Features: This thin notebook is overly casual and carefree. Like a child's spontaneous doodles, it shares not the clumsiness of words, nor the emptiness of content, but simply the mood during the act of scribbling. Writing is a very personal matter. Once made public, it brings a joy similar to that of hoarding a secret, with only that unique and precious emotion able to shine its distinctive light when seen by many. It may not be dazzling, magnificent, or outstanding, but it comes from the depths of one's heart, from the most authentic and simple aspects of a person. Therefore, it is always unique and different. This collection includes essays, short stories, and travelogues. A jumble of fragments, arranged haphazardly with no particular order. But I love this unadorned state very much. I even wish my words could appear in manuscript form. Let every stroke of revision, let those scribbled marks silently convey a feeling, more fully and completely. This kind of candor requires courage.
