At one in the morning, in an office building in Shanghai, Lin Ye typed out his resignation letter as his stomach hurt. The next day, he boarded a high-speed train to Hangzhou alone. He hadn't planned a route, bringing only his camera and notebook. In Longjing Village, he happened to meet Su Wan. A spill of paint on her clothes brought together two souls escaping the fast pace of life. They strolled and talked in the drizzle among the Nine Creeks and Misty Trees. On the way back, Lin Ye wrote the first post for his public account: "I Quit My Job, and at 28, I'm Heading Into Spring." He had no idea how this slow journey would reshape his life, nor that the girl behind him would become the gentlest companion on his travels.
