In the countryside, there are countless tragedies of life. As individuals, they complete their lives in a hurry, leaving people with nothing more than talk after dinner. But life itself is equal. Good or bad life should have its own annual rings. No one records them, but I remembered these past events at night in a foreign land.

This book is an amphibious artist's literary and artistic journey from east to west. It is not a sentimental travelogue that only carries a personal journey, but a book that is more about observations of different Chinese and foreign cultures and arts. Mr. Wang Chuan has dual identities and perspectives as a writer and a painter. He looks at beauty and ugliness through painting, talks about literature, painting, architecture, sculpture, environment, music, the changes through the ages, the vicissitudes of the world, development and innovation, the differences, pros and cons of Eastern and Western culture and art... His words are full of deep affection and warm humanistic care. The book is accompanied by more than 30 heavy-color paintings that are more representative of the author's style of painting, with both pictures and texts, from which readers can appreciate the beauty of China and foreign countries and gain aesthetic pleasure.
