Book Review: Travel is to reach the heart and the distance.

everyone is a poor summer bug, and you can't talk about ice. Therefore, we are born to travel. As soon as I opened Bi Shumin's new book "Travel is to reach the heart and the distance", I was deeply moved by the author's simple and delicate words.

I am a person who doesn't travel often, but I am still eager to enjoy the beauty of nature in the distance and experience the customs of different countries. Due to some institutional restrictions of the work unit, outbound travel is a luxury for me, followed by the lack of budget in my pocket. Some friends around me traveled to Nordic countries, and when they came back, they all said that it was as beautiful as heaven. I look forward to the opportunity to experience it in person in the future.

after reading this book, I am more yearning for the beautiful scenery of northern Europe. Most of the author's travels in the book took place in Nordic countries, such as Norway, Switzerland and Denmark. For those who want to know the customs of Northern Europe, it can be said that they are all delicious and waiting for readers' tasting.

Starting from 66 degrees north latitude, you enter the Arctic Circle northward. There is a reindeer migration in early spring every year. In order to seize the precious aquatic resources for the young deer, the mother deer led the young deer over the mountains, crossed the rivers with floating ice at the beginning of melting, risked being eaten by grizzly bears and wild wolves, and went through all kinds of dangers to reach the tundra suitable for reproduction.

The picture described in the book is even more impressive. Reindeer migration has been staged for hundreds of years, and nature is far more wonderful than we thought. It's a pity that human beings have fewer and fewer opportunities to get in touch with nature. As the book says: the separation from nature is one of the tragedies of modern people. The reason why many cities in the Nordic countries are rated as the happiest cities in the world is that people there can embrace nature at any time.

vikings, the ancestors of Icelanders, had a generous personality, which some psychologists called T-character or pirate character. The author met an Icelandic Chinese on a cruise ship to and from Northern Europe. Icelandic Chinese talk about their memories of associating with an Icelandic beauty. The Icelandic girl is passionate and bold, daring to love and dare to be, which is too open to traditional China people. The Chinese finally decided to marry a girl from China in the future. Culture, like the stomach, cannot be replaced.

I have read the story of herding sheep in Beihai, Su Wu. But I am ignorant, and now I know that the North Sea is Lake Baikal. At that time, I only remembered that Su Wu was detained by the Huns and was not allowed to return to China, and I had no concept of geographical space about the place where the Huns lived. After 15 years of herding sheep in Lake Baikal, Su Wu finally waited for the dawn of returning to China. I'm proud of such a man of integrity in the history of China.

We naturally need to travel. Travel should not only relax our minds and taste delicious food, but also communicate with our own souls and reach our hearts and distant places.
