Features: If you count it, neither "Nine Stray Figures in Tokyo" nor the "Yao Gou" and "Heping" series have beened on the land of "Papo" as long as I have, nor have they left as many words. Over ten years, from long to medium to short stories, over a million words. From among them, I have selected a few medium-length stories, about twenty thousand words, to focus on in one book. It doesn’t count as a summary, just like a dish of pickled potatoes or stir-fried wild vegetables among a big table of dishes. — "Papo Sky Songs" This book first explains "Papo Sky Songs," then covers "Years, Months, Days," "Golden Cave," "Heavenly Palace Map," "Searching for Land," "Papo Mountains," and "Butterfly Wings of a Small Town."
