Features: In the depths of winter, when all trees have withered and mountains and rivers lose their color, only the leaves trapped 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 picked 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 closer and take a careful sniff, perhaps they will still catch 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 lyrical "Yu Qiuyu-style" prose sentences and sharp, incisive insights. Mr. Yu has also added numerous newly written chapters, marking the first time since his "penning down" that he has shared "fresh" words with the world. These writings represent the culmination of his thoughts over the past few years, 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 casual reflections but are instead designed to reflect the distinctive characteristics of "Yu Qiuyu."
