Features: A smile that flashes on the lips of an infant in their sleep—does anyone know where it comes from? Yes, there are rumors that the smile of a sliver of new moon touched the edge of fading autumn twigs, and the smile was reborn in the morning dreams washed by morning mist—this is the smile that flashes on the lips of an infant in their sleep. On the limbs of the infant, the sweet and fresh vitality bursts forth like flowers—does anyone know where it has been hidden for so long? Yes, when the mother was still a young girl, it filled her heart in the mystery of gentle and quiet love—this is the sweet and fresh vitality that bursts forth on the infant's limbs. —Rabindranath Tagore (translated by Bing Xin)
The title and concept of this book are inspired by the article "To My Little Birds" by the renowned writer Lu Yin.
