Features: Anni's photographic book, elegant and poignant, deeply cherished by readers. The 30,000-word new novel "Narcissus and Comet" is published for the first time, with over 30 new photographs recreating the passage of time and love! Anni is a slender woman who is rare in her calmness and clarity, serene like a chrysanthemum, undisturbed by waves. Her words are cold yet lofty, completely unrelated to her seemingly flamboyant name. She says her writing is for those with similar souls. Her novels are not suitable for young girls who indulge in too much fantasy. She knows how to narrate stories very well. Her tone is concise and plain, with extremely refined language. Despite the seemingly dark narration, it always touches the subtlest string in your heart. The simplicity of language and the of structure will cause the heart to ache in the gentle rubbing. Especially this new book records the author's journey from Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, capturing photographs and writing words along the way, interspersed with many memories of family. This seemingly cold person understands love better because she has been hurt. Especially the deep, unspoken emotions between her and her father, buried in her heart but unable to be expressed, strike the heart and touch the soul. They warm each other yet hurt each other. She handles the heavy as if it were light, deeply moving people. Compared to her previous two novels, this one is more mature and composed, less tragic and entangled, yet still beautiful and eerie. As she herself said: This is a photographic book about travel, love, and death. It is suitable for those who are far from the noise of the world and read it silently. With the journey through Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Cambodia as the, it is a photographic book about travel, love, and death. It includes beautiful and serene photographs taken by the author during her travels and nearly 20 flowing essays. Imagery, scents, hallucinations, scenes of the past, and consciousness intertwine, showcasing the shifting focus of the writing like a camera lens. The calm and cold narration, along with the eerie beauty of the language, deepens the work's consistent sense of aesthetics and spirituality. It records a traveler's composed observations and refinements on life and the journey of time. Serene. Composed. Beautifully eerie.
