Features: Following Xu Zhimo's footsteps by the banks of the, "deliberately" seeking inspiration from the 1920s; in Salzburg and Vienna, feeling melancholic for the "rootless" charm of the city of music; searching through the cities of Kafka and Kundera to delve into the forgotten memories of Bohemia; watching Chinese films, dining in Chinese restaurants, Chinatown is the "Mecca" in his heart; struggling between leisure books and serious ones, leading to a self-deprecating yet sincere confession of being a "leisure book enthusiast"; facing an unpayable "book debt," often feeling overwhelmed. These romantic words are not only a record of Professor Liu Owen's unforgettable experiences but also a proof of passion, an embodiment of true emotions.
