Growth after dreams
Author: Ye Wubin
"Through this incident, I understand that in the case of asymmetric information, it is easy for us to amplify the difficulty with our own feelings or imagination. If you don't insist on checking the facts, it's easy to be limited by your own subjective experience and choose to retreat. This reminds me of that sentence: doing is the best way to solve the current anxiety. "
"Growing up after dreams, achieving yourself and the world with dreams" records the author's seven-year dream of "traveling around the world" and his experiences and thoughts during this period, emphasizing "opening up a new pattern for his life through the expansion of knowledge and harvesting the wisdom of growth".

The lost satellite
Author: Liu Zichao
"The development level of each region is therefore very different: the northern cities in Fergana Valley, such as Kuzhan, have a relatively high degree of industrialization; Central and southern regions can adhere to self-sufficient agriculture; As for the Pamirs, people still use ancient agricultural methods and are teetering on the edge of survival. "
In the past nine years, the writer Liu Zichao went deep into the hinterland of Asia several times and went to mysterious neighboring countries-Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, and began a journey of exploring the past and the future in this land on the edge of globalization and among great powers.
Flying along the border, bypassing scattered enclaves, galloping in the no-man's land of Pamirs and berthing at the Soviet nuclear explosion test site, he witnessed the isolated place with the spirit of explorer; Stepping on the golden road in Samarkand, wandering in the bloody battlefield and the imperial palace, staring at the oldest holy book and touching the stupa written by Xuanzang, he tried to find the eyes of the ancients; Get to know Tajik youths who have pinned their future on the people of China, meet China people who have been trapped in the Aral Sea for seven years, and in Uzbek bars, hear businessmen pointing to banknotes scattered in the air shouting: "What you saw before is an illusion, this is reality!" Along the way, he met all kinds of people, wandering between hope and frustration, freedom and loss.
Everything is like an off-track satellite, ambiguous and lost, full of vitality, lonely and struggling. We were next door, but we didn't know it-until the trip began, the book was opened.
Eternal journey of time
Author: Michio Hoshino
"The so-called scenery may be a mountain, a beautiful river, or the touch of the wind blowing through this land. If the scenery in the dream is nature, no matter what enthusiasm human beings show, the other party will not respond and still exist as it is. The season will only change before our eyes, and time will slowly pass. "
The eternal journey of time includes unpublished photos of Michio Hoshino and diaries of Siberia, which is a review and tribute to Michio Hoshino's epic photography career. Michio Hoshino used his lens to capture the beauty of nature and the fragility and strength of life, and recorded the polar scenery, animals and people with his purest love. His words are as simple and warm as his images, and every journey is a touching "spiritual journey". Michio Hoshino once said, "When my life will come to an end, I hope my life can end in Alaska." He dedicated the most youthful years of his life to this remote northern land, which became his last resting place. He used the lens to leave us those precious dying lives and scenery, and also wrote down the eternal dialogue between man and nature.
