What do Dayong and Xiaohua do?

Dayong and Xiaohua are a couple who like to travel independently. Xiaohua is responsible for the early strategy and travel writing, and Dayong is responsible for the shooting and post-processing of photos and videos. In the past nine years, they have traveled to many places and become somewhat famous - they have appeared in "A Date with Luyu" and published one travel diary after another. In 2013, after her almost five-year-old daughter Ke Yan made a tear-jerking confession, Xiaohua made up her mind: since traveling is a part of my life, this part will never be without her from now on! In this way, Xiaohua finally decided to let her daughter help her realize her dream. This was her original intention in planning this trip to Switzerland. The addition of children made this trip really different: the author gave Keyan tasks and asked her to complete them by herself after receiving simple "training". "In terms of rhythm and content, we slow down, don't rush for time or attractions, and try to arrange our daily itinerary at a decent pace. We give up decisively when we can't go to places because of limited time. In addition to the rhythm of the itinerary, we can't Put all the focus on Ke Yan, we play with her, and she also has to play with us.” As a result, the little girl gained a lot of “social experience” in just two weeks and became more confident in doing things. Independence is also greatly improved. It seems that "traveling thousands of miles" is indeed much more important than "reading thousands of books". The author also felt the unique and precious qualities of children from every little thing! In addition, don’t worry too much about children’s language barriers in foreign countries. Children naturally have unique ways of communicating. The humorous author also "complained": The couple is dedicated to taking care of their children and they quarrel less than before - this is really an unexpected surprise. Moreover, the author recorded the children's innocent words in a timely manner, which also added a lot of happy elements to this book - when we are busy with various things on weekdays, should we also follow suit and record children's details at any time? After all, a certain stage passes in an instant. Xiaohua may have been born for travel, because she has an amazing ability to remember almost every detail. The transportation connections, the friendliness of local foreign friends, the prices of purchased items, the style of several hotels or B&Bs, and even three meals a day, so when we read the text and look at the beautiful pictures, it is like witnessing their travels in real time. The process is generally enjoyable. Dayong's photography is also superb. There are hundreds of photos in the book, and there is almost no trace of "staged photography". He quoted this sentence in his last book "Dayong and Xiaohua's American Diary": "No matter how awesome the equipment in your hands is, taking good pictures of your girlfriend is the only serious thing. If she has a flat nose, you will Don't shoot her from the side. She has a big face, so don't shoot her from the side. She can't pose well, so don't yell 123 for a long time without pressing the shutter button, making her smile stiff. How can you make Huangshan more beautiful? Huangshan will not marry you!" It seems that photography is not only a technical and physical job, but also needs to be full of love to inject emotion well. What moved the editor is that there is almost no word "love" in the whole book. What a clear artistic conception this is! After reading the whole book, perhaps another thing that shocks readers is the "Europeans' emphasis on children's educational and entertainment facilities" and "the real love and care for children in every ordinary person's heart." This is also very inspiring for family education in modern China. In-depth travel, especially parent-child travel, is a good way for a family to broaden their knowledge and is a way to manage family happiness. A beautiful country is actually the inheritance and promotion of its inherent traditions by the local government and residents. This is ultimately due to the emphasis on national education and the rational tolerance of foreign tourists. Chinese tourists can experience the humane treatment, service and design of local people in all details of their travels, and thus feel the civilization of the entire society. As long as you are careful, traveling is not only about cultivating and exercising oneself, but also about recording and recalling the itinerary. It is also a personal experience of understanding another land, as well as learning and reflection on social responsibilities.

Managing happiness on the road, why not?
