I live in a dynasty where people are divided into four levels, but fortunately, I am among the highest level group of people, but there are also people with higher status than me, such as those hereditary officials who have hereditary power and fiefdom. I am the same as them, except that my hereditary power and fiefdom are not as big as theirs. Now I have greater ambitions. This feeling may disappear in the future, but it is definitely not now.

"Life is a process of constant loss, right?" She used a questioning tone, but she didn't seem to need anyone to give her an answer. Under the autumn moonlight, she thought of many things. Everything she had experienced, a childhood of abject poverty, a violent youth, a broken first love, a life of being wasted, deceived and humiliated, in the past she could only see these in her eyes, and only remember these in her heart. Destiny gave her ten boxes, and when she opened the first few boxes, they were all empty - she had been angry about them and could not let go of them for a long time. And now, she was about to take one down.

In this world, many things do not require a reason, such as the color of the sky, the temperature of the wind, and your smile. For example, if you fall in love with someone, this person also loves you. What is recorded in this book is not just a period of time, some warm words and some pictures that were originally played by oneself, but they are just the encounter you have been waiting for for a long time. It tells a story about growth and loneliness, love and search. The warm and dreamy light and shadow weave the lonely planet that lives in everyone's heart, leading us to re-recognize ourselves and awaken dormant courage. On this small planet, we have temporarily lost contact with the real world. It is like there is still a child living in our hearts - a young tea boy who always wears a safety helmet. His hesitation, loneliness, and helplessness are a period of time that each of us will experience: eating alone, going to the supermarket alone, walking in the park alone, watching movies alone, facing all the difficulties in life alone. No one shares the loneliness and pain, and no one listens to the voice in the heart. However, it is these lonely days of growing up that make us braver, stronger, and trustworthy. When you are unhappy, when you can't fall asleep late at night, when you have lost the direction of the future, just open a page in the book and enter the lost island full of magnificent wonders: there, the traffic lights without green lights shine confidently in the middle of the city. It likes that it is a unique existence; the short-necked giraffe ate the leaves sent by a good friend, and found that there was no one left. It turned out that having a long neck can be very happy; the elephant with a short trunk danced in the center of the fountain, without the restraint of the long trunk, it danced lightly and happily; the sad little girl Amu with long hair found the golden scissors left by her mother, showing a long-lost smile... No one's life is perfect, learning to accept one's own imperfections and the impermanence of life will be a lifelong subject for us.

The background of "I've also been wandering for a long time" is loneliness. It's the big world, a small person, some small things. It is not a story, nor is it literary, it is just an honest chapter written by a timid, cowardly girl, full of growing sorrow and paranoia about love, after she passed through that stage of her youth intensely.

Canoe's blockbuster new book says that in this life, one can only find his true self by going through the torrential rains of life. There are one or two things in everyone's life that even though they know that they are likely to mess up or fail, they still do it. In the story of Zug, there seems to be rain all the time. Whether it is her love with Su Chi, friendship with Sang Tian and Xiaoci, or her own work and career. The impulsive and naked words made Zug completely consumed by the emotions of failure, self-denial, and sense of emptiness. Only then did he realize that what he had lost was not only his job, but also a habitual life. After experiencing the heavy blow of life, the death of his friend, and the flinching of love, Zug finally realized that failure is a reality rather than a feeling. It is something that he desperately wants to avoid, and just wants to hide in the dark night, but is unable to prevent the arrival of every dawn. When I was a child, I thought life was about walking on a song, but later I realized that what I was walking on were actually sharp knives and blades. But we keep moving forward, through the rainstorm, because in the intervening time between one puzzle and the next, we call it life. In this life, people will eventually go through heavy rains and be with themselves.

If there are ten thousand people in the world who like you, I will be one of the ten thousand; if there is only one person in the world who likes you, I will be the one hundred percent; if there is no one in the world who loves you, then I am dead. I loved you sincerely and innocently. Years later when I think about all this, I still find that this is the most comforting thing in my life.

The leading figure in post-80s literature and best-selling author Dukou Jiibei is a 2020 masterpiece that has been released for five years. There is always a night in your life that belongs only to you. The queen of golden sentences forwarded by tens of millions of people, a more mature writing test five years later. Love, ideals, and life are given to you who don't know where to go at this time. What would you say are the most important things in life?

Under the intense pain of loss, they gradually become friends who can show each other's wounds.

The classic essay collection "Ten Thousand People Are Like the Sea, One Body Is Hidden" by the million-selling author Canoe is reprinted. Walking outward awkwardly and sincerely, looking inward softly and profoundly, the canoe interweaves travel and life stories, allowing us to understand: the road we have traveled, the people we have loved, the pain we have experienced, the background of our hometown, and the days and nights we have spent are all enough to explain why we have become the person we are now. After confirming that he was going to undergo a second surgery, Canoe remembered the poem "Only the royal city is the most hidden, and thousands of people are like a sea, hiding in one body" in the surging crowds of the subway. A journey about "going out" and "looking inward" has quietly begun. Going outward, it is the canoe that actively sets out to the world with enthusiasm and imagination. In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, it still stubbornly goes to the market after being robbed; on the ice and snow wasteland of Lake Baikal, it carries the failed warm baby against the cold wind of minus 7 degrees Celsius; strolling in London, casually walking into a jazz club and watching strangers singing and dancing, traveling through the Hill of Freedom In the Gusang Temple, I understood the concern hidden in my mother's "You can do it yourself"; and under the starry sky of the Sahara, listening to the Berber people playing the birthday song on the tambourine... In the current era when this guide list has turned travel into a standard answer, Internet celebrity check-ins have flooded the era of personal experience, and these clumsy and sincere experiences of canoeing all hide subtle personal touches. Looking inward is her reconciliation with herself, her hometown, and her loved ones in the abyss. The book contains the fragility that Canoe refuses to express easily, the grievances he felt in high-rise buildings and among the crowds before the operation, the courage to lie on the operating table twice, the epiphany of understanding that "our parents are the mountains between us and death" in the hospital corridor, and the regret of losing the key to our hometown. , The humid smell that can be smelled every time I return to Hunan, and the reconciliation with my mother that spans half a lifetime - those words that once hurt each other, those concerns in silence, those instructions "You must eat first even if the sky falls", eventually turned into a quiet look at each other by the open-air hot spring. The six years since it was republished have given this book an extra layer of time: when it was first published, it was just an ordinary trip, but now it has become a regret that can never be repeated after the epidemic; when she wrote about the teenage travel, she wrote about it, and now it has become a sobriety that only comes once or twice in many opportunities in life. There is also the sister who took "I Have Wandered for a Long Time" abroad when she graduated from elementary school and later translated "Ten Thousand People Are Like the Sea, One Is Hidden", which further proves the power of her words to cross mountains and seas - although the works are gradually separated from the author like shedding their skin, they can become a secret connection between strangers. Going outward is to see the vastness of the world; going inward is to explore the depth of life. Canoes interweave travel and life, allowing us to understand that the roads we have traveled, the people we have loved, the pain we have experienced, the background of our hometown, and the days and nights we have spent are all enough to explain why we are who we are now.

After five years, Gu Chen once again returned to that city full of sad memories.
