Poetry & Wine in My Prime (English-Chinese Edition): A Pocket Notebook for the Life You Want to Live Now

Poetry & Wine in My Prime (English-Chinese Edition): A Pocket Notebook for the Life You Want to Live Now

A little book of life wisdom drawn from Su Shi and the Chinese literati tradition — in Chinese and English — designed to be carried, written in, stamped, and returned to whenever you need a quiet moment
This is not a book you read once and put on a shelf, and it is not a blank notebook with nothing to say. It sits in between: a small, pocket-sized volume—48开, hardcover, made to be carried—that gives you short pieces of life wisdom drawn from Su Shi and the Chinese literati tradition, in Chinese and English, and then leaves you room to write your own. The title comes from a line by Su Shi: “Poetry and wine, while the years are still young.” The idea is simple: meet the world with a poet‘s openness, live with a drinker’s warmth, and seize the moment with the decisiveness of “now.” You can use it as a journal, a commonplace book, a place to collect stamps, or simply a quiet object to return to when the day gets loud. If you want a small, beautiful bilingual companion that asks you to both read and write—rather than a full-length essay collection or an empty ruled notebook—this is it.

Product Description

About the Book
Shi Jiu Chen Nian Hua (诗酒趁年华) takes its name from a famous line by the Song dynasty poet Su Shi: “While youth is still ours, let us enjoy poetry and wine.” It captures the essence of a life lived with intention, passion, and grace.

This isn’t just a book — it’s a bilingual journal designed to be written in and lived with. Inside, you’ll find a collection of short, beautifully written passages on everyday wisdom and mindfulness, paired with elegant Chinese-English layouts. It offers a gentle antidote to the anxiety of modern life: a reminder to embrace the present moment, to create, to love, and to savor the now.
