What are words

I learned about this book when I met Jun in Yueshu in March. Jun mentioned that she really wanted to buy this book, but she had to think about it again. Before leaving, I said that Emily Chan was Irene's roommate, which was just a literal meaning at the time.

After reading the entire book, I realized how much affection and years these words of former roommate represent. They spent more than ten years together. Ten years. There have been Chen Mingzhu, Tovi, Tuan Tuan and Meimi together, and there have also been good and bad joys, peace of mind and uneasiness, and sudden separations. Every "It's great to have you" that I recall is true, and "It's great to have you go" is also true from the bottom of my heart.

On page 68, Emily Chan says:

Whether words can impress people often has nothing to do with words. It has more to do with personal observation, level of thinking, meticulousness of emotional perception, and the courage to face oneself and speak out. These are not things that can be learned in class. In addition, I gradually understood that even if a genius is so powerful that he can fly, the things that humans can explain in words are just eventualities in reality, like small bubbles on the edge of the waves of the vast ocean. But they are still cute little bubbles.

I understand the world through words, and then understand words through experiencing the world. Although words are sometimes useless or even misleading, I still love them deeply as if destined. I like it to wake up unexpectedly in daily life and come alive in my senses one by one. Every time a word is reborn in my heart, it is like adding a friend and rekindling trust. I hope to have a comfortable, non-embarrassing, warm, loyal, and long-lasting relationship with it. I will continue to understand it, and through it, I will continue to understand it. It to be known and understood.

Yes. It is a relationship of understanding, not demand.
