Anne Baby's first novel after changing its name to Castle Peak: Summer Valley has a treasure in her heart.
For many post-80s and post-90s generations, Annie Baby's books also occupy a place in the extracurricular books of adolescence.

Her writing style is simple, gorgeous and unique, with a little petty bourgeoisie and various emotions, and she focuses on nothingness, loneliness, pain, love and death, which makes adolescent readers who have not been honed by life moved. Therefore, she and her books are always controversial. People who like them pay the bill, but people who don't like them don't like it.

Later, this Annie Baby, who has been writing "seaweed hair", "cotton and linen long skirt" and "barefoot wearing sneakers", got married and had children in 2007, and changed her pen name to "Castle Peak" in June of 20 14.

In fact, for the market, the pseudonym "Annie Baby" has gained recognition and certain appeal, but she chose to change her name:

The person who wrote all the scars of girls in those years has become a mother and returned to reality, and she has also started a new writing pursuit.

Summer Valley is her first novel after she changed her name. The novel is divided into four parts and eight chapters. The story breaks through time and space and changes with the perspective of the characters, which has a certain breakthrough.

There are many thoughts about Buddhism and life in the book. Because of space and depth, I still can't fully understand some parts. But sometimes, some sentence paragraphs will also bring me inspiration and recognition.

The story of Summer Valley still discusses the relationship between men and women, nothingness and destination, "love" and the essence of life. Xia Gu is a utopia she created in her book.

Some people criticized the author for writing a story about a lonely woman having an affair with a good-looking middle-class married man, and staged a middle-aged Marisol. Although she is under the banner of anti-middle class, she is actually a representative of the middle class and has never experienced real suffering.

People are eager for love and understanding, so they will give many relationships some unusual spiritual significance, and because a relationship is rare, they cherish and yearn for it more, which is also a kind of desire of people themselves. This, I think, runs through her works.

Qingshan himself said, "Annie will always be a part of me." All my writing is based on Anne Baby. It won't disappear or leave, but I can do something new based on it. "

After continuing to explore similar themes, she gave the answer: most love and affection will eventually be disillusioned, and there is no eternal opportunity. If you immerse yourself in it and pursue it hard, it will only bring pain and you can't get rid of it.

If you want to get the freedom of mind, you must learn and adapt. From these experiences, you can learn to adapt to the impermanence of life and interpersonal impermanence, and understand the true nature of the world, so as to gain a little freedom and a little light.

It is indeed a better choice to give meaning to life by becoming a better self.

Sometimes, the book will share some Buddhist philosophy and Zen wisdom. If you know something about Tibetan Buddhism tantra, Tibetan life and death book, Buddha, Upanishads, Tao Te Ching and other books, you may find * * * Ming better. No wonder some people say it looks like a private Buddhist novel.

Qingshan wrote: "When people enter middle age, they can obviously feel the slowdown of body metabolism and the decline of physical strength."

This must be admitted.

At present, the average life expectancy of people is over 70 years old, life expectancy has been lengthened, and aging has begun to occupy more space and become longer. More and more people choose to fight it. The prevalence of medical beauty and the efforts to freeze the age are all rejections to aging.

But aging is inevitable, and we should accept it.

Duras wrote: "I love your smashed face more than when you were young."

The face and body washed by time have their own uniqueness. Every age group has its own unique beauty, but our current aesthetics are too simple. Some entertainment articles mention that female stars are still "full of girlish feelings and enviable".

We should learn to accept it and accept ourselves every time.

After reading some other books and understanding the operating mechanism of the brain and body, I also began to realize that although people have subjective consciousness, sometimes maybe we are just puppets manipulated by the body. The body is not necessarily honest, it can also deceive us.

Our bodies, minds, thoughts and desires are sometimes not necessarily the same. We are driven by it to satisfy food, sex, relationship, family, reputation, order, honor and other desires, and even excessive pursuit.

"People are our tools and should serve us, not that we always please and satisfy it."

Our hearts need to learn more perseverance to resist and persist.

Some people also criticized the material of the "Summer Valley": RIMOWA suitcase, Leica camera, private customized travel and so on.

I have little knowledge. I didn't know the price when I saw a strange suitcase brand, and I didn't pay much attention to this aspect when I read a book.

On the contrary, because of some other ideas she clearly wrote, she strengthened some of her own ideas. As Proust once wrote, "Every reader can only read what already exists in his mind."

Compared with the prevailing consumerism, my shopping desire has been dispelled a lot. I think it is better to simplify everything. On the one hand, I don't want too many things to be burdensome. On the other hand, I feel really tired of packing a lot.

The author also wrote, "The quickest way for people to escape from spiritual incomprehension is to use material means."

This is also the reason why more and more people began to hate consumerism and began to give up.

Although breaking up is a feasible way, if you don't firmly decide on a lifestyle you really want and practice it persistently, it will only lead to repeated hoarding and throwing.

Compared with the joy brought by material things, we should get richer experiences and increase the density of life, so as to enrich our hearts and gain joy and happiness.

This book can let readers see the change of Anne's growth into a green hill. She wants to share her epiphany and change of mood.

A person can't stay the same forever, and a person can't completely change. Everyone is growing. The people who watched Annie Baby grew up, some left, some stayed, the author grew up, and everyone entered version 2.0. Readers should not criticize her works blindly to show their growth and taste.

"Writing is just an individual expression of life, and the two cannot be compared. Everyone writes according to his own unique life texture and sentences. Everyone can only express their inner feelings. "

In this book "Summer Valley", she expressed her heart.

The last sentence of "Summer Valley" is very good:

May we all find ourselves along the way and cherish it in our hearts.
