About This Novel

The classic essay collection "Ten Thousand People Are Like the Sea, One Body Is Hidden" by the million-selling author Canoe is reprinted. Walking outward awkwardly and sincerely, looking inward softly and profoundly, the canoe interweaves travel and life stories, allowing us to understand: the road we have traveled, the people we have loved, the pain we have experienced, the background of our hometown, and the days and nights we have spent are all enough to explain why we have become the person we are now. After confirming that he was going to undergo a second surgery, Canoe remembered the poem "Only the royal city is the most hidden, and thousands of people are like a sea, hiding in one body" in the surging crowds of the subway. A journey about "going out" and "looking inward" has quietly begun. Going outward, it is the canoe that actively sets out to the world with enthusiasm and imagination. In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, it still stubbornly goes to the market after being robbed; on the ice and snow wasteland of Lake Baikal, it carries the failed warm baby against the cold wind of minus 7 degrees Celsius; strolling in London, casually walking into a jazz club and watching strangers singing and dancing, traveling through the Hill of Freedom In the Gusang Temple, I understood the concern hidden in my mother's "You can do it yourself"; and under the starry sky of the Sahara, listening to the Berber people playing the birthday song on the tambourine... In the current era when this guide list has turned travel into a standard answer, Internet celebrity check-ins have flooded the era of personal experience, and these clumsy and sincere experiences of canoeing all hide subtle personal touches. Looking inward is her reconciliation with herself, her hometown, and her loved ones in the abyss. The book contains the fragility that Canoe refuses to express easily, the grievances he felt in high-rise buildings and among the crowds before the operation, the courage to lie on the operating table twice, the epiphany of understanding that "our parents are the mountains between us and death" in the hospital corridor, and the regret of losing the key to our hometown. , The humid smell that can be smelled every time I return to Hunan, and the reconciliation with my mother that spans half a lifetime - those words that once hurt each other, those concerns in silence, those instructions "You must eat first even if the sky falls", eventually turned into a quiet look at each other by the open-air hot spring. The six years since it was republished have given this book an extra layer of time: when it was first published, it was just an ordinary trip, but now it has become a regret that can never be repeated after the epidemic; when she wrote about the teenage travel, she wrote about it, and now it has become a sobriety that only comes once or twice in many opportunities in life. There is also the sister who took "I Have Wandered for a Long Time" abroad when she graduated from elementary school and later translated "Ten Thousand People Are Like the Sea, One Is Hidden", which further proves the power of her words to cross mountains and seas - although the works are gradually separated from the author like shedding their skin, they can become a secret connection between strangers. Going outward is to see the vastness of the world; going inward is to explore the depth of life. Canoes interweave travel and life, allowing us to understand that the roads we have traveled, the people we have loved, the pain we have experienced, the background of our hometown, and the days and nights we have spent are all enough to explain why we are who we are now.
