The goddess of literature and art wishes Xiaotu to explore the UK and carefully collect the scenery along the way, the tenderness of strangers, and the unexpected surprises. This is a journey away from home, but it is a return journey into one's own heart. Zhu Xiaotu uses her words and life experience to tell us that a "good" and exquisite life is not filled with expensive items every day, but a full and enthusiastic attitude in daily life, loving others with a clean heart, reading seemingly useless books, eating snacks that are not full, admiring the scenery without delusions, and not creating unnecessary troubles. Give meaning to the things that we think are important, make small things great, and life can become romantic and rich. In this book, each city has its own flavor and business card. The seemingly casual ancient buildings have a historical and cultural background that goes back through the ages in her writing. This seemingly "wasted" time and these experiences abroad are actually a journey back to the heart.

Time flows away without compromise, but it cannot take away memories and us. You can refuse many things, but you cannot refuse to forget. Therefore, those encounters that were stolen from time and those people who never left the scene remain in this book. In the end, we keep saying goodbye and occasionally remembering each other. A single apartment, keep a bold self; a touch of red lips, stubborn and never grow old to wait for someone; a piece of plain porridge, let the days return to simplicity and sincerity... The elegance of women and the beauty of life are not achieved overnight, but some courage can climb mountains and ridges, and warmth is always within reach. What you encounter while growing up always becomes a part of yourself inadvertently. As time passes, we will never be separated.
