Travel Slowly

"Slowly Traveling" Twenty-eight-year-old Zhou Du ended his many years of wandering. After returning from Africa, he did not choose to continue traveling or pursue so-called success. Instead, he rented a small house in Chengdu and began to learn to live slowly. Every day I buy groceries, cook, write novels, take walks, and drink tea. I occasionally think of distant places, occasionally talk to my mother on the phone, and occasionally sit in People's Park in a daze for an entire afternoon. There are no legends or miracles in life. Watch flowers bloom in spring, listen to cicadas chirping in summer, smell cinnamon in autumn, and drink a bowl of hot soup in winter. Chengdu did not change the world, but it changed Zhoudu bit by bit. And Zhou Du also learned to get along with life again in a city that was slowing down. This is a story about wandering, return, fireworks and time.
