Features: There is a place. In that place, your life is eternal, but you cannot retain the memory of your eternal life. Every so often, you will irrevocably forget everyone you have ever known, forgetting every event that has happened with them, including all the misfortunes and all the happiness. To live there is to start from zero countless times. In your life there, it could be a carnival of countless rebirths, or an endless cycle of the same fate. Floating at an altitude of 13,000 meters is a landmass the size of a walnut, and this is such a place. Its name is—"Taimatai." Taimatai is a beautiful and magical land. To this day, it still floats in the world of Guo. Guo spent years completing a book that describes that world, which is the book you now hold in your hands, "At an Altitude of 13,000 Meters." Guo is a name I gave to a part of my soul. Guo's story is very interesting; he spent one-third of his life in Taimatai. If he were willing, he would use me to share more of his stories with you. "At an Altitude of 13,000 Meters" is not just a book. I think, through it, you will meet more friends, and they will appear in your dreams. A CD is included with the book.
6 "Is there anything different this year from the past?" "My beloved master," Ai could always hear the voice in my heart, and he said happily, "Did you hear the singing of the goddess Xiye in the morning?" "So what? She won't come to the Water Castle anyway. She hasn't appeared in the sky above Lusi Island for thirteen years." I couldn't hide my disappointment. "You're right, perhaps the goddess Xiye won't come this year either, just like in the past." "Then, who are we waiting for here?" "A friend." Ai exhaled, watching the breath drift away in the autumn wind. "My intuition tells me that a stranger and mysterious friend will visit Lusi Island." The flowing clouds continued their endless journey high in the sky, and we sat at the castle gate for two days and two nights. I knew I was waiting, an endless wait. What troubled me more was that even if I wasn't waiting for anything, I still looked like I was waiting. It made no difference to me either way. I impatiently asked Ai, "Will the friend you mentioned really come?" "Yes. He will bring you the world as he knows it." "What kind of person will he be?" "He is a person of happiness and wisdom." "Will his arrival allow me to hear, see, smell, touch, taste, and feel?" "Yes, my beloved master." Ai replied slowly, "He will let you hear again the melodious singing, see the beautiful paintings, feel the world's wonderful words, touch the entire Taimatai, smell, and taste the sweet dreams." Ai paused briefly. "Perhaps he can even make you speak." "Really? My dear Ai." I smiled. "Even if I don't want to speak, we can still communicate, right? We've been waiting here for two days already.
