在编辑《赶路人2.0》时，重新翻阅今年所写的114篇诗文及短文，犹如一篇篇的日记在记录着生活的点滴，脑海中快速闪过所做所见所闻，形如一小段视频。人生也是如此，周而复始，一直在做着重复的东西度日子。年轻时度日如年，年长时一日三秋，白驹过隙,再回首，已是百年身。感叹时光流逝之快，岁月不饶人，惊变都会在瞬间或这几年内发生。。。。。。   整理篇章时，不时沉淀在往事，触动人心，发现自己多愁善感的一面。。。。。。二次阅读时，发觉这次感性的诗文多了，少了政治课题篇幅，反而增加了珍惜亲人、同学、朋友间的描述，惜时惜緣。   2024年是充满挑战的一年，百物继续通胀，造成生产商与消费者的拉锯战。2025年，中国市场萎缩影响需求量，动摇全球经济表现。加上特朗普明年一月上任美国总统宝，做事总喜欢不按常理出牌，充满许多不明朗因素。多国持观望态度，导致市场一片低迷，一时三刻不会有振奋人心的消息。   从之前两本书的错别字及排版的不完美中吸取经验,，明白到有些事是要交托予专业人士去处理。这次《赶路人 2.0》找来了韩美凤学妹的出版社代为校对，排版及发行， 希望给读者更美好的阅读享受。   一如往常，邀了数位奋笔疾书友人献文,参于其中。
