He encounters people and lives of all stripes, and with an insightful and calm brush, he writes about how in such a world, there are still such people, living such lives.\n·\nLiu Zichao broke my prejudice against travelogues. What he recorded was simple and vivid, but beyond that, what interested me more were his thoughts and ideas, because the author's own vision, thought, and even spirit determine the depth and meaning of a journey.\n—Li Jian, Musician\nLiu Zichao's travels are different from those of ordinary tourists. He has a true traveler's perspective, going deep into streets and alleys, interacting with people, inheriting a very excellent tradition of travel literature.\n—Luo Xin, Professor of History at Peking University\nAmong the burgeoning travel writing in the Chinese world, Zichao is a name that cannot be ignored. His curiosity, insight, hesitation, and habitual self-indulgence all exude a special charm.\n—Xu Zhiyuan, Writer, Founder of One Way Space\nWith writers like Liu Zichao, we accelerate our understanding of the world. He makes difficult arrivals time and again, delves deep into local culture and history, and then, through exquisite and apt writing, unveils the mysterious veil of the world, sparking our desire to understand it. After reading Zichao's books, I always hope I can follow his route, and always hope I can write such books myself.\n—Yu Minhong, Founder of New Oriental\nLiu Zichao's work has a concise prose style, as well as a unique sense of humor, curiosity, and adventurous spirit, making it a joy to read.

In Japan, 8 square meters is called \"shizuo\" (four and a half tatami mats), meaning it's a room that's only four and a half tatami mats long and offers low rent.\u003cbr\u003e Because her eight-square-meter room lacked a kitchen, refrigerator, bathroom, or washing machine, she enthusiastically wrote about the daily life of ordinary Japanese people, including their food, clothing, and shelter. Living in a cramped space, she extended her life to the city's streets and public spaces, writing about Tokyo's laundromats, sento baths, coffee shops, 24-hour manga cafes, independent cinemas, and small restaurants. She also wrote about the stories of ordinary Tokyoites she met. These characters are \"invisible, real Tokyoites,\" and their stories reveal the diverse lives of Japanese society and reflect our own. \u003cbr\u003eIn the lonely city, how can one find a place to call home and a sense of purpose? Yoshii Shinobu's \"eight-square-meter economy\" offers a glimpse into the possibilities of a fresh and vibrant life: saving on expensive rent, simplifying material needs, and enjoying a rich spiritual and cultural life in the city. The city can be a mobile home, where a single person can be happy and self-sufficient.\u003cbr\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e 【Specially recommended】\u003cbr\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e In the lonely city, how can one find a place of their own and a purpose for existence? Yoshii Shinobu's \"eight-square-meter economy\" offers a glimpse into the possibilities of a fresh and vibrant life: saving on expensive rent, simplifying material needs, enjoying a rich cultural life in the city, and finding comfort and a sense of belonging in one's own way. The city can be a mobile home, and a person can be happy and self-sufficient. \u003cbr\u003eTokyo used to frequently rank near the top of the \"world's most expensive cities\" list, but this was merely the prejudice of foreign journalists who had only a superficial understanding of the city. I've long harbored this dissatisfaction, believing Tokyo is actually a great place to live, and it's been the driving force behind my numerous articles and books on Tokyo.\u003cbr\u003e Tokyo, Kyoto, Shanghai, Beijing... No matter the city, Yoshii is adept at finding reasonably priced housing. Sometimes her abode is barely big enough for sleeping, but just outside, convenient city amenities are always within reach. Your favorite restaurant becomes your dining room, a coffee shop your living room, a bookstore or library your study, a gym your bathroom with a sauna.\u003cbr\u003e Yoshii understood the secret of this \"urban survival technique\" perfectly: treating the city as an extension of one's own home and using it to their advantage. It's like an animal instinctively finding the most comfortable place to nest, and then, when the time comes, simply leaving the nest and flying away.\u003cbr\u003e —Kyouichi Tsuzuki (independent editor and photographer)\u003cbr\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e 【Editor's Recommendation】\u003cbr\u003e * \u003cbr\u003e★ Living in eight square meters, you own the whole world. Shinobu Yoshii's \"Eight Square Meters\" economics shows another possibility for urban life. This new collection of essays by Japanese-Chinese writer Shinobu Yoshii is dedicated to those who are about to create a new life. -- Twenty years after leaving Japan, Shinobu Yoshii returned to Tokyo, rented an eight-square-meter room in the heart of Tokyo, and rebuilt her life there. Eight square meters is the origin of life, and the entire city of Tokyo is an extension of life. The detachment of material and spiritual things brings economic space and physical and mental freedom. Shinobu Yoshii's \"Eight Square Meters\" economics provides another possibility for life for every modern person who is exhausted physically and mentally: cherish the present moment, find the comfort and sense of belonging you need in your own way, and give yourself the energy to continue living tomorrow. \u003cbr\u003e★ How can you live comfortably in an eight-square-meter apartment without a kitchen, refrigerator, bathroom, or washing machine? A guide to exploring the new urban \"snail dwelling\" lifestyle in Tokyo. The city can be a mobile home, and a single person can be happy and self-sufficient. Because eight square meters is so cramped, daily life extends to Tokyo's streets and public spaces: laundromats, sento (hot springs), manga cafes, small restaurants, and coffee shops. There are also weekly trips to independent cinemas, rakugo (rakugo) theater, shamisen lessons, and exhibitions. Convenient and comfortable public spaces, a vibrant multicultural environment, and the energy of urban life—your \"small\" living space isn't a problem, because the world outside is vast. \u003cbr\u003e★ Everyone has their own \"eight square meters.\" Delve into the details of the city and visit the \"neighborhood,\" telling the stories of Tokyo's ordinary people and seeing the real ordinary people. In a lonely city, how do people find their own place and the meaning of existence? — In the bustling city, occasional encounters bring back gem-like memories: Mr. Osawa, the owner of Jinxingtang Café, known as the \"walking dictionary\"; the sharp and humorous hostess of Mako Café, who is almost ninety years old; the warm, kind and hardworking female owner of a soba noodle shop... The simple and sincere people of Tokyo and the flowing and timeless Tokyo scenery reveal the true face of life. \"I believe that everyone has their own eight square meters and their own definition of it. It refers not to the actual area, but to a place in the heart. While eight square meters may seem out of place to others, it allows you to live in your own world. It may be a place or a person where you don't have to pretend, you can face yourself and enjoy the present moment as much as possible.\" \u003cbr\u003eDesigned by renowned book cover designer Lu Zhichang, the book boasts a fresh, elegant design with a comfortable feel, cleverly echoing the \"four and a half tatami mats\" layout. Photography by renowned photographer Kyoichi Tsuzuki and writer Shinobu Yoshii. Over a hundred color images capture the dynamic landscape of \"eight square meters\" and the city of Tokyo.

In this collection of essays, Sebald reflects on and recounts six of his most cherished authors: writers Johann Peter Hebbel, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Edward Merrick, Gottfried Keller, Robert Walser, and painter Jan Peter Tripp. Most of these individuals, cursed by frail natures and faced with life's injustices, find it impossible to stop writing, even when writing has lost its joy and thinking has become torture.\u003cbr\u003e As a fellow author, Sebald sought solace and inspiration from the experiences of these six individuals, focusing on their strange yet beautiful, painful yet profound details, painting exquisite and eccentric portraits. At the same time, he intertwined his own reflections with the lives of others, attempting to find creative meaning amidst the chaos and absurdity of reality. In this interwoven narrative of biography and self-reflection, readers are offered a glimpse into Sebald's literary roots and inner world.\u003cbr\u003e 【Media\/Celebrity Recommendation】 \u003cbr\u003eCautious, solemn, and biting...

He is one of the most elusive writers... These essays are well worth reading.\u003cbr\u003e —Library Journal\u003cbr\u003e 【Editor's Recommendation】\u003cbr\u003e Out of a desire for favor and homage, Sebald dedicated this book to six creators. With the exception of Sebald's old friend, the painter Jan Peter Tripp, the other five were fellow writers. For them, writing was an inescapable drudgery, an incurable disease. Yet, their works, moving and penetrating, became the literary companions Sebald always carried in his travels. Like other characters in Sebald's works, these writers were lonely and tormented, and like Sebald himself, trapped by the brutality of history and the darkness of memory. \"There was no other way for me to resist the memories that so often and unexpectedly overwhelmed me except by writing\" (\"The Rings of Saturn\"). \u003cbr\u003eSebald's work is driven by association. He is obsessed with similarities, overlaps, and coincidences, and excels at subtly transforming the stories of artists, marginalized individuals, and neurotics into autobiographies. However, he never dominates or becomes overbearing. Instead, he gazes down upon his doppelgangers, upon the ghosts of history, and upon their gentle failures. Therefore, this book is by no means a simple biography, memoir, or literary criticism, but rather an expansion of Sebald's self. He admires and empathizes with these melancholic, homeless creators, and he transforms this admiration and empathy into profoundly moving works. \u003cbr\u003e\"Dwelling\" refers to both residence and residence, as well as daily activities. The writers featured in this book all resided temporarily in country villas, and their stories embody the romanticism of escaping the city, the spirit of wandering, and the poetry of exile. Reflecting their residences in country villas, their historical context, and their creative activities, Sebald imbues these memories with geographical characteristics, constructing a unique \"literary geography.\" This book continues Sebald's distinctive graphic style, featuring not only black-and-white illustrations selected and assembled by Sebald himself, but also numerous large color inserts to evoke further imagination, interaction, interpretation, and wonder.","brand":"广西师范大学出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242005614831,"sku":"9787559865342","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1WpiYcGu7otjwKG2se1xYZxpAlbd_58R9.jpg?v=1738966109"},{"product_id":"午夜降临前抵达-9787549635511","title":"Arrive before midnight","description":"When you can't go out, you need a travel book.\u003cbr\u003e ·\u003cbr\u003e The biggest uncertainty in travel is not arriving, but how to arrive.\u003cbr\u003e After all, travel or life is a process of figuring out how to arrive again and again.\u003cbr\u003e \"Liu Zichao is the most outstanding travel writer of this generation.\" - Xu Zhiyuan \u003cbr\u003e☆ The first work of Liu Zichao, the author of the annual travel literature \"The Lost Satellite\", reshapes the meaning of travel literature and confirms oneself on the road☆ Return to the world of yesterday, find the lost souls, listen to the stories of ordinary people, and record the glory and suffering of the European continent☆ A spiritual journey to escape the burden and find meaning: to reach the richness of the world and the vastness of the heart☆ Won the One-Way Street Literary Award·Young Writer of the Year: refreshed the coordinates and vision of our viewing of today's world☆ Praised by Li Jian, Liang Wendao, Luo Xin, Xu Zhiyuan, and Yu Minhong: the most outstanding travel writer of this generation☆ Bookstore Literature Award·Annual Travel Writing Award, a new postscript is added to reflect on the meaning of travel in the post-epidemic era·\u003cbr\u003e Arriving Before Midnight is the debut work of writer Liu Zichao.\u003cbr\u003e He embarked on a solitary journey, deep into the heart of Europe, embarking on a journey of escape and search.

It once built vast empires, ignited two world wars, and was also divided by the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. \u003cbr\u003eIn the brief summer, a young writer hopped a train and traveled along the endless tracks. Breaking away from the Berlin parade, he set off with three cans of beer, traveling through Dresden and Auschwitz, walking the streets where Kafka became a commodity, and escaping reality in Prague's speakeasy. On long winter nights, the lost traveler fell asleep in a bed at the Grand Budapest Hotel, only to wake up on the streets beside the Danube. He drove to the Hungarian Plain, trapped by rain in the previous day's café, only to witness a world transformed on his final night in Trieste.\u003cbr\u003e Unease and pain, intimacy and comfort, light and shadow—distant Central Europe, like a mirror image, retains its timeless qualities, attracting young minds equally lost. When reality becomes too heavy, when times seem too frivolous, we journey to experience the landscape and the human world, to witness hope and suffering, to understand that \"there are still people living this way in the world,\" and to reaffirm ourselves through repeated departures and arrivals.\u003cbr\u003e · \u003cbr\u003eWhile modern people are accustomed to enjoying the convenience of online information, Liu Zichao insists on physically entering the scene and recreating his journeys through literature.

Time and again, he made arduous journeys, deeply understanding the local culture and history. Then, through exquisite and pertinent writing, he unveiled the world's mysteries and stirred our desire to understand the world. After reading Zichao's books, I always wish I could follow his route and write a book like him. —Yu Minhong, Founder of New Oriental In the burgeoning field of travel writing in the Chinese-speaking world, Liu Zichao is a name that cannot be ignored.

He possesses a true traveler's perspective, delving into the streets and alleys, engaging with people, and carrying on a truly remarkable tradition of travel literature. —Luo Xin, professor of history at Peking University. \"Since The Lost Satellite, I've rediscovered travel literature, or perhaps it's Liu Zichao who has shattered my preconceptions about travel writing.\" His new book, Arriving Before Midnight, remains as captivating as ever. His accounts of what he saw and heard are unpretentious and vivid, but more than that, what interests me most is his reflections, because the author's vision, thoughts, and even heart determine the depth and meaning of travel. Many of the places in the book are places I haven't visited, yet I didn't feel unfamiliar. On the contrary, they felt familiar, as if he were describing places and lives familiar to me—past, present, and even future. A good travelogue can be truly captivating. I believe that even readers who haven't visited the places described in the book will feel a deeper connection to the stories than most who have, because the author's extraordinary sensitivity and unique perspective can better restore the truth of life itself. —Li Jian, singer I used to have a prejudice that travel literature was a genre exclusive to English-language writers, like \"The Sea and Sardinia\" or \"To the Land of the Amu Darya,\" who were more like masters of this world.

Across 8 countries and 23 towns—Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia, and Greece—he once again witnesses the fragmented yet vast expanse of the other side of the world. This is a travelogue of wandering, yet it tells stories of people searching for home. The ghosts of history loom over this Southern European peninsula, as queer individuals and poets, refugees and drug dealers, murderers and victims, believers and merchants all make an appearance. In Slovenia, he stumbles into a poetry salon, witnessing poets' efforts to rebuild their homeland with words in a country so small it's easy to overlook. In a border town in Croatia, he sees the afterglow of a bygone empire, discovering past elegance in an old waiter. In Montenegro, he meets a woman who works as a call-taker for an American pizza chain, surprised by Americans' appetites but unable to taste the pizza herself. He encounters the godfather of e-commerce in Serbia, who embraces the tide of commercialization, seeing a world that is smooth and without resistance. He meets a generation that grew up during the Greek economic crisis, shouting leftist slogans and proudly declaring, \"We are also a Balkan country.\" The Balkans become more than just a geographical concept; it's like an adjective, fraught with complex meanings of pain, struggle, exploration, and hope. Traversing the long shadow of history, arriving at scenes marked by bullet holes, and collecting the bloody tales of wanderers along the way, he explores a more universal question, one that begins in the Balkans but resonates with each of us: in these uncertain times, where do we find home? Liu Zichao graduated from the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Peking University and previously worked for \"Southern People Weekly\" and \"GQ China.\" His published works include \"Arriving Before Midnight,\" \"Following the Monsoon,\" and \"Lost Satellites.\" He has also translated \"The City of Marvels,\" \"A Moveable Feast,\" and \"The Long Goodbye.\" In 2019, his long-form non-fiction work on Central Asia was awarded the \"Global True Story Award\" Special Recognition; in 2021, he was named \"One-Way Street Bookstore Literary Award - Annual Young Writer.\"","brand":"文匯出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242025832687,"sku":"9787549643295","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/10N9wXBwghOV3IKDweHTzIObAkUThUzBa.jpg?v=1738966785"},{"product_id":"一堆谎言-9787541158155","title":"A bunch of lies","description":"Mentor of Wong Kar-wai and Jia Zhangke, aesthetic idol of Scorsese and Wim Wenders, record-breaker of the triple Grand Slam at the Cannes, Venice, and Berlin International Film Festivals, Oscar winner and world-renowned master of art Antonioni's story sketches. Unique landscapes under the director's gaze, paper films interpreted with words. Included are the inspirational embryos of \"Days in the Clouds\" and \"Eros\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Our concrete real world has a ghostly abstract nature\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEditor's Recommendation: This book contains the creative notes of world-renowned film master Michelangelo Antonioni, documenting his observations, feelings, and creative ideas from his work and travels. Each of the 33 stories served as material for films in the making. This \"writing director\" uses a visual brushstroke imbued with a photographic eye to \"sketch\" various situations, weaving together landscapes and imagery rich with meaning. These works possess not only a transcendent literary quality but also connect with the films he directed, constructing the poetic world of a master.\u003cbr\u003e * * *\u003cbr\u003e ◎ An inspirational sketchbook by a winner of three major film festivals, showcasing a concentrated burst of An's style elements:\u003cbr\u003e Ambiguous and alienated emotions, an elusive fate, inexplicable undercurrents of violence, a helpless and naked heart, a hidden and illusory reality... This work continues the modernist core of iconic works such as \"L'Avventura,\" \"Night,\" \"Red Desert,\" and \"Blow-Up,\" using words to interpret the crises and anxieties of the spiritual world. It not only includes the \"textual embryos\" of his late classics \"Days in the Clouds\" and \"Eros,\" but also the \"creative soul\" of unfilmed works. \u003cbr\u003e◎ Visual distillation and thematic montage invite readers to experience the famous director's way of observing the world:\u003cbr\u003e Antonioni's unique \"cinematic eye\" writing encompasses more than just flashes of cinematic jargon, such as \"eye pans\" and \"fade-ins,\" or scenes with out-of-sync sound and image, or audible voiceovers. It also encompasses the visual sketches and montages of various pre-filmed materials. The author freely navigates the realm of non-fiction and fiction, transparently demonstrating the creative process that encompasses the core concept of narrative.\u003cbr\u003e ◎ The new edition cover is designed by a cutting-edge designer, trying to fit in with An's style and making it more collectible:\u003cbr\u003e The main visual image features sketches by Georges Seurat, a leading artist of the Pointillist school, titled \"Night Walk\" and \"Man Reading.\" The psychedelic red and green colors are freely rendered, evoking the diffuse stream-of-consciousness writing of Arnold. The cover is constructed from a silver card coated with an ultra-gloss film and reversed glazing to recreate the effect of matte light and shadow. The inner cover features a space shuttle matte powder coated with a tactile film, creating a unique and subtle feel that complements the delicate and ethereal temperament.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e📖 Synopsis: An encounter that begins and ends, a lingering love, a letter of self-confession, a crime of incest and patricide, a shooting with unknown motives, a voyage of life and death... ...\u003cbr\u003e This is Antonioni's sketch of the story and the material for his film in the making.\u003cbr\u003e Various emotional fragments and inspiration fragments construct the transcendental world of a master.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 📖 Celebrity Recommendation: During my student years, I was deeply influenced by Antonioni's work, having watched many of his films and read many of his books. I still remember his description of space: immersing yourself in it for ten minutes allows you to communicate with it. It was then that I suddenly realized that space is alive, something you can touch and interact with. \u003cbr\u003eJia Zhangke: I've seen a lot of films I particularly like, films that confront the world head-on, like Antonioni's \"A Moment to Remember.\" To this day, he still tells me, and tells us all, what he saw in \"L'Avventura\": that our lives are a mess. For decades, he's been saying that our lives are a mess, but you can actually see some changes in him. He might add: \"Our lives are a mess, but that's just how life is.\"\u003cbr\u003e —— Lou Ye I was captivated by L’Avventura and Antonioni’s later films. He looked directly into the mystery of the soul. I hope I can continue to experience these images and wander around them.\u003cbr\u003e —Martin Scorsese: I tend to observe and think from the character's subjective perspective, while Michelangelo is calmer and more detached, not in the middle, but rather the storyteller's perspective. His theme is alienation: separation, incompatibility, and distance. My films bear similar labels. For me, alienation gradually takes shape in the film, while Michelangelo's alienation is a persistent presence.\u003cbr\u003e — Wim Wenders\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e📖 Media recommendation: In the empty and silent spaces of the world, he found metaphors that can illuminate the silent spaces in our hearts. He also found a weird and terrifying beauty in it: simple and pristine, beautiful and elegant, full of mystery, and lingering in the heart.\u003cbr\u003e — Academy Award Ceremony Speech for Lifetime Achievement These essays, like Antonioni’s films, combine luminous landscapes with ethereal stories… These are clearly his working notes, and they are interesting both for their analysis of the director’s methods and for their literary content.\u003cbr\u003e —Library Journal\u003cbr\u003e This book asks a question that serious and tenacious filmmakers cannot avoid: does cinema welcome ideas as much as it welcomes the great god of plot?\u003cbr\u003e —The New York Times Book Review","brand":"四川文艺出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242029207791,"sku":"9787541158155","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1TpdMXJhfu9rRfmg1ad3eIzWahXwkLQpx.jpg?v=1738966888"},{"product_id":"染匠之手-9787532774647","title":"Dyeing Hands","description":"The Dyer's Hand is a collection of brilliant prose by literary giant W.H.

This course analyzes the German literary giant Goethe's masterpiece, The Sorrows of Young Werther, and explores the myriad aspects of love with young students. In this book, Roland Barthes breaks down romantic love stories into various scenarios: jealousy, madness, confusion, anxiety, unsolvable problems, despair, unbearable longing, relapses, and suicidal thoughts...\u003cbr\u003e This discussion class on love and romance focused not on the literary classics themselves, but on the ways in which lovers expressed themselves and their mumblings within them. Two years later, Barthes incorporated his own emotional trajectory and inner journey into this analysis, developing a new literary style. Published in 1977, it quickly became a Western phenomenon, translated into nearly thirty languages ​​and staged, becoming Roland Barthes' most widely circulated and best-known work. \u003cbr\u003eThe author of this book attempts a highly neurotic, \"divergent\" style of writing, blending speculative thought with direct demonstration, demonstrating a \"zero-degree writing\" of \"scattered perspective.\" He extracts the colorful fragments of romantic experience, refracting them through the mirror of philosophical speculation to form a bewildering array of combinations. Using a corresponding literary style, he reveals that lovers' whispers are nothing more than a tangled web of feelings and thoughts, a tangled mess that is difficult to disentangle.

Shibusawa Tatsuhiko admits that among his works published in the 1960s, \"Cosmography of Dreams\" is his personal favorite. Through writing this book, this heretic of beauty and collector of mysticism found his own essayistic style. Therefore, this book can be considered his key work.\u003cbr\u003e 2.

While birds, beasts, and plants abound in poetry, they are always reflections of the human world. Kites soaring, fish leaping, represent the human realm; millet and sorghum bloom, represent human emotions. Arousing and observing the grievances of the masses, serving one's father and one's ruler—these are all deeply human affairs, each grounded in an understanding and appreciation of the past.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sometimes I recall the time I drafted \"Shijing Biecai\" (The Book of Poetry) over a decade ago, and I feel a striking resemblance to my own mindset. Yet, it's been a long time since I've read poetry this way. I envy and even admire the encounter with the ancients, the thoughtfulness and caring imagination. Though it's personal, I couldn't help but quietly tagged along, becoming a voyeur on the encounter, and it brought a wave of joy.\u003cbr\u003e —Yang Zhishui (Researcher at the Institute of Literature, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences) \u003cbr\u003eThe author writes about the poems and people of the past, yet also narrates the present. Poetry not only allows us to \"learn the names of birds, beasts, plants, and trees,\" but also confirms the absences in our lives. Translating one's own poetic experience into such an authentic narrative is admirable, imbued with a touch of innocence, a touch of inspiration, and a profound and delicate sense of heart and emotion.\u003cbr\u003e ——Li Qingxi (Executive Editorial Board Member of Book City Magazine)\u003cbr\u003e Before these writings were collected and published in a book, I collected them one by one, printed them out, and took them to work. You see the author articulate your deepest pain and helplessness; you see how generations of great and profound souls have navigated the world; you understand that these are necessary paths, and you will cross these bridges to reach a wider world. It's hard to say much more about a book like this, other than to read, excerpt, and reflect.

I'm certainly not qualified to engage in something like Johnson's \"Lives of the Poets,\" nor do I feel it would be of any use to me. If I were to insist on exploring the essence of my approach, I might draw an analogy with Tao Yuanming's line, \"How I wish I could sit down and tell of his life.\" T.S. Eliot begins \"Andrew Marvell\" with the line, \"There is no revisiting the past here; we discuss him only for our own benefit.\" Professor Zhang Wenjiang, discussing the Zen master Danxia Tianran, said, \"It is we who are amused.\" Their words have paved a path for me, but I'm not sure where it will lead.\u003cbr\u003e ——Zhang Dinghao (author of this book)","brand":"华东师范大学出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Paperback","offer_id":46242189934831,"sku":"9787567509030","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1RojkYlaqQCVXeKk5zGouiTc5eiGxTSPG.jpg?v=1738972648"},{"product_id":"万物可爱-9787568082266","title":"Everything is cute","description":"It seems that no other elderly person's writing, after so many years, can still be so close to the living context of today's people, bringing them the warmth and wisdom of life.

He understands the hardships of mice, feels the strength of oxen and horses, watches the wind slant shadows, and measures the distance of a gust of wind. When he visits someone's house, he never pushes the door open; he waits for the wind to blow it open, then enters, only for the wind to close it again. His greatest daily activity is standing alone at the village entrance in the morning to greet the sunrise.\u003cbr\u003e He understood the impermanence of life and death from the withering and flourishing of a tree, and the fate of his ancestors from the mournful cry of a bird. Drawing on thousands of years of Eastern poetic tradition, Liu Liangcheng carved out a realm of words as a spiritual habitat, creating a Chinese classic that remains unsurpassed to this day.\u003cbr\u003e 【Media Recommendation】\u003cbr\u003e Liu Liangcheng's talent lies in his ability to wash words in a clear, transparent stream, leaving each one spotlessly clean. Yet, even these words, washed clean, possess a weightiness. Hefting them in his hands, each word feels so heavy it seems to slip away. \u003cbr\u003eThe writer Li Tuo and Liu Liangcheng were the last Chinese essayists of the 20th century. Though barely thirty years old, he had experienced the vicissitudes of rural China for thousands of years. Countless farmers, livestock, fields, wheat, and trees emerged and disappeared before his eyes, experiencing life and death, decline and prosperity. He had lived too long.\u003cbr\u003e —Poet and scholar Lin Xianzhi: It's rare to read such simple, serene, yet profound and rich writing. I'm truly amazed at how the author, amidst the rolling desert, achieved such a profound understanding of life and language. Talking about this collection of essays by Liu Liangcheng, I truly feel the joy and comfort of arriving at an oasis.\u003cbr\u003e ——Writer Li Rui The kind of text I have wanted to write for many years has been written by Liu Liangcheng.\u003cbr\u003e ——The calm, elegant and self-confidence revealed in the essays of writers Han Shaogong and Liu Liangcheng is a great talent that many modern people have long missed and are unfamiliar with, and cannot find even after enduring long nights and scratching their heads. \u003cbr\u003e——Writer Jiang Zidan stood in the center of the village, without looking around, and slowly wrote about all the warm and down-to-earth things: the village where people and animals live together, the soft and joyful details of daily life, the ancient and solemn order, and the fair and beautiful destiny.\u003cbr\u003e ——Writer Li Juan\u003cbr\u003e At the end of the 20th century, a Chinese man named Liu Liangcheng reminded us again in the way he faced the world that the fire of ancient Greece can still shine again. If we miss it again, we will sigh in vain in every remaining moment, envying a man named Liu Liangcheng who looked at a village so carefully.\u003cbr\u003e ——The writer Xu Zechen's memories and descriptions are not the kind of literati we often see. He is not sentimental nor pretentious. You can see the appearance of the soil and feel the pain of the skin caused by the wind and sand.

In this village, I feel my age with each passing year, and I also carefully feel the rise and fall of all things in the world. Through my gradually dimming eyes, I see the leaves around me aging, the raindrops on the eaves aging, the insects aging, the clouds in the sky aging, and even the sound of the wind blowing through the valley seems to age. This is my hometown on the earth, where all things grow old together.\"\u003cbr\u003e Caizigou Village is filled with stories: waking at the rooster's crow, working at sunrise, ploughing and reading, chatting about earthly matters heavenward; watching crows conferring in a tree, waiting for a mouse to die of old age, the scent of dreams being sniffed by a dog; imagining a hillside lined with windows, caring about food and the harvest, slowly growing old beneath a majestic tree. These stories, floating in the air, often overlooked by others, are the major events of his life. \u003cbr\u003eThe world is also a larger Caizigou Village. Xinjiang food, served on a long journey, comforts the weary traveler. A migratory road stretching over 300 kilometers, along which millions of livestock traverse each year, stretching for thousands of years. For the unknown elderly, every ritual they perform throughout their lives seems a rehearsal for their grand funeral in the future. Peace of mind is home. Through the blooming and falling of flowers, through the hustle and bustle of life and death, we will ultimately live like our own hometown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【Editor's Recommendation】\u003cbr\u003e ☆This is the latest work by Liu Liangcheng, winner of the 11th Mao Dun Literature Prize and master of nature literature, and his first work since winning the award☆This is his return after many years since the prose classic \"A Village of One Person\", a model of Chinese writing that has moved countless people. With the leisurely nature of Tao Yuanming and the time and space of Hayao Miyazaki, he writes a sincere chapter on the earth and hometown, condensing the essence of his thoughts and culture over the past ten years. Liu Liangcheng is a true pastoral writer of the 21st century and a spiritual guardian amid the clamor of material desires. \u003cbr\u003eIn 2014, he single-handedly founded Caizigou, Xinjiang's first artist village, and devoted himself to building Muli Academy, incorporating the power of literature and art into the growth of all things in the village. He personally practiced a lifestyle of farming and reading, living a poetic life between ideals and reality, and can be called a \"contemporary Tao Yuanming.\"\u003cbr\u003e He upholds the worldview that all things have spirits, smiles at a flower, watches the wind blow his shadow sideways, measures how far the wind blows, he uses Miyazaki-like ethereal imagination to heal the body and mind of modern people, and explains his understanding and imagination of the world from a child-like perspective.\u003cbr\u003e A Chinese version of \"Walden\": Step into a different kind of life beyond the bustling city, a truly enviable \"life\" at Muli Academy: wake up to the chirping of insects and birds, and grow old beneath a tree. \"Here, the years are clearly counted, allowing you to live with such clarity and tranquility.\" \u003cbr\u003eReclaiming Home: \"We are all destined to lose our hometowns.\" A peaceful heart is a home, and everyone will eventually become their own hometown. Liu Liangcheng believes that we are all destined to lose our hometowns. When we can no longer return to our former villages, our hometowns only remain fragmented, remnants of those places that resemble home on the earth. \"Caizigou is a village that I vaguely recognize as my hometown. It preserves so many memories of my childhood.\"\u003cbr\u003e Everyone's hometown is buried in the dust, waiting to be discovered and claimed. \"When I travel, my hometown wanders too. When I was young, perhaps my parents were my hometown. When they return to the ancestral land, I become my hometown and that of my descendants. Everyone has his or her own hometown.\"\u003cbr\u003e ☆ The view of life and nature that all things are spiritual: \"Nature is the best education,\" \"When people cry, insects also chirp\" \u003cbr\u003eIn 2013, in his early 50s, Liu Liangcheng decided to settle in a pristine village at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, quietly awaiting the arrival of old age. This small village, called Caizigou, preserves his childhood memories: two houses scattered along a stream and a mountainside, creating a landscape painting from every angle. \"Chinese landscape painting fully expresses our ancestors' attitude toward nature. Humans inhabit a small corner of the earth, leaving more space for nature.\"\u003cbr\u003e In the countryside, time creeps slowly across the earth like the shadow of a tree. Settling into nature, the growth and aging of humankind and the birth, aging, sickness, and death of all things on earth are all part of an endless cycle, interconnected: \"When people cry, insects chirp and leaves rustle; human life is only a part, and human suffering is also part of the myriad lives of the world.\"\u003cbr\u003e ☆ On Work and Internal Consumption: Deeply understand the life experience of a wise man, from his views on education to work to parenting, reject involution. Any confusion can be found here. \"A good childhood should be accompanied by sunshine and wind.\" \u003cbr\u003e“Young people today don’t read too little, they read too much.”\u003cbr\u003e “Work is a man’s best companion; if you don’t do some work, it will be gone; but if you do it, you will never be able to finish it.”\u003cbr\u003e On how to age naturally: \"Aging is inevitable, even if you run to the horizon. I'd like to spend my later years surrounded by mountains and rivers like this.\" Bravely face the inevitable growth and aging, and gain inner peace and stability. \"When I was fifty, I wanted to find a place to spend my retirement, certainly not in the city. I chose a small village like Caizigou and raised a dozen chickens. I wanted to wake up to the sound of roosters crowing. This was my early life. When I was born into this world, I heard the crowing of roosters, and I woke to the sound of roosters crowing. Even in my old age, I still want to wake up to the sound of roosters crowing and go about my work.\" \u003cbr\u003eLiu Liangcheng feels more at peace in Caizigou, wondering how old age can come so quickly. He wonders if old age arrives when one becomes idle. \"I watch myself slowly grow old in a courtyard amid the chirping of insects and birds. I was originally aging in the shadows of high-rise buildings in a residential complex. You can't escape old age, even if you run to the horizon.\"\u003cbr\u003e ☆The latest collection of \"Works of Liu Liangcheng\" (seven volumes) (exclusive collector's edition) covers all the important works of Liu Liangcheng. \"Works of Liu Liangcheng\" (exclusive collector's edition) has a total of seven types, including the new work \"Hometown on the Earth\", the Mao Dun Literature Award-winning work \"Benba\", the representative work \"A Village of One Person\", the novels \"Empty Land\", \"Drilling Through\", and \"A Message\" (top ten of the 10th Mao Dun Literature Award), and the only interview essay collection \"Talking about Things on Earth to Heaven\", which covers all the important works of Liu Liangcheng and fully presents the overall picture of Liu Liangcheng's creation and spiritual world.\u003cbr\u003e ☆ Designed by Zhu Yingchun, the winner of the \"World's Most Beautiful Book\" award and recommended by Yi Yangqianxi, the book is perfect for both reading and collecting; the book also includes a special \"Easter Egg\" chapter where the author and the designer collide with each other's minds. \u003cbr\u003eThis book features a comprehensive binding and a uniquely inspired design by renowned designer Zhu Yingchun. As the author of the \"Insect Book,\" Zhu Yingchun is deeply fascinated by nature and possesses a deep love for all living things. His aesthetic, resonating closely with Liu Liangcheng's, perfectly captures the chaotic, self-sufficient world of his writing. The book also includes a captivating and insightful \"Easter Egg\" chapter, a spirited encounter between author Liu Liangcheng and designer Zhu Yingchun.\u003cbr\u003e 【Expert Recommendation】\u003cbr\u003e Liu Liangcheng's talent lies in the fact that he seems to be able to put words into a clear and transparent stream to wash them, making every word clean, but there is a kind of heaviness in the words that have been washed clean.\u003cbr\u003e ——The writer Li Tuo and Liu Liangcheng is one of the last essayists in China in the 20th century. His works are full of sunshine, reminiscent of Tahiti described by Gauguin, but without that primitive romantic sentiment. What grows in them is a kind of hardship, a kind of crisis, a kind of helplessness, joy and happiness in destiny. \u003cbr\u003e—Poet and scholar Lin Xianzhi: It's rare to read such simple, serene, yet profound and rich writing. I'm truly amazed at how the author, amidst the rolling desert sands, has achieved such a profound understanding of both life and language. In this desert of garbage, spiritual corruption, and repetition, reading Liu Liangcheng's prose feels like finding an oasis of joy and comfort.\u003cbr\u003e Writer Li Rui is incredibly sensitive to time. When he discusses it, he's actually revealing a writer's deepest compassion for the brevity of life and the helplessness of human life in the face of death.\u003cbr\u003e ——The kind of writing that I have wanted to write for many years, written by writer and scholar Moro, has been written by Liu Liangcheng.\u003cbr\u003e ——Writer Han Shaogong","brand":"译林出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46241955512559,"sku":"9787544798556","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/1klXTXzcvVaB0P8dBKN-2AtSp8sv1zkxr.jpg?v=1738964389"},{"product_id":"地粮-新粮-9787559869258","title":"Local Grain·New Grain","description":"The Narrow Gate is a portrait of people who are imprisoned.\u003cbr\u003e \"Land Grain·New Grain\" abandons all constraints and praises desire.\u003cbr\u003e Gide, the life mentor of several generations of young people and the great rebel,\u003cbr\u003e Pour all your enthusiasm into it,\u003cbr\u003e Find food for the soul and determine the direction for life,\u003cbr\u003e A gentle yet passionate spiritual guide written for young people.\u003cbr\u003e ——————————\u003cbr\u003e 【Content Introduction】\u003cbr\u003e “Our movements follow us as phosphorescence follows phosphorus;\u003cbr\u003e Yes, they wear us down, but they also constitute our glory.” \u003cbr\u003eAt the age of 28, Gide traveled to North Africa, Italy, Spain and southern France, and wrote \"The Bread of the Earth\" in this brand new world.\u003cbr\u003e He enthusiastically expressed the energy of life, wanted to get rid of the affectation of the literary world, and declared that he wanted literature to \"walk barefoot on the ground.\"\u003cbr\u003e At the age of 66, Gide responded to his early works with his life's thoughts.

Liu Zichao is a keen observer of human nature and a gifted writer. \u003cbr\u003e—Jon Lee Anderson, senior reporter for The New Yorker \"The Lost Satellite\" is far more than just a travel story. It's a rare and remarkable work of literature, a journey through Central Asia at a remarkably slow pace, like that of a Buddhist monk—a pace that, incidentally, is reflected in the book's unhurried language. Unlike most travel writers, Liu Zichao doesn't try to converse with \"important figures\" or pretend to know everything about the land. Instead, he engages in conversation with the men and women he meets along the way, asking seemingly simple questions that yield remarkable answers. This all lends his work an unparalleled sincerity. After reading this book, you'll feel like you've actually traveled to Central Asia with Zichao, and you'll learn more about the region than you would from reading a hundred political articles.\u003cbr\u003e —Margrit Sprecher, 2019 Jury Chair of the Global True Story Awards","brand":"文汇出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242006565103,"sku":"9787549631452","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/15sRdEHISqpd9M1F8F8vtU20d9Hljl-03.jpg?v=1738966139"},{"product_id":"台湾念真情-9787544729437","title":"Taiwan's True Feelings","description":"【Author Introduction】 \u003cbr\u003eWu Nien-chen, whose real name is Wu Wen-qin, is a well-rounded Taiwanese cultural figure and creative.

A masterpiece that has influenced over half a century, a pinnacle of nature literature.\u003cbr\u003e Published in 1967 and winner of the Duff Cooper Award that year, \"The Peregrine Falcon\" is one of only two books J.A. Baker published. Baker, severely nearsighted since childhood and suffering from severe rheumatoid arthritis, never truly left his native Essex. For a full decade, he exiled himself from the world, dedicating his entire life and soul to peregrine falcons. Day after day, he searched and observed, recording over 1,600 pages of notes. He then repeatedly revised and refined these notes, ultimately condensing them into this diary, spanning just six months and leaving behind a masterpiece of nature literature. It was the winter of the 1960s, and it was any winter.\u003cbr\u003e A steadfast and pure soul watches over the world, a timeless masterpiece of living in the face of death. It tells the story of a person who longs to be something more than human. \u003cbr\u003eFor the ill and restricted Baker, the peregrine falcon, soaring freely in the sky, was undoubtedly the embodiment of all ideals. He lived his life in anonymity, almost spurning human identity. In his restrained prose, he exhausts all his imagination, traversing the edge of the world to feel the eagle's feelings, leaving behind a poignant elegy for the peregrine falcon and himself. He then quietly spent the rest of his life on his sickbed, vanishing from the world. This is not a book about birds, but about becoming a bird. It's about a person yearning to be something more than human.\u003cbr\u003e ★ This is a \"translation that doesn't seem like a translation\" that combines the precision of a documentary with the elegance of a prose poem and can only be achieved by truly entering the author's heart. \u003cbr\u003eBaker uses striking metaphors and a freehand brushstroke to depict scenes he has repeatedly observed and depicted over the past decade. Using precise, concise, and poetic language, he vividly recreates every sound, every color, and even the varying density of the air in the winter countryside where the peregrine falcon rests. This gives readers a near-documentary experience, a dual baptism of nature and literature. Translator Li Siben, understanding the author's \"quietist heart,\" carefully considered and refined his choice of words in response to his free and bold linguistic experiments, blurring the boundaries of language and completing a brilliant interpretation. \u003cbr\u003e★ Featured on The New York Review of Books' \"Classics Revisited\" list, designated a must-read by film master Herzog, and ranked among the top two foreign literature works of 2017 on Douban. Rated 9.1 on Douban by over 1,000 readers, and receiving rave reviews, Baker is considered a pioneer of \"New Naturalist Writing.\" British naturalist Richard Maybee called it \"the single most important inspiration for all who followed.\" Renowned director Werner Herzog called The Peregrine a work on the level of Joseph Conrad and listed it among the must-reads of the Rogue Film School, alongside works by Virgil and Hemingway. British Poet Laureate Ted Hughes and Robert Macfarlane, one of the greatest contemporary writers of walking literature, have both hailed the book as \"one of the most important works of 20th-century nature literature.\"\u003cbr\u003e 🌳【Content Introduction】 \u003cbr\u003eFrom autumn to spring, across the flat wetlands of eastern England, JA Baker chased peregrine falcons.

Auden is a figure who transformed English-language literature in the 20th century. His achievements extend beyond his monumental works of poetry, drama, and criticism. The unique modernity imbued in his writings has had an incalculable and indelible impact on contemporary literature, profoundly inspiring countless writers. Among his works, \"Warfare\" stands out as a truly unique work. \u003cbr\u003eAuden's complexity lies not only in the shifts in his intellectual trajectory but also in the richness of his life experiences. His frequent travels shaped his conflicted personality and profoundly altered his perspective on many issues. His 1938 trip to China was an essential part of this journey. This time, he was accompanied by his close friend and partner, the British writer Isherwood. The two had already co-authored three poetic plays, and now, working on their fourth book, they crisscrossed China, visiting Hong Kong, Guangdong, Hankou, Shanghai, and the Yellow River War Zone. They interviewed numerous important historical figures and left behind a wealth of valuable firsthand information. This book, published in 1939, is a collection of wartime diaries, combining poetry, prose, and photographs. It was on the eve of the outbreak of the European War. The book was widely popular for its detailed information, humorous and moving writing style and firm anti-fascist stance. It has extremely high historical and literary value. Among them, the 27 sonnets written by Auden are praised as \"the most profound and innovative chapters in Auden's poetry in the 1930s, and arguably one of the greatest English poems of this decade.\"","brand":"上海译文出版社","offers":[{"title":"Simplified Chinese \/ Hardcover","offer_id":46242064072943,"sku":"9787532792849","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4849\/4319\/files\/17tkl9LL9rNK2DpVLMcHgh5tIDbpLV5T8.jpg?v=1738968215"},{"product_id":"雕刻时光-9787544278591","title":"Carving Time","description":"★ Translated and published for the first time from the original Russian work ★ He has been carving time all his life, for the time that has passed, consumed or not yet owned ★ As long as you love movies, let's carve time together His movies are like a miracle.
