Features: The 47 short stories collected in this booklet are mostly real-life stories that have happened around me or certain fragments of memories. These characters and events often linger in my mind, and they yearn for a way to tell the truth to the world. Thus, they push my back or hold my hand, urging me to come forward. For me, it seems like not writing would be a disservice to them and a betrayal of my conscience. Writing them down seems like a form of release for my soul. Whether they are dead or alive, it is a stance I take toward them, a form of understanding. These things cannot be called skill or literary talent, but the characters are real, the events are real, and the emotions are real. It's just that they wear different faces or are mixed up.
