Features: This book compiles the author's recent "passing notes" from different cities. As a social news journalist for Southern Weekly, the author had the opportunity to travel between various cities, which allowed them to interpret each place through the lens of a note-like text. As a byproduct of journalism, the author views history from a humanistic perspective, making this book, in a sense, a humanistic travelogue. At the same time, it is a book that adds charm to ordinary life. Rather than depicting cities, it reconstructs the inner world of highly individualized urban spaces. It endows cities with life, transforming them into the scholars, gentlemen, and madmen within our hearts. With clean and precise language, it describes ordinary places, evoking different emotional stimuli within us.
