Features: Cao Cao often used Du Kang wine to express his reflections on life: "Raise a song to the wine, how short is life!" Learning is endless, knowledge is endless, and action is endless, but life is limited. Modern people no longer have 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 doctoral) requires another seven years. From the age of eight, when children lose their innocence (as Lu Xun said), to the age of twenty-four when they graduate from university, travel is basically holidays with occasional outings. After entering the workforce and getting married, they travel for money, for love, for performance, and for careers, except for one honeymoon trip. Once a family is established and children are born, time is entirely devoted to family. When children grow up, they will repeat their own path but bear the responsibilities of their parents. The dream of traveling far away seems to appear 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, there is also the issue of budgeting according to income. The saying goes, "The passing water is 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 destinations. 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, a national treasure that we must cherish and pass on. 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.
