Features: My mood always returns to a state of zero and tranquility at the moment of curtain call and receiving applause. The clamor on the stage, the noise of the world, and all the sounds that the river whispers in the night will vanish. What is called phenomenon cannot change the silent nature of this world. After everything disappears, only one thing remains eternal—that is the belief and passion of love. The souls of people who burn for love cast an unwavering shadow on the long river of history for thousands of years. The passion of humanity in searching for love and the passion of dreams will be eternal. —The words that won the instant admiration of the super-popular scholar Yi Zhongtian, a one-person singer, dancer, and writer. The extraordinary woman, Shadow, is searching for her warrior! This is a reflection on love, a Broadway girl from America, with a theatrical perspective and a feminist viewpoint, seeking the love hidden in the depths of Eastern and Western history and culture. She wanders between her own and others' souls, reinterpreting the love of numerous figures such as Du Liangniang, Wu Zetian, Zhu Yingtai, Lolita, and the Green Snake with romantic and idealistic words. Whether it is demanding, yearning, attained, or unattainable, whether it is profound, vast, obsessive, or innocent, all love is forever frozen in the long river of history, lingering in the heartbeat of three thousand years, leaving endless passion. This book includes "The Story of Golden Sand," "Buddha's Color," "The Affairs of Flowers," "The Art of Tea," "The Shadow of Taoism," "Eve," "The Story of Gold," "Du Liangniang," and more.
