Screw Update: What is travel literature today?
Where to go and where not to?
Over the years, we have changed the map of our actions little by little.
“stranded”, “repatriation”, “fence”, “blockade”, anchor Wu Qi said, these words basically constitute our life experience. The more we live in circles, the more we have to talk about the opposite, talk about the “Balkans”, talk about “Germany”, talk about the “Great Wall”, talk about “travel”.
We look outside: how long until the passport expires? What the hell is going on? While looking at yourself: Can the answers to all our questions be found in the history of other countries, in other times and places?
On the schedule of the 7th One-way Street Bookstore Literature Award this year, anchor Wu Qi and guests Luo Xin, Guo Yujie, Yang Xiao, Zhu Yinghao, and Bo Lin held an online round table of “Sailors Conference” and raised these questions. .
