Savoring the Days/品味日子

Turn the days filled with a thousand emotions into a delightful feast.

把百感交集的日子调成美味。

This book is a collection of contemplative essays, its title-as explained in the author's preface-carrying the implied meaning of "turning the bittersweet days of life into a delightful feast." It brings together over forty selected pieces by Gu Bochong, including "Spring Tide, Surging Toward the Distance," "Where Lie the Loyal Souls of Heroes?", "The Dream Left by the Glorious Tang," "The Bearing of the Hakka Capital," "My Mother with the Bamboo Basket," "Cherishing the Gift of Hardship," and "The Beautiful Part of Life Is the Journey Itself." These writings roam across landscapes, gaze into history from lofty heights, reflect on life, and sing the praises of ordinary days. The author seeks to contemplate past and present, weaving a continuous thread of cultural heritage while guarding the heart. His aim is to clear away the transient confusion readers may encounter in the clamorous world, shaping beautiful souls and evoking a broadness of spirit, an uplifting vitality, and a deep love for the motherland's mountains and rivers.

本书是一本思想性的散文集，书名如自序所言，寓意"把百感交集的日子调成美味"。全书收录了作者顾伯冲的自选散文《春潮，向着远方奔涌》《"壮士忠臣何处"》《盛唐留下的梦》《客家首府的气度》《背砖篓的母亲》《珍惜苦难的馈赠》《人生最美是过程》等四十余篇，这些文字或纵情山水，或登高怀远，或感慨人生、歌唱平淡日子。作者意在品评古今，文脉相承，心心相守，清扫读者在喧嚣红尘中遇到的一时的困惑，塑造美的心灵。抒发开阔的胸怀、昂扬的精神和对祖国山河的热爱。
