Features: Cao Cao often expressed his reflections on life by borrowing Du Kang wine: "Raise a cup to sing, how short is life!" Learning is endless, knowledge is endless, and action is endless, but life is limited. Modern people have lost the freedom of the ancients. Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles seemed to be things of the past. Look at the modern education system's requirements? To earn a bachelor's degree requires sixteen years, and to complete a full degree (master's and doctorate) requires another seven years. From the age of eight, when children lose their innocence (as Lu Xun said), until they graduate from university at twenty-four, travel is basically holidays with occasional outings. After entering the workforce and getting married, they travel for saving money, for love, for performance, and for career, except for one honeymoon trip. Once they start a family and have children, their time is entirely devoted to family. When their children grow up, they will repeat their own path but bear the responsibilities of their parents. The dream of traveling far away seems to be a thing of the past when facing the sunset years. Besides time, there is also money. Ordinary families traveling during the golden week holiday spend at least a year's savings. For white-collar professionals with higher incomes, budgeting is also a concern. The saying goes, "The passing river flows like this." Therefore, making a lifelong travel plan is something that can be realized earlier. China's World Heritage Sites are a microcosm of the country's magnificent landscapes and are our first choice for travel. They are treasures worth collecting in a lifelong travel plan. China's World Heritage Sites are legacies left to us by our ancestors who created a splendid civilization, and they are national treasures that we must cherish and pass down. They are the soul-stirring destinations that every Chinese person must visit in their lifetime. Making a lifelong travel plan starts with selecting this series of books.
