Distant Places Related to Me/与我相关的远方

<p>As a media strategist and cultural scholar the author traverses lands and eras aligning personal reflections with natural landscapes. Through a contemporary lens he contextualizes history reexamines experiences and contemplates humanity. Thus this transcends lighthearted travelogues or symbolic contemplation; instead it pierces cognitive fog to seek vanished noble spirits and probe pivotal moments in history's trajectory-deciphering enigmatic tides of national fortunes and their perpetual interplay with individual destinies to unveil life's essence. Thus it is both a travel account and a spiritual memoir.</p><p>作为媒体策划人和文化学者，作者以一己之身为半径，丈量大地，思接千载，以自己的所思所感与山水风物相对应，以当代人的视角梳理历史，反思经验，观照人文。所以该书不是一部轻快悠游的游记，也不是一般意义上的托物寄兴，而是努力拨开眼前的认知迷雾，穿越眼前的世界，寻找消逝的高贵灵魂，探索历史命运的肯綮和国族兴衰的诡谲，力图发现它们和个人命运之间生生不息的关系，借此感悟人生和生活的真谛。所以也不妨说，这是一部纪行书，也是作者的一部心灵史。</p>
