Features: The author believes that true understanding of the world begins with self-awareness. We are accustomed to easily commenting on the world or even pointing fingers, yet often neglect the complex and mysterious depths of our own inner world. Perhaps, before hearing the lonely cries of the soul in the darkness, all our self-assured understanding of the world is nothing but a self-deceptive lie. Self is always the necessary path to the world. Writing is the beginning of my self-reflection and self-discovery. In this long and painful process, I inevitably confronted every woman in my life. They are like streetlights, illuminating every dark journey of my life. Women are mirrors of men's souls, and I always see a truer and more complete version of myself in them. Without them, my memories and thoughts would plunge into boundless darkness. Therefore, I must write about every woman who has left different landscapes in my life. Only in this way can I touch the most sensitive ends of my nerves and glimpse the hidden heartbeat of the world in the dead of night.
