"Londoners are just the normal people you see."
Like us, they seek and lose in big cities, pray and are confused in big cities, gain rewards in big cities, and are hurt by big cities.
Writer Craig Taylor spent 5 years, day and night, traveling to every corner of London, selecting 85 ordinary people from more than 200 interviews. Among them are currency traders who have realized their professional ideals, lost and found office staff who are accustomed to all kinds of things in the world, plumbers who have been actors, as well as sanitation workers, taxi drivers, emergency paramedics, real estate agents, chefs, pilots, etc. These true stories of ordinary people, a mixture of sorrow and joy, constitute the ukiyo-e of all living beings in the city of London. Every word touches our hearts and resonates with us.
"When a person is tired of London, he is definitely tired of life." However, only those who have lived in a big city will understand the complexity of it: love it, hate it, long for it, be tired of it, escape from it, or stay and continue living.
