Features: According to the current theory of flash fiction, the standard for categorizing "flash fiction" is merely the number of words. I believe that there is no fundamental difference between an excellent flash fiction and a short story, as some of the key characteristics of a short story can also be found in flash fiction. In the outstanding works of flash fiction from the late 20th century New Period, we can see that it shares the following qualities with short stories:
1. Spirit
2. Expression
3. Space
4. Language
5. Creativity
Writing and reading are partners in crime; they share a common fate and are inseparable. Reading is a conversation, and since it is a conversation, we must face the wise. Reading is a listening, and since it is listening, we must face the voice of the heart. Reading is also a journey of life, and since it is a journey, we must embark on it together. For us, writing and reading are an unfinished reality; we are always in a process of creation and discovery, in an unknown state. The meaning of writing and reading is no longer what is called life, but rather a process of entering the spiritual world through writing and reading.
