About This Novel

I don't know since when, although we have abundant material resources, we have fallen into anxiety. We have been using it for many years and kept asking ourselves: Do we have a house and a car? Are you financially free? Then encourage yourself to live an efficient life: busy making money, busy consuming, busy socializing, busy getting promoted, busy doing fitness in between jobs, and busy traveling once you are on vacation... Basking in the sun and stopping to look at a flower on the roadside are considered a waste of time... We dare not take time off, for fear of being left behind by the times, fear of being forgotten, and fear of losing value. We are busy being useful, but after many years we are trapped in the same place by boredom, and find that the people around us are the same. So the whole people laughed at themselves, and they were full of greasy tricks. In an era of widespread anxiety, "idleness" is a state that the world does not often have, and it is also a state of expectation. The book is conceived with the seemingly "useless" attitude of "idleness". Through 38 articles, with the host's unique perspective and delicate writing style, it shows the thoughts of time and separation, life and death in the passage of time. When reading these bits and pieces of records, there will occasionally be something that just touches the reader's secret heartstrings and triggers a new understanding of life. The author uses lazy pictures and words to convey a philosophy of "idleness" life, and creates the joy of life in the small poetry and interest of daily life. In today's busy and chaotic social environment, "idleness" is rare. In addition to inspiring and struggling, it is also a kind of enjoyment to read some of the author's idle words. Gao Tide once said in "You Mengying", "When you are free, you can read, when you are free, you can visit famous places, when you are free, you can make good friends, when you are free, you can drink, and when you are free, you can write books. Which happiness in the world is greater than this?" Let yourself be "leisure", do less useful things, and do more interesting things, which is precisely to nourish and enrich the soul. --This may provide a path of self-healing for people in this era of widespread anxiety.
