Dreaming back to Jiangnan, without mentioning Suzhou and Hangzhou, I have a special fondness for Shaoxing, a city that holds endless stories and emotions
🍶 Saying goodbye to Shaoxing, the reluctance is like aged wine, becoming richer with each taste. The ancient streets and mottled stone bridges seem to whisper the passage of time, bringing the tenderness and sweetness of Jiangnan vividly before my eyes.
📚 Wandering through the words of Mr. Lu Xun, the vibrant life of the Hundred Grass Garden and the tranquil bookish air of the Sanwei Bookstore together sketch vivid springtime scenes. Picking up a few fennel beans, sipping authentic Shaoxing rice wine, the leisure of life and the breath of literature flow between the lips, intoxicating.
