Features: I vaguely remember a Gypsy saying that life is for wandering, and love is for repaying. Then, does life be repaid because of love? In fact, many journeys begin this way—starting because of love and ending because of love. Spatial shifts can either make you forget someone or make you miss them even more. Traveling can sometimes be like a hibernation of love, a needle-pricking of the heart, an escape, a rebirth, a dream, a sedimentation, and also a eraser that wipes away heartbreak. Even if the past of love cannot be erased, can't we clear out a little blank space? Every time I go on a trip, I carry a heart full of excitement. But when I set off on the journey, I always feel like something is missing. Often, the scenery seems to be irrelevant to me. Rivers, lakes, seas, famous mountains, and beautiful scenery cannot stir ripples or shocks within me. I just enjoy the sense of drifting away from home, a light dizziness similar to weightlessness. Walking and stopping in countless unfamiliar places at airports, train stations, and other places—it's a necessity, a release, and an escape for me, someone living in a noisy city. Yet deep down, I am a particularly home-loving person. As a Cancer, my attachment to home and my longing for my loved one always leave me torn. So every time I leave, I always feel an inexplicable sense of loss. I long for the day when someone will join me in climbing mountains, wading through waters, and wandering the world, like Sanmao and Heshi, letting nature nourish our love and letting our love be tested by wind and rain.
