be at ease than to be complete, to have mountains and rivers in mind, to love life through mountains and rivers, to see the time clearly without rain or sunshine, and to look down upon it. Throughout his life, Ji Xianlin constantly pondered the meaning and value of life, and practiced an innocent life. Innocence is not childishness, nor stupidity. Innocence is a mature transcendence and a wise choice in facing the world after understanding all the phenomena in the world. It is knowing the world but not being worldly, and it is not going against oneself. Only when you reach this level can you view the world with an open mind and play with the world. Innocence requires perseverance and courage. It is also a good way to find yourself. Real life is not to move toward complexity, but to reach innocence. Being an innocent person does not mean that you have not seen the darkness of the world. It is precisely because you have seen it that you know how good it is to be innocent.
