Sea over the Mountains is a collection of travel notes organized into four sections. The work transcends mere scenery to explore the profound connections between people, places, and moments. From oyster feasts in Shenzhen’s Shajing and roasted pork at Fenghuang Mountain to sunsets over Changsha’s fishing rafts, each piece captures life’s fleeting beauty with poetic precision. The author also describes diving between the American and Eurasian tectonic plates and shares stories of a town without public transportation. The book moves effortlessly between philosophical musings and the warm romance of daily existence, offering readers both a window into contemporary Chinese youth culture and a fresh perspective on our shared human experience.
