Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers who love quiet, delicate literary essays
- Those interested in inner exploration and spiritual growth
- Urban readers who need a moment of calm and reflection in a busy life
- Readers who appreciate writing that combines observation of places with philosophical reflection
Not a good fit for

Reading tips
- Read in a relatively quiet, undisturbed environment to better immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the text.
- There is no need to finish quickly; browse at will, savoring a few chapters at a time and comparing them with your own state of mind.
- While reading, set aside the pursuit of "meaning" for a while and try to follow the author's senses, purely experiencing the moments she depicts.
About the publisher
Guizhou People's Publishing House is a comprehensive publisher based in Guizhou, with publishing directions covering architecture, foreign literature, Eastern philosophy and history. Its library currently holds 232 titles, including representative works such as Liang Sicheng's A History of Chinese Architecture, Yasunari Kawabata's Snow Country, The Old Capital, The Izu Dancer and Thousand Cranes, Mou Zongsan's Nineteen Lectures on Chinese Philosophy, Jiang Tingfu's Modern Chinese History and Rashomon. Its author resources span architecture, foreign literature and philosophical studies. These titles show that the press both introduces foreign literary classics, including Japanese literature, and continues to publish academic and general-interest works on Chinese architectural history, Chinese philosophy and modern history, reflecting a publishing profile that balances Chinese and foreign works and combines classics with accessible reading. Public information on its fuller publishing history and key series is limited, so no speculation is offered here.

About the author
Public information about Jiang Peixi is limited, and little can be confirmed at present. According to the available records, she has only one work to her name, Departure, which is commonly classified as social fiction. This genre positioning suggests that her writing tends to place characters within real social relationships and living conditions, using concrete stories to present ordinary people's choices, confusions, and ways of moving forward; the title Departure also hints at themes of setting out, change, or facing life anew. Owing to the lack of materials on her life, interviews about her writing, and critical commentary, her educational background, writing experience, creative ideas, and the specific content and reception of her work cannot be ascertained, so judgments about her style and influence can only remain preliminary. Readers who wish to learn more about this author should rely mainly on the published text of Departure and on further materials as they become available.
