Features: The 201 musings collected in In the Dense Forest of Words serve as a great example. The first 100 were completed in 1991. Prior to this, Mr. Chen had a column in the Reading magazine where he wrote several notes in a miscellaneous style each issue, discussing phenomena of words from ancient times to the present, as well as insights into the evolution of Chinese vocabulary. It became the readers' favorite choice when reading the magazine. Several years later, the author "returned to the dense forest of words," his enthusiasm undiminished, and his topics were mostly popular expressions born from life. By 2002, he completed the final 101 musings included in In the Dense Forest of Words.
