Find the Missing Place

Although we obviously live in an environment with higher population density, cities do not allow us to gain enough intimacy and warmth. Why does "nearby" disappear? Is it still possible for us to get "nearby" back? In today's society, people don't have the desire or ability to immerse themselves in the world around them and form a narrative. We are used to transcending everything to criticize the problems in the entire system, but we forget to look back at the world around us after transcending. The communities we live in are becoming something we want to leave behind. So everyone complains that there is no human touch, no sense of belonging, and no feeling of home in the city. But when we return home, we still repeat the same life pattern: stay at home and connect with the world through the virtual Internet. Recovering the "nearby" may be to recover this concrete feeling of being alive! This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
