Features: This book is part of the "Three Cities" series of novels, focusing on Hong Kong. It includes 25 outstanding short stories from Hong Kong's 2000–2001 annual selection, with the editor emphasizing innovative techniques in Hong Kong short fiction. Among them, Huang Biyun's Loveless Chronicle stands out as the most significant work in the collection, praised for its "writing of the tragic and sinister love of life's distortions." Wang Lianghe's Fish Curse, Kun Nan's Dance in Paradise Underfoot, and Xi Xi's Disintegration reflect various aspects of Hong Kong as this "alluringly alienated metropolis."
