Features: In the depths of winter, when all trees shed their leaves, mountains and rivers lose their color, only the leaves between the pages still retain a certain memory for people. Even outside of winter, there are many in the world who are too busy or unable to roam the mountains and forests. Then, a few leaves can also be considered an extraordinary gift. If different leaves can be pieced together to form several magical patterns, it becomes even more interesting. The book before you is made up of leaves from the trees that the author planted in the mountains. They have detached from the branches that once nourished them, yet here they have been pieced together to form a pattern called "Life." If the reader is willing to lean in and take a close sniff, perhaps they will still faintly smell the of the mountains. This book is personally curated by Mr. Yu Qiuyu, who has selected the essence of all his works to compile it into sixteen chapters, including "Tastes of Life," "Personality Dignity," "Beware of Small People," "Journey Through Ruins," "Moonlit Homeland," "Nomadic Mentality," and more. All chapters are tightly centered around the theme of "Life," featuring both passionate and lyrical "Yu Qiuyu-style" prose sentences and sharp, incisive insights. Mr. Yu has also added a large number of newly written chapters, marking the first time since his "penning down" that he has shared "fresh" words with the world. These writings represent his recent intellectual reflections, and their style and depth of thought are noticeably different from his earlier works. The excerpts in this book are not confined to the style of general musings but strive to reflect the distinctive "Yu Qiuyu characteristics."
