Features: I vaguely remember a Gypsy saying that life is for wandering, and love is for repaying. So, does life be repaid because of love while wandering? In fact, many journeys begin this way—starting and ending because of love. Spatial shifts can either help you forget or make you more attached to someone. Traveling can sometimes be a love-induced hibernation, a heart acupuncture, an escape, a rebirth, a dream, a settling, and also a eraser that wipes away heartbreak. Even if love's memories can't be erased, can't we clear out a little? Every time I go on a trip, I'm filled with a joyful heart. But when I start the journey, I always feel like something is missing. Often, the scenery seems meaningless to me. Rivers, lakes, seas, famous mountains, beautiful moments—none of them stir my heart or leave me in awe. I just enjoy the sense of drifting away from home, a light dizziness similar to weightlessness. Walking and stopping in countless unfamiliar places at airports, train stations, and other places—it's a necessity, a release, an escape for me, who lives in a bustling city. Yet deep down, I'm a particularly home-loving person. As a Cancer, my attachment to home and my longing for my loved one always leave me torn. So every time I leave, I feel an inexplicable sense of loss. I hope one day someone will join me in climbing mountains, crossing rivers, and wandering the world, like Sanmao and Heshi. Let nature nourish our love, and let our love be tested by wind and rain.
