Slightly bitter yet offering readers warmth and hope, they are modern fairy tales, a modern version of life through fairy tales. More often, people sit in the corner of the material world in their waking consciousness, accompanied by the joys and sorrows of the mortal world. Facing the fact that even if they had wings, they could only walk on the ground and could only whisper to themselves in the words of the wise, "Every wound is a form of maturity." "The wind comes through sparse bamboo, I go, the bamboo does not leave a sound; the wild geese pass over the cold pond, the wild geese leave no trace on the pond."
