Features: In the depths of winter, when all trees lose their leaves and mountains lose their color, only the leaves between the pages still retain some memories 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 left the branches that once nourished them but have now pieced together a pattern here. This pattern is called "Life." If the reader is willing to lean close and sniff carefully, perhaps they can still detect a faint scent of the mountains. This book was personally curated by Mr. Yu Qiuyu, who selected the essence of passages from all his works to compile this collection. It is divided into sixteen chapters, including "Tastes of Life," "Personality and Dignity," "Beware of Small People," "Journeying Through Ruins," "Moonlit Homeland," "Nomadic Mindset," and more. All chapters revolve around the theme of "Life," featuring both passionate and eloquent "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 contents represent the accumulation of his thoughts in recent years, and their writing 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 characteristics of "Yu Qiuyu."
