Reader comments
Ji Yun tells us a lot of truth through these stories, and his writing is concise and easy to read. For example, he said, "As big as governing a country and bringing peace to the world, as small as one thing, one thing, one movement, one word, it's all insignificant." This sentence made me understand that Tao is everywhere, and I need to experience it from the small things around me. This book not only has literary value, but also allowed me to understand the social life at that time.
Ji Xiaolan's story is very exciting.
Good book recommendations.
