【Event Introduction】
"On a nice day, I went for a walk after lunch. I walk for two things, the first is health, and the second purpose: I hope to figure out what I'm writing at hand and how to write it below..."
This is a passage from the novelist Shen Dacheng in her new book, "The Lost Man", which describes the stories of 15 "cosmic people" who have lost their navigation, which seem magical and strange, but are inextricably linked to our real world.
Dacheng himself said that the clue that made up this new collection of novels was "walking around." We need to take a walk, and in the end people need a space to go and think about, and then they have something to share.
Well, we invited Shen Dacheng, along with her two good friends Gu Xiang and BTR, three lost people to lead the way to the cultural square on the best walking route. Share something about the new book about a walk or something that isn't relevant.
Come on, maybe you don't get any insight, but you can go out for a walk. Some people say: Reading Shen Dacheng, there will be a feeling of looking back again and again, making you feel that this real world may not be worthy of such care, but there is no way, this is the only thing we really have.
Yes, for the sake of health, welcome to the Lost Walking Convention.
