This is a collection of essays about life cultivation. She observes the world with a perspective that is different from the everyday world. When you follow the author's perspective, you will find that your mind is broadened. Sometimes, we always want to fast forward time to see if the final result is worth it, but we don't have the patience to appreciate the life that we are born to enjoy. In this book, the author chooses to forget himself and observe the world with detachment. Pigeons, postcards, toys, the female painter of the 17th century could all be her. The portrait of her makes us lament the different ups and downs of life, contrast the ecstasy when we are frustrated and triumphant, and shake off the worry about gains and losses that constrains us. People sometimes stay away from the established track in order to better find themselves. Our daily actions are mostly driven by expectations rather than unpretentious sincerity. When we lack authenticity in life, we become weak and fall prey to our own and others' expectations. Enter life calmly, keeping your posture upright whether moving forward or backward.
