Reader comments
Life is a journey of precipitation, transformation and awakening in constant experience. We grow up in stumbles, break through in confusion, and slowly find our true selves in the hustle and bustle. The author uses himself as the pen and the years as the paper, and sincerely tells a story of his own growth path. The words are full of truth and power. Even after the changes in the world and the ups and downs of human relationships, we still stick to our original intentions and bottom line. This clarity and determination are particularly rare.
This is a book worth calming down and reading carefully. The lines are full of real life qualities, which can easily resonate with people. After reading it, I couldn't help but sigh. I would have been able to deal with it calmly and make appropriate decisions like the author. We are all ordinary people being carried forward by the tide of the times. The comings and goings, gatherings and separations are all inevitable causes and effects in the years, and everything has its own arrangement.
The writing is simple but powerful. It contains both insights into growth and a clear understanding of life. It is a good book that can be read with attitude and is worth recommending!
