Features: In these articles, spanning diverse topics across the land and featuring characters from the east and west, a novel's spotlight has unexpectedly emerged: among the ancients and moderns, the old and the new, I have always been drawn to pursue those who are defeated, suffering, scattered, hungry and cold, with wounded spirits yet striving to rise, bodies enduring hardships yet never surrendering, burdened with eternal regrets they cannot voice, and faced with valuable choices yet unable to make them. I admire their words on the brink of despair, their moments of death; I cherish their poems when trapped in sorrow, at the very moment of danger. This is the inclination of my nature, and perhaps the very essence of this small book!
