Features: Everyone is walking on the journey of life. As figures fade away, they leave trails, deep or shallow, which, when gathered together, form a great book. People often say, "Reading life." Indeed, when the impressions of individuals are described, those distant trails become the best objects for us to understand history and savor life. Books are like people. The process of one book after another being born, and one after another ( refers to people with a keen interest) seeking the stories of books, is originally part of the human experience. The shadows of books, like the traces of people, always leave us endless interest. Precisely because of this, many people talk about it with great enthusiasm, even becoming obsessed with it, thereby experiencing a unique kind of joy. What it provides us with is the real world, real people, and real stories. The joys and sorrows of individual historical figures, the sweet and sour of authors' experiences, the ins and outs of each book, will powerfully bring us closer to history and reality, closer and closer. A person who engages with words and the world first demonstrates their vitality through how much they write. Even if they write nothing but nonsense or publish nothing but fallacies, they are still writing, speaking to the world, and even complaining requires energy. If they reach a point where they don’t want to speak, don’t feel like speaking, and lose the drive and enthusiasm to express themselves, it indicates that the person’s vitality is declining.
