Features: That year, I stayed with my friend Aotuo in Yunju Temple in the suburbs of Beijing for a while. Thanks to Aotuo's connection, we shared a small monk's room, reading, chatting, and writing. Sometimes, when the monks went to the hall to chant scriptures, we would sit on the steps in front of the hall, gazing at the green mountains across the way, lost in our thoughts, speaking no words for a long time. At that time, we were both in a state of hardship, wanting to break free from the suffocating reality and get a breath of fresh air. We both, without even agreeing, thought of coming here. It wasn't about escaping the world, but about giving our hearts a chance to rest and regenerate, gathering energy and courage in silence. Reality proved us right—only those who have breathed two different kinds of air can truly understand the difference between them.
