Features: The book in the hands of the readers is a conversation between me and Mr. Sheng Hong. However, that was already six years ago. I remember that at the time, we found a small resort in Changping County near the suburbs of Beijing. Apart from eating, sleeping, and walking, we spent our mornings, afternoons, and evenings in conversation. Memory is quite fascinating—it can transcend the limitations of time and space, instantly transporting you back to a certain situation. The scene of us chatting together back then suddenly became so vivid, as if it were right before my eyes, giving me a sense of "it feels like just yesterday."
