"In Daishan, I found the answer to escaping the city: slow down and wait for the sea."

I think I am sick, I long for freedom and distance too much🪪
The state of extreme internal consumption lingers around me
The thoughts in my heart remind me not to stop.

Looking at the luggage in the trunk ready to go at any time🧳
Sad and tearful, sometimes I just want to be a backpacker
Wandering in the corners of various cities but unable to escape the comfort zone

Green train 🚞➕ high-speed rail 🚄 I took the first step
Sometimes traveling is actually very simple. Just buy the ticket and go.

When I arrived at the destination, I was still in a trance, happy, excited, and comfortable.
I saw the other side of this island🏝️ Kirishima🌫️
The memory has already stopped at 7 months ago. Familiar roads and familiar places.

I saw the long-lost sea——the yellow sea🌊
When I was in school, I read "Swimming Until the Sea Turns Blue" written by Yu Hua.
At that time, I was full of questions: Isn’t the sea always blue?
It was not until later that a friend told me that the sea is yellow. When I stood on the embankment of Haiyan, Zhejiang, and looked at the turbid yellow sea. The "blue sea" in my childhood textbooks and the reality before my eyes have been separated into a puzzle: "I will keep swimming until the sea water turns blue." This monologue, full of innocence and stubbornness, has become the soul of "Swimming Until the Sea Turns Blue", and has also woven a flowing scroll about hometown, memory and pursuit.

But I can't swim, and I don't have the courage, so I come to this sea again and again, I want to wait until it turns blue.

Yu Hua's "The Sea Turns Blue" is a childhood fantasy of a distant place, and also a retrospection of the spiritual homeland in adulthood. As we flee our homeland, we struggle in spiritual wandering.

A sudden thought: watching the sea, backpacking, hiking, and redeeming yourself

When I traveled before, I always wanted to find the most popular check-in spot to take photos and post them on WeChat Moments. Later, I felt that it was really boring. I yearned for the corners of each city and found many unexpected surprises. This island attracted me every time I was waiting for an island, and also accepted me many times when I was confused and had no courage to face life.
