You have made a travel plan, and necessary protective measures are indispensable. You must not relax your nerves while relaxing your mind. If you haven't had time to finalize your travel plan, you might as well read some books first and let your mind go sightseeing first. On the one hand, you can avoid the pain of traveling by boat, on the other hand, you can personally feel the beauty of "sitting on the ground and traveling 80 thousand miles a day", which is a wonderful thing.
1, the story of Sahara, Sanmao
"What are you thinking?" Jose said.
"I was thinking that moths must be very happy when they put out the fire."
Since the last century, I don't know how many people looking for marriage have been fascinated by the world described by San Mao, hoping that they can roll up their blankets and wander like gypsies with their loved ones. This is actually a fallacy. If you really read Sanmao, you can know that in addition to the desert, solitary smoke and lovers, Sanmao also describes life and discusses the relationship between people. Everyone can't stand the trivial questioning of life, but we can choose how to face it. Because of the attraction of a geography magazine, Sanmao abandoned the "civilized world" and lived in the desolate and monotonous Sahara desert, looking for the truth, goodness and beauty of life in the desert. Every word in the book is like a burning charcoal fire, leading readers to the depths of the desert. In Sanmao's pen, in this desolate and barren place, where two kilometers take one liter of fresh water, the light of humanity and art also flashes.
Editor's recommendation
All-round, multi-angle and three-dimensional display of a different San Mao.
Sanmao's article is synonymous with romance and meaning. In the Sahara, you will find her endless fire.

2. Life is Interesting by Wang Zengqi.
"Live, you must do something. We have all kinds of trauma, but we should be happy today. It doesn't matter if the taste is monotonous and the ears sound almost the same. The most important thing is to have a wider interest in life. No matter where you go, you should have some fun and find a way. You are always sad. Why? "
Mr. Wang Lao is a very interesting person. He is not so much a scholar as a person who lives in life. He never writes about how magnificent tall buildings are. He only writes about daily necessities. He writes about the local customs of all parts of China, which is delicious and fun. This book can really make readers "sit on the floor and travel 80 thousand miles a day." From Kunming to Taiyuan, from the streets of Beijing to the diaojiao building in Hunan, no matter how ordinary life, everything seems to be with relish in Mr. Wang Lao's pen, which is worth talking about. Even the most common broad bean, Mr Wang Can tastes different. This book contains not only the dishes and customs from all over China, but also some life experiences of Mr. Wang Lao, and records some interesting stories of modern Chinese scholars. To say earth-shattering, there is nothing here. After reading it in one breath, you can enjoy an afternoon.
Editor's recommendation
It is really inspiring to describe the simple life of simple people in China.

3. Akutagawa Ryunosuke's Travel Notes of China.
"Alas, life."
Jones threw a silver coin into the old lady's basket and turned to me and asked, "What's wrong with life?"
"Life is a road full of roses."
As for Ryunosuke Akutagawa, I have to mention his most famous work Rashomon, which is a sad realistic silence. But his travels in China are also worth reading. Akutagawa visited China as an overseas inspector for four months. At that time, he was 29 years old, six years before he committed suicide by swallowing medicine. China's Travels recorded all his experiences on the journey in detail. Akutagawa is an out-and-out stranger-although Akutagawa was deeply influenced by China's traditional masterpieces when he was young, China at that time was very different from that in ancient books. The Opium War opened the door to the late Qing Dynasty. From then on, China is the realistic version of Macondo, where glitz and humiliation are separated. Through Akutagawa's works, we can get a glimpse of old China under imperialist occupation. This is not a history that most of us are familiar with, and even we don't want to mention it. But today, rereading this book still has reference significance. "Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.
Editor's recommendation
I want young people in China to read more Akutagawa's works, so I plan to translate more in the future. -China writer Lu Xun
History is a mirror. Only by staring at the past and thinking about the present can we see the future.

After returning to China, he published Travel Notes of Shanghai (192 1) and Travel Notes of Shanghai. 1927 published the short story "The Boy by the River", which sharply mocked the capitalist society and its system. On July 24th of the same year, he committed suicide by taking sleeping pills for health and emotional reasons, at the age of 35.
There used to be an old saying that "reading is not good enough", which I think is quite right. The pace of modern life is getting faster and faster, and it is no longer the atmosphere of "listening to the rain by the window" at that time. Whether you choose to pack your bags or open the pages, it is actually a long journey. The scenery is on the road and the books are in front of us. If you are also interested in these books, don't hesitate to come to Amazon Kindle, take the 11-day holiday and travel while reading ~
