"You've come such a long way."

The urge to set off often begins at an ordinary moment—
Maybe a sudden rain outside the window
Maybe a familiar sentence in a book
Or maybe, just waking up one morning
I suddenly can no longer tolerate the repetitive life of yesterday
So I packed my bags and set off alone
A journey without travel companions or conversations
The world reveals its delicate texture
I once met a French lady who had lived in Kyoto for many years. I was curious about what she gained from traveling, and she told me, "Every road leads you to where you’ve always been."
I used to think that traveling was a constant "outward" exploration
But these experiences actually help me see my inner self
Who I am, what I long for, and what is important in my life
I remember one early spring night in Paris
The tourists at the Louvre gradually dispersed, and the Seine River rippled with golden waves
I sat alone by the river, wrapped in an indescribable calm
I will never forget this moment
After traveling such a long way
I find that what I long for is just a plain, quiet and orderly life
On this long road to the heart
My China Merchants Bank UnionPay credit card has always been like a silent travel companion
In shops big and small in Kyoto, it helps me check out smoothly
On the platform at night, its one-click card-locking function makes me feel very at ease
You can get the "Extraordinary Overseas Travel" benefit by opening the Palm Life APP and enjoy an exchange rate discount of 320 yuan. These unexpected conveniences and surprises gently support the trivialities of travel
I still long to set off
But not to see the world anymore
But to see myself
