There used to be a country called Yugoslavia. It was once a utopian experiment site for cosmopolitanism. Today, its form no longer exists, but it has left a ghostly legacy throughout Eastern Europe. From 2018 to early 2020, the author set foot on the land of the former Yugoslavia and walked into its six former republics, meeting or parting with the locals, chatting or arguing with them. Through memories from different countries and generations, the former Yugoslavia gradually emerged in different versions of the narrative. How should the new generation of people on this land digest their own history and build their own future? This is a valuable record of the pre-epidemic era. When the world tends to be conservative, closed and isolated, what causes the many boundaries between people and between nations? Open this book, break the boundaries, and rebuild the real connection between people.
