Features: Walking through the subway, you'll know there's no underground oppression, no coldness of iron—there's always an exit. Walking through the subway, you'll know many things, so many. Searching and longing, waiting for you to chase after you, those youthful and innocent thoughts. People come and go, like fate rising and falling, and there are still many who haven't had the chance to meet, or who have been too rushed to remember each other. The train roars in and roars away. It leaves many behind and takes many away, yet everything seems to have never changed, as if nothing had ever come at all. This is truly our book. Within it, you'll find your past joys, sorrows, emotions, love, even grievances. Once, you sank beneath the city, laying your loneliness, sadness, melancholy, and joy on the roaring subway, as if exiling your soul. Opening a diary is a wonderful, beautiful, sorrowful, and profound place. Walking through the subway leaves behind ambiguous glances, fleeting moments of excitement—some last only a second, while others last a lifetime. The editor cannot describe such a peculiar place in pale words, so they resort to these colorful stories, using their experiences and words to depict the myriad aspects of the subway.
