"visitors": my self-swimming life

In recent years, there has been a wave of small magazines in Taiwan. Small-scale printing / circulation, content of no more than 100 pages, a handful of sales channels, and irregular publication are common features, while themes are quite diverse and rich. picture books, poetry collections, local chronicles, photography collections, literary and artistic creations, and so on, there are more difficult to include in the existing book classification.

Different from the standard work flow of traditional magazines: gathering multiple writers to interview and write articles, then the editor takes over the stick to complete the moistening and typesetting, and finally handed over to the printing and printing factory to complete the printing work; small magazines can handle all the above steps by one person, or they can continue the traditional teamwork, but the way of division of labor tends to be unrestricted.

I am very lucky to meet such a noisy era, so that even without the crown of the literary award and the endorsement of the publishing house, I still have the courage to become the author of a book, writing the most popular theme of our time: tourism.

My travel experience is not magnificent and brilliant, on the contrary, it is like a bowl of mixed vegetable noodles that you can eat at a stall at the entrance of the alley. there are thick sliced pork liver (strong tour, roaming), plum blossom meat slices (street tour, old house tour), big tail white shrimp (time style life tour) and so on, it is just a simple home delicacy, you can eat (read) it without any burden, but have the aftertaste of teeth and cheeks after eating. Xingzhi can also do the same and boil a bowl (take a walk).

In particular, my bowl of noodles is sometimes a little more onion and garlic, and the slight choking you feel is the social criticism that I can't let go as a citizen, and the soup head of my bowl of noodles may taste a little more hierarchical, because I like to pull the context of history and turn what I see in front of my eyes into a three-dimensional era of 3D.
