I think I am happy. Since the summer of 2004 decided to write this time, I have been immersed in the busyness of investigation, sorting and creation, which has consumed a large part of my life with the most energetic and most active thinking. It is actually not difficult for a person to make himself happy. You just need to give yourself a goal for a longer time, and then approach it step by step to achieve it. What is the result may not be important in a sense. What is important is that in this process, you will be very simple and satisfied.

Every moonlit night, I will break into the fog of history alone. My bookstore is facing the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. The river flows through my window and turns three kilometers westward to a bend, which is the starting point of the canal - Gongchen Bridge. This line of river winds northward, crossing the entire North China Plain as the sun rises and the moon sets, and finally enters Beijing City, and ends abruptly at the Jishuitan and Gulou. For 710 years, the world has been in a vast world, but it has never stopped its speechless flow. . More than 20 years ago, the canal in Hangzhou was clear and fish were visible. For more than 20 years, buildings were everywhere, and the water was finally turbid. Now, the local government suddenly turned around and started to manage the canal, hoping to develop it into a night tour of Jiangnan. a place to go to attraction. At this moment, while I was writing this text, a night boat carrying items was rumbling by under the window. It is said that after this year, these cement ships were unable to travel in the canal at night because the noise affected the residents on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

My thoughts often wander in this seemingly relevant but actually different time and space. Frenchman Roland Barth once said a wonderful saying, "I am always confused by what is unlikely to happen and the essence of history. .”The pleasure and weirdness of writing contemporary history are all here.
