The term "scenery" is defined as: "scenic views or landscapes within a certain geographical area that can be appreciated by people." It generally refers to natural scenery. However, the scenery in this collection is not the same as the conventional definition—it is not based on classical texts but aims to provide readers with enjoyment, appreciation, and reflection through the words. The collection is divided into different sections based on the themes:
- Life Scenery Line: Life in all its diversity—bitter, sweet, sour, and spicy—moving, unforgettable, and deeply engraved. The narratives are profound and meaningful, reflecting the idea of "I see people in the scenery, and people see me in the scenery."
- Post Road Scenery: The journey of life is like a walk, though the future is unknown, it always leaves behind traces of the post road. Walking is a common part of life, but it evokes different emotions. The collection selects the most captivating aspects of these journeys to accompany readers.
- Literary Scenery Garden: Beautiful writing is like beautiful scenery, captivating the heart. Enjoy the extraordinary, share the beautiful. The collection focuses on contemporary masterpieces, emphasizing uniqueness to delight readers' eyes.
The "Scenery Collection" is not fast food—it invites readers to savor its richness slowly, appreciating a different kind of delicacy.
