Mr. Ji Xianlin once said that he was a person who could not get on the stage. Every time there was a conference, he always wanted to find a nook and cranny to hide there so that he could have less contact with others. He also said that he has loved small animals since he was a child. Being with them makes him feel happy, calm, safe and happy. Every flower and leaf, every mountain and river, every object and emotion, every word and line... Mr.'S words are sincere and simple, and all reflect the transparent wisdom of understanding. Simple but not boring, fluent but not slick, solemn but not rigid, elegant but not carved. This book is a selection of his essays, including 35 seasonal classics such as "My Childhood", "Missing My Mother" and "Charm of Lotuses in Qingtang". It talks about growth, life, walking and loneliness. By reading the life fragments presented by him, I hope you can enter his lonely world and gain a more fearless and calm life.

"Innocent Life" is a collection of Ji Xianlin's essays. The book is divided into five parts: it includes five major themes: it is better to be at ease than to be complete, to have mountains and rivers in mind, to love life through mountains and rivers, to see the time clearly without rain or sunshine, and to look down upon it. Throughout his life, Ji Xianlin constantly pondered the meaning and value of life, and practiced an innocent life. Innocence is not childishness, nor stupidity. Innocence is a mature transcendence and a wise choice in facing the world after understanding all the phenomena in the world. It is knowing the world but not being worldly, and it is not going against oneself. Only when you reach this level can you view the world with an open mind and play with the world. Innocence requires perseverance and courage. It is also a good way to find yourself. Real life is not to move toward complexity, but to reach innocence. Being an innocent person does not mean that you have not seen the darkness of the world. It is precisely because you have seen it that you know how good it is to be innocent.

When we were young, we only saw the stars and the sea, yearning for poetry and the distance. We all felt that we were the most unique and transcendent, and we would definitely create an extraordinary life. After countless stumbles, we realize that we are all just ordinary people, ordinary people in the eyes of others. We will get a salary that is neither high nor low, will be sad about love, will face the aging of our parents, and will experience some ups and downs, but most of the time it will be ordinary. This book selects nearly 40 classic essays by famous writers, borrowing the writers' words to take you back to your initial thoughts on life: perceptions of ordinary life, understanding of loneliness and intimacy, reflections on real life... Let us understand the true meaning of ordinary life, take off the baggage, and move forward hard. As Lao Fan next door said: "Life is not easy, and there will always be bumps and tumbles in your life, but what this book conveys to everyone is not the decadence after recognizing the reality, but reconciliation with your ordinary self and actively embracing life. As long as your heart is still hot, you will always be on the road."

--Have countless "exquisite ideas" in your mind, but don't know how to "realize them"? --Want to quickly find tips and tricks for writing, but don't know where to start? --Want to build a personal brand through writing, but the results are mediocre? --Want to increase the number of articles read, but keep running in circles? Zhang Ailing's works have always been best-sellers on the market, and to this day, she and her works often appear on the hot search lists of major websites. She spent her whole life on literary creation, not only writing many masterpieces that will last through the ages, but also gaining great reputation and profits.

There are three volumes in this set, namely Zhang Jiajia's newly revised version of "Let Me Stay by Your Side" in 2020, the 2018 blockbuster new work "There is a Store in the Clouds" and the popular phenomenon-level work "Passing Through Your World". "Let Me Stay by Your Side" is a collection of heart-warming stories written by Zhang Jiajia from the perspective of his adopted dog daughter Maisie. This book is also a special work by Zhang Jiajia. It has been revised for a whole year and has been completely supplemented. It tells the story of Maisie, a golden retriever dog bought in installments. Each of these stories seems to be time and distance, possession and disappearance in Mai Qian's eyes, but it is also a story that Zhang Jiajia tells millions of people, and is a warm gift from dogs to people on earth. Maisie's friends are like friends around us. Maisie's daily life seems to be happening around us at zero distance, and Maisie seems to have always been by our side. "There is a Canteen in the Clouds": Let Liu Shisan accompany you into the spring, summer, autumn and winter of Yunbian Town, and witness every encounter and parting. "Some people are unforgettable and will be forgotten within a few years. Some people will stay with you whether they live or die." Platycodon flowers bloomed all over the town, and dandelions flew higher than the pomegranate trees and floated into the rice sea at the foot of the mountain. In most people's minds, their hometown will later become a point, like an eternal island. Grandma said, what is hometown? Our ancestors are buried here for generations, so it is called hometown. Liu Shisan just looked at the little girl, with ponytail and delicate features, walking towards him like she was in a dream. There is no doubt that Liu Shisan believes that this scene will be remembered for a lifetime. Love must give. Like ordinary young people, Liu Shisan has nothing to offer, only the future that has not yet come. This side of the mountain is Liu Shisan's childhood, and the other side of the mountain is Grandma's sea. The mountain breeze is gentle, like waves swaying under the moonlight, some, some, not, gentle and soft, staying behind time and becoming a story I heard when I was a child. Live for others, but also live for yourself. Hope and sadness are both rays of light. One day, we will meet again. "Passing Through Your World": This is a heartwarming story dedicated to you by Zhang Jiajia. At first, it was widely circulated on the Internet in the name of the "Bedtime Stories" series. Within a few days, it had been forwarded 1,500,000 times and read over 400 million times. It attracted huge sums of money from film investors, who signed the film rights to five of the stories in an instant. Every minute, someone sees themselves in Zhang Jiajia's story. Anyone who has read Bedtime Stories will know that this is a messy book. It's like a friend narrating to you late at night, describing the thousands of mountains and rivers he has traveled through. There are so many chapters, some are warm, some are bright, some are lonely, some are crazy, some are boring, and some are nonsense. When you have insomnia, when you need comfort, when you are waiting for the train, when you are lazy in bed, when you feel sleepy after a meal, you should be able to find a suitable chapter. I hope to write a book that you can keep by your pillow, put on your bookshelf, or give to someone important to you. Passing by your world, just open an article.

Today, the train stations are still crowded with people, cars still compete with buses, and the wind in the subway has been the same all year round for more than 20 years. And I am often asked: Are you still alone? Sometimes I wonder, is a person's condition not very good? But thinking about it again, a person's condition is actually quite good. When you are alone, you don't even need to look at people's faces when you cry. When you laugh, no one will call you crazy. When you fall down, only you have the right to laugh at yourself. A person is by no means isolated in number, but independent in personality. Therefore, even if you are two people at the moment, you should still remain alone. Don't give up the hobbies you had when you were alone, insist on the thinking you had when you were alone, and retain the independence you had when you were alone. If you like it, stay together. If you don't like it, you can just turn around. Being able to agree with another person is the icing on the cake of life; learning not to rely on any relationship is to give yourself timely help. Looking back, it was such a long road and such a long time, with people coming and going, and only myself being with me. One person, then one person.

This is a book about Ningyuan's life and lifestyle, and also a book about the growth of a beauty-loving woman. Ning Yuan was a winner of the "Golden Microphone Award", but the voice in her heart guided her to resign from public office and find the life she longed for. Now she runs the clothing brand "Far Sunroom" and raises three children; she usually reads, writes, listens to music, draws, makes tea, does crafts with friends, loves the people around her, and then rests and enjoys nature... She always wastes time on things she thinks are beautiful, believing that all the tiny details are the essence of life. A good life is nothing more than living according to your heart, following your feelings, doing what you want to do, and loving the people you want to love. Beauty is not about getting what you want, but the process of making choices and persisting in living a beautiful life. I hope you can also find your dreams, live a better life, and take a joyful attitude towards life.
