Features: Exquisite writing, breathtaking! Since childhood, I've loved prose, thinking it's the spontaneous expression of the soul; the writing is evocative, with its profound and transcendent thoughts. I truly hope everyone can compile the little moments of life into words—whether elegant or profound, as long as there's genuine personality, it's enough for us to savor fully. —Tigtag user Aucklander Two years ago, while still in China, I happened to read Xiao Bi (Tao Li)'s articles and was immediately deeply captivated. The beautiful writing is truly admirable, but what makes me is the serene, detached mood and atmosphere. I hope the administrators can collect and repost Xiao Bi's works more. Thank you, Xiao Bi! —Tigtag user Spencer Xiao Bi is Tao Li. I liked her articles two years ago, and I still do after reading them again. Like a brew that remains clear and fragrant no matter how long it ages. Digging through the archives and presenting them to Nzfree, I hope everyone reads and enjoys them. —Nzfree user Jin Ni These beautiful writings are both moving and melancholic. —Nzfree user Nuannuan I remember the first time I read Tao Li's article was "Wellington's Maritime and Floral Affairs." It was like a landscape painting of New Zealand—it was truly beautiful. This scene I actually witnessed after coming to New Zealand, at the Kiwi wedding in Shakespeare Park on the North Shore. In reality, the things in dreams and the things we see in reality aren't necessarily distant. I hope Tao Li's writings are well preserved. —Grey Sky user Frank Thank you for your talent and effort!! It holds a special meaning for many people connected to New Zealand. I hope one day I can buy your book in a bookstore, so that no matter where I go in the future, I can recall the days spent here and dream of places I haven't yet reached. Thank you + admire. —Grey Sky user Letaipai A sentimental journey in a foreign land, a map of the soul, untouched landscapes and souls of the Southern Hemisphere, painting the beauty of the Northern Hemisphere's square characters. I see that the journey in a foreign land is a nourishment for the soul, like an undying dream on the journey, then the rose will grow wildly in the cracks of a rough life. I sieve those delicate joys one by one through my fingers and place them in my friends' rose garden, as my own cradle. I travel within the souls of Chinese people and watch your travel stories. Whether you dance or not, I like to play some background music in the open space by the sea, or give a blank piece of paper and draw a few square character symbols. From then on, the rose grows wildly. If you come to New Zealand in the summer in China, you will see that the snow-capped mountains here are still in winter, showing their untouched, virginal beauty. If some of the words in this collection make you, in a short reading time, feel as if you've crossed a thousand rivers and seen a thousand moons, and experience the feeling of vibrant leaves in another season on Earth, then I will be truly delighted. Those smiles that have not been touched, cannot be specifically described, are the eternal between the writer and the reader.
