This is a documentary about how city people create life in the mountains. The author "Happy Farm Woman" and her husband built their own "Return Garden Residence" in two mountain residences in 2006 and 2014, respectively, and recorded all their experiences in words and photos. This is the individual experience of modern urban residents' pastoral life, and it also echoes the Chinese ideal of living in the mountains. The works are honest and simple, revealing the beauty of nature and labor, and embodying the philosophy of life and the aesthetics of the times beyond utilitarianism. The nourishment of the land, the joy of labor, the experience of life, and the course of life are all found in a mountain life full of love and beauty.
Reader comments
This book truly records the author's life in the mountains and makes me feel the beauty of nature and labor. The author shares her experience and insights through words and photos, which is very sincere. Moreover, her experience of creating a "return to the countryside" with her husband also allowed me to see their love for life. This book not only shows a beautiful pastoral life, but also conveys a philosophy of life, which is worth reading.
The writing is actually quite average.
But the life described is rarely encountered by urbanites.
It is mixed with some knowledge points and life experiences, which is very interesting.
This is not an ordinary farm life, it is a mountaintop villa.
A paradise like this requires an economic foundation.
The author uses calm and straightforward narration to show the garden life full of small blessings, which makes people immersed in it. They are infected by happiness and learn a lot of planting knowledge!
