"Life is like a sea, and you are moving forward through the waves"——Live a wanton and unrestrained life

The only thing I knew about Yanzi was that she was a photographer and that she was very popular on Weibo, nothing more. I don’t know much about her personality, and I have never admired her photography. When I was choosing a book, I caught a glimpse of Xiao Juzi’s death, and then saw that she, who was the same age as me, had traveled to many corners of the world that I had dreamed of visiting. I felt envious and became more curious about her life, which prompted me to buy it. Download "Life is like a sea, ride the waves forward" - a new book by Yanzi in 2019.

The first part of the book mainly writes about the world she set foot in, which is also the corner of the world where I want to leave my footprints. Like her, I also have a heroic dream of traveling around the world.

Starting from the freedom gained in college, I always try my best to maximize my experience as long as my financial ability supports it. I have experience climbing snow mountains. In Yading, Daocheng, I braved the drizzle of noodles, suffered from altitude sickness, and used crutches to climb Mount Sacred Mountain to see the Milk Sea. The process was so painful that I cried while crawling, but fortunately the scenery soothed my soul. I also have deep diving experience. After four days of learning deep diving in Semporna, Malaysia, I went diving in Sipadan, the "Mecca" for divers around the world. Dive into the vast wind-like "Jack's Storm" school of fish 30 meters underwater, take a photo with a century-old sea turtle, and watch the huge whale shark motionless. She was motionless, and I was motionless. I also had the experience of taking a 54-hour hard seat on a green leather train to Lhasa. It’s funny to think about it now. It’s hard not to sleep on the hard seat for 54 hours. I was so sleepy that I couldn’t bear it anymore. The three of us girls slept on the footrest in front of the hard seat without feeling dirty and smelly. The majesty and majesty of the Potala Palace is different from Tiananmen Square. In addition to solemnity, there is also beauty, mystery, and so on. The deep Milky Way in Namtso shocked my eyes and pierced my soul. There are many places I have been to, and now that I think about them, they are all my treasures.

After getting married and having children, life is no longer so carefree, and the dream of traveling around the world has been put on hold. Fortunately, the habit of loving reading will not change after getting married and having children. I can use the eyes of others to continue the feast of the gluttonous world. For example, swallows.

At the back of the book, Yan Zi’s understanding of eating is also mixed with his understanding of cooking. He must be a foodie, he can eat and make food. Through eating and eating, I also felt Yanzi’s love for life. Here, I understand the love of life as having a hobby. No matter what it is, as long as you can devote your energy to it, it is considered the love of life. In this hobby, we experience flow, time and space are invisible, and the word emptiness is not in our vocabulary. It is so good. I envy anyone who can find someone they love. Starting from this definition, Yanzi is truly a winner in life. Photography, travel, and food are all her passions. She spends all day soaking in her passions, saying that she loves life and there is nothing wrong with it.

Yanzi said that she always chooses her life based on intuition. That's great, and to be fair, the intuition is almost more correct than the correct answer. Because we never know what kind of life can be called correct. I thought I made the wrong choice, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I am proud of my correct choice, but no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Chapter 58 of "Laozi" says, "Misfortune is where blessings depend; blessings are where misfortune lies." Misfortunes and blessings always depend on each other, so be loyal to your own intuition, leave no regrets, and live a free and unrestrained life. That's right~

Yanzi's life is not all brisk and bright. The back of the book writes about Little Orange's departure. This little person was often subjected to injections and medical treatment, but he finally left. I also have a daughter who just turned 2 years old. Every parent always hopes that his son will become a dragon and his daughter will become a phoenix. However, reading about Xiao Juzi’s departure made my expectations for my children return to the most basic need in life: good health. At most, I hope she can live happily and to the fullest. More merit and fame are really not important anymore. Yanzi has a strong ability to recover. Reading her words, you can feel that the pain of the past has turned into the strength she has today. As a result, her life has gained more sediment, she has a stronger foundation in her heart, and she has become stronger.

The text of the book "Life is like a sea, and we are going through the waves" is very sincere and easy to read. Yanzi must be a smart person. In this regard, he really lives up to his name. I also found that when Yanzi writes articles, he likes to insert another thing from the past when one thing is not finished. After finishing the other thing, he will continue to narrate the original thing. Reading it often feels like traveling through time and space, and the rhythm and structure are just right. This kind of structure has the advantage of being able to avoid writing the article like a running account, especially in travel notes. This is particularly obvious. Therefore, Yanzi is still very talented. He can take photos, cook, write articles, manage his own studio, and even open a pub! He is a super invincible energy baby!

After reading this book, I felt it was not satisfying enough, so I ordered her last book "Why Wait for the Next Life".

I’ll share it with you after I finish reading, just wait for me~
