"Staggering normally is seen as a loss of composure, or even interpreted as frivolity. However, staggering after being drunk is often an opportunity to see oneself more clearly."
Koreans love to drink, and Korean 잔주 (Zhang Zhuhan) not only loves to drink, but also loves to write about wine and has started independent publishing. Zhang Zhuhan believes that many people look at drinking with a negative eye, always thinking that drinking is "bad for health", "a waste of time and money", "easy to get addicted", etc. Therefore, Zhang Zhu writes about the romance and stories about wine that cannot be seen due to prejudice.
Zhang Zhuhan's writing style is like a travelogue, describing the scenery of traveling around the strong liquor with emotion; it is also like prose, sincerely writing about the experiences of people who love wine. The strong emotions that arise when being stained with wine may be the daily life of drinkers. Those moments when they put down their honorifics and raise their glasses are extremely moving in Zhang Zhuhan's eyes.
The photos interspersed in this book are mostly of wine and wine peace, unkempt and not posed. It is like flipping through the photo albums of drinking buddies. Fortunately, there is wine as a living witness between sleep and wakefulness.
In the eyes of some people, Zhang Zhuhan is regarded as an alcohol worshiper. They would ask him: "Why are you so serious about alcohol?" Zhang Zhuhan always answered like this: "I can't be careless about alcohol. What I lost because of alcohol is much less than what I gained."
