-Recommended-
February 10, 2020, perhaps by chance, I was recommended by another friend, added the small hidden girl's WeChat.
When I first met Xiao Yin, I was attracted by her name.
The most memorable poems about "Xiaoyin" are this one: "The big hermit is hidden in the city, the small hermit is hidden in the wild".
The girl's name is really poetic, so I silently followed her words.
We really got acquainted this year.
Just remember her kind and bright laughter. In the voice chat, I realized that she was the same year as me, and she said that she was a man of few words in real life, just like me.
I think this is the most wonderful encounter. In the world, people who are on the same wavelength and interesting will eventually meet, just sooner or later.
She is a girl from Henan province, living a life of simplicity in Suzhou. She is full of artistic flavor, plays the piano and guzheng, and also writes a good handful of articles.
She is known to readers as "the lilac girl in Dai Wangshu's writing", how can such a beautiful girl not make people happy?
She is humble and easy-going, and her writing is fresh but heavy. Reading her new book, "A Long Way to Go, Just in Time," made me even more delighted with her.
Receiving the new book has been a period of time, her words amazed me, only read once, so I dare not easily write a book review. As I write this, I'm already into my second read-through.
There are some beautiful words that will always be worth a "sauce nibble".

I especially love the cover of this book, which is so well-intentioned and well-designed that you can't help but love it.
In the curved and stretched path, green trees are born on both sides, and occasionally yellow flowers laugh at the spring breeze. Small hidden girl left behind the back, as if she was in the tunnel of slow time, not slow interpretation of the deep love of grass and trees.
She said, "In this world, many people tell you to hoof it forward, and I want to bless you to slow down life."
In the age of FAST, where everything seeks to be efficient, it seems that very few people are able to truly slow down and live.
People think that when one ""slows down,"" one might miss a big order, miss an opportunity, and possibly lose an iron rice bowl.
In the context of today's rapid development, it seems that we are really not allowed to pursue "slow".
However, a person who can really "slow down" his life must be spiritually super "rich". It's not about material things, it's about what drives us.
We are practicing in the trivialities of life, we are practicing in the hustle and bustle of work, and we are practicing in the world of talent, for what?
Isn't it the kind of slow life that Xiaoyin blessed?
Slow life is abstract and concrete, it varies from person to person.
I imagine the slow life is like this:
Coarse cloth and linen clothes, but do not have to spend for Yi to get people haggard; coarse tea and rice, but like someone with me to stand idle dusk; live in a humble home, but love the wind of the fallen flowers quietly cooking tea.
I like this kind of slow life, just my pursuit of the ideal life, but also I want to achieve the ideal state of mind.
Some people say that because a person falls in love with a city. I would say that because of certain encounters, it is enough to make us fall y in love with the same city.
After reading Xiaoyin's new book, "A Long Way to Go, Just in Time to Meet", I am also enamored with Suzhou.
There is a dreamy water town where people come together in pairs; there is a place where Changle and Weiyang spend the rest of their lives; there is a valley of the heart that is faithful to the voice of the heart; there is also a peninsula where dreams are picked up, and a picturesque Jiangnan where the rain and smoke are as if it were a painting; and it is also a place where Xiaoyin and countless literati are at peace with their own countryside.
Siu Yin said, "I love Suzhou, I love this city, I love her quiet and quiet, I love her poetry and elegance, and I love the thousands of encounters here."
Her love for Suzhou is deep.
She spent two years traveling all over Suzhou, and wrote this book, Mountains are Long and Waters are Far, and It's Just Right to Meet, with the background of the big history, and the deep knowledge of the poems and songs.
The book will be the beauty of Suzhou, such as spreading a long scroll, intuitive and bone into our eyes.
She writes with a light touch, not at all hard, and appropriately writes about the softness of Jiangnan, the simplicity of humanities, and also narrates her own feelings towards Suzhou, which makes people happy to be there.
Reading her words can always give a person elegant, calm and beautiful. There is no more or less than one word, everything is just right.
As in our life, we have a big and small encounter, in the careless time, will always make people can not help but sigh: the mountain is long and far away, just meet.
Meeting Xiaoyin and her book, my desire to go to Suzhou for a walk has become stronger.
I want to go to all the places she wrote about, want to see all the beauty in her books, want to recognize those she described many times, a slight smile with deep or shallow dimples of the people.
Looking at my heart enamored with Jiangnan, I could not stop myself for a long time.
In Xiao Yin's writing, the world's simple and sincere love story jumped on the paper, there are sad and happy, just like being there, let people also sad and happy, unforgettable.
Just remember that the "half-idle residence" lived in the pair of people. They are busy chasing "leisure", inner leisure, calm and solid, simply envious of others.
But Xiao Yin said, "If you put your heart in the right place, you will be happy."
Just remember the young couple after 90 years, in the Weiyang small store together. I also wish all my friends like them, "long joy is not central", to meet a good man who holds himself in his heart, to get a heart, white hair will not leave each other.
As Xiaoyin said, "Spring comes and summer goes, autumn goes and winter comes, the seasons change, but only love is eternal."
Judah moved to "through the sea of people just to see you hand in hand," a glance of the love story of ten thousand years, that is another pair of "idle" in the south of the river.
Small Yin said, "Half a lifetime of wandering, half a lifetime of peace. No matter how far the feet go, how gorgeous and brilliant the dream is, it's all just paving the way for a long love and a long life."
Judah was touched by Lin Muqing's love for Xia Mancao, and imagined Lin Muqing pouring out his love for Xia Mancao, and the two of them holding hands to lead a fairytale-like life.
But the ending was a miss. The first time I saw this was when I was a young man, and it was too late for me. Hopefully, after crying out in pain, Lin Muqing, finally met his sweetheart, no longer good hand in hand with the person on the enjoyment of flowers period.
"The mountain has a wood, the wood has a branch, the heart is happy today, you do not know."
I think whenever I read this poem in the future, I will also feel the wood branch in Xiaoyin's writing, that section of the life and death of love. I don't know whether it is because my tear ducts are too shallow, or because I feel the pathos of Muzhi's heart, after reading it, my eyes have long been wet with tears.
The most precious thing in the world is to know the preciousness of the feelings, and it is better than experiencing the life and death after the parting of the world.
As Xiao Yin said, "There will be countless encounters in a person's life, not every encounter can be long-lasting, not every love can be white head to old age. When you are together, use your best efforts to cherish; when you lose, it is just the end of fate. She didn't really leave, but in another world, guarding the love of two people."
I also fell in tears at the true love between Qin Xiaochuan and Lu Sheng, which is the most beautiful interpretation of waiting and loving as one.
I was also touched by the mutual understanding between Qiu Mu and Qing Ci, where there is each other, is the place of peace of mind, is the warm home.
I am also pleased that Qing Mu and his lost and found love, with the heart with fate. The true love will come back even if it's lost, and in a glance, it will be with us in a full embrace.
Wish all the world "I love you" this sentence are hidden behind the sentence "I also love you" sweet, wish all the world I want to "and you hold hands" this sentence behind the sentence I wish that all the people in the world who want to "hold hands with you" will have the determination of "growing old together with your son" hidden behind them.
It is to meet, but also a lifetime together. It's about not leaving each other, but also about living and dying together.

I have often lamented the fact that I am pentatonic, limbless, and not good at drawing, but I have a natural fondness for music, dance, and painting.
As Xiao Yin said, "Life may seem long and barren at times, but its foundation is brocade, and art is the icing on the brocade. If music is the art of pleasing the ear, literature is the art of pleasing the heart, dance is the art of pleasing the body, then painting is the art of purifying the body and mind and pleasing the eyes."
Yes, if life loses the color of these arts, how boring will it become?
My favorite is, of course, literature and art.
Without words in my world, it's like there's no light, and I'd be stuck in a bottomless pit of darkness, degrading myself.
It's scary to think about. So in this life, I'm going to hold on to literature and not let go. From childhood to adulthood, from adulthood to old age, and from old age to "old age".
Writing, it is an indestructible light in my heart, which will eventually guide me to peace, tranquility and rest.
My heart yearns for the Muli Valley, and I would like to go to the old streets of Suzhou, walk through the "green stones, quiet alleys, and thick green camphor leaves", and meet the author of "The Original" - the owner of the Muli Valley.
Like a minimalist life, without a trace of cumbersome, is the minimalist surroundings, but also the inner acre of the minimalist.
Xiaoyin said, "Life is most precious, why should we struggle to fill up the 'desire' in our life? We should spend our precious life on beautiful things, a flower blooming, a cloud coming, a sunny afternoon, these happiness within reach, all the more should be cherished."
I also like the line that Bei Dao wrote in "Visitors from Poland", "At that time we had dreams, about literature, about love, about traveling across the world."
Once upon a time, I talked to my housemates about their dreams after graduation.
I said, I want to open a bookstore, day in and day out immersed in the fragrance of books, the bookstore and the world's various exquisite books, good writing pen, as well as green, gardenia, cactus and meat, and soft as the evening breeze blowing through the music, will make coffee wearing a white shirt, he has a clean face, as well as the faraway places that we have traveled, pasted on the entire wall, as well as the most conspicuous place where the most prominent place in the placement of my latest published books.
Unexpectedly, I was happy to meet "Peninsula Dreams" in Xiao Yin's writing, oh, isn't that the dream island in my heart?
I want to jump into the arms of the dream island, drinking coffee, reading a book, and raising my eyes to see the sunset and the lonely people flying together.
The peninsula is a dream, my dream, a dream that haunted me many years ago, and years later, she is still in my heart.

I always believe that all the encounters in the world are just right.
Meet that a bend light smile, then each wind. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get the best out of me, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get the best out of me. I wish the world as winter plum like confidant, well, unhurt.
When Zheng Meizhen meets embroidery, it is a lifetime of looking at each other without words and without getting bored. Love dances in her hands, hands up and down, this life is frank and calm.
When Xiaoyin meets Jiangnan, it is a love that goes deep into a small flower, delicate, long and distant.
She said, "The beauty of life is that there are these idle years. The so-called wind idle years, is not not ask the world, but in the flashy world, at any time there is a centrifugal, to seriously appreciate an inch of time in the good."
Yes, no matter what kind of life in the whirlpool, if you can have a heart at any time out of the heart, will be able to nourish the day is a good day of leisure and fun, life is probably all the best, only happy not to worry.
When we were young, we always aspired to fly high. But as we grow older, we favor a life of simplicity and simplicity," he said.
She said, "The deeper the residence, the more elegant and unassuming. It's like the wind in the mountains, the flowers in the countryside, and the people around you."
She said, "Simple out, clean and refreshing. As if the plain white snow, the beautiful spring, three meals and four seasons of daily life."
She describes deep living in such a vivid and three-dimensional way that it confers infinite imagination.
I imagined waking up slowly in the morning, in harmony with the sound of birdsong, a white dress standing in the courtyard, breathing in the essence of everything, clear and swirling heart, outlining the corners of the mouth up.
I imagine the daily routine, a budding pet, a wisp of flowers, a courtyard, and the face of the capitalized happiness and contentment, time pouring out, as if the warm sun, a breath of air are not deserted.
Yes, reading Xiaoyin's Mountains are long and far away, just met will always make me fall into such a beautiful reverie. Her words have such magic, and I'm sure if you read it, you'll do the same as me.

Seeing the word "Xiaoyin" easily reminds one of Su Dongpo, a literary hero who traveled to Kyoto in search of a piece of paper to show off his talents.
He once exclaimed at Wanghu Lou, "I have not been able to chat with the small hidden, but I can get a long leisure than temporary leisure." It probably means, "I can't live in the mountains and forests, but I'll be an official for the time being, so that I can still get a long time of leisure than a temporary leisure."
But who ever thought that the later he was, the more he wanted to take off the official clothes, but the fame. Guarding the green mountains, green water, insects, fish, birds and animals, to be a small hidden idler. The world of leisure, poetry and song, hedge planting chrysanthemums, to keep a side of the pure land, men plowing and weaving, tea and rice, the family is happy.
Life is a long way, we are not from the former pursuit of sensationalism to the later pursuit of peace and quiet is true?
Walking on the earth, thousands of feasts, always inferior to the home of the little soup. A flat boat, carrying the breeze, and ultimately toward the heart of the place to sail.
"Life is like a journey against the wind, and I am also a pedestrian ."
This life, in the end, we are pedestrians. We are all pedestrians in the end. We see people, we see mountains, we see water, we see ourselves. I wish that we could meet them all at the same time. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it in a few days.
Therefore, I also like "Xiaoyin", and I like Xiaoyin and her book "A Long Way to Go, Just in Time" even more.
I share the same hope with her:
"I hope that you, holding this book in your hands, will have a heart to leave the world at any time, and to seriously experience the goodness of an inch of time. In this life, the mountains are long and far away, and it is just right to meet."
With you, *** encouragement.
