Features: This book is based on the diaries of Lin Zhi and Ma Yan during their mountain travel and subsequent conversations. Their passionate and beautiful love story began in the summer of 1996 in the mountain gorges near Beijing. Lin Zhi met Ma Yan, and during the six-day outdoor trip, they visited ancient houses and opera stages, swam in clear waters, enjoyed moonlit nights by small lakes, traversed deep gorges and high ridges, wandered through forests and valleys, cleansed themselves of urban pollution, played the flute while skinny-dipping, beat drums and picked flowers, climbed ancient city walls, and sang wildly into the mist on the meadow. Women are nature, and the male protagonist is the kind human who pursues and loves her. Lin Zhi finally found the other half he had longed for and also found nature.
