★It is a record of sober reflections from China’s post-90s youth, which helps you escape the web of easy and fast Internet slang words and confront desires, loneliness and intimacy of individuals in groups.
★With 27 proses, 150 short sentences, 41 poems, 3 stories and 99 photos, this book records traces of life with subtle and insightful strokes: backpacking on the weekend, expressionless passers-by, the complacent foot masseuse, the whiny and happy online ride-hailing driver, the innocent and simple children, the busy and rational wife, and the decision to refuse intraoperative pain relief…
★The book is full of sober review and reflections yet unusually calm and neat words. With delicate phrasing, it moves the hearts of readers and lets them see life, lament about life, and then embrace life.

Does life have to be splendid and colorful to be wonderful, or be profound full of ups and downs? Seemingly.
In the era when happiness overflows the boundaries of life, as a group undergoing drastic changes, we live in a fast way of being talkative, talked-about, and become easily forgetful.
That’s why the seniors keep on talking about observing, thinking, and being sober.
At a time when easy and fast Internet slang words “kidnap” the group expression ability, this is a record of the calm and neat reflections of China’s post-90s youth, with calmness and neatness between the lines and without commanding and powerless cry, permeated with seemingly ordinary power which cannot be underestimated.

We are all in prison in different sizes.
It could be seen from outside the courtyard that the arrangement of the wards is the same as the prison. That’s why Nietzsche stayed indoors during the three cloudy days at the nursing home, and became cheerful at the sight of a ray of sunshine from the clear sky on the fourth day.

The reason itself is meaningless. Only when it is interpreted and defined by those who remember with life and growth, does it become meaningful. The process itself then becomes the definition of new interpretations by successors, just like the famous chicken-egg debate: which came first, the egg or the chicken? We don’t have to get stuck in this cycle. When we jump out, we can see the point is the vitality in between. I really like the following answer.
“Which came first, the egg or the chicken?”
“Should be the chicken.”
“How did you get the first chicken?”
“By necessity.”

We are evaluating and being evaluated. Life becomes a sentence or is turned into a sentence, to which attributives are added constantly by ourselves, considering the prepositive ones to be wise and hiding embarrassment with the postpositive ones. In the framework of the scenario which is settled as soon as the ego starts to talk, we act in a way that defeats our purpose without thinking outside the box, giving birth to complaints.
...
Not recognizing the fate of being slaughtered, we sigh “It tastes awful” contented.
