Features: All the works included in this collection are by authors familiar to the author. In terms of creative approach, the author primarily adopts a narrative style of "what I see." The title of the collection, "What I See," is borrowed from Eileen Chang's essay collection that describes her daily life and reflects her observations on human relationships and the world. The content of "seeing" naturally varies, but emphasizing this "seeing" is to stress that what is written are things the author has personally witnessed, heard, and experienced, rather than "rumors" or "hearsay." Every piece in the collection, regardless of length, is inspired by what the author has seen, heard, and felt. The author believes that such writings differ from personal reflective essays. For these writings, the first emphasis is on the word "truth," highlighting their authenticity. Readers are most interested in the person being narrated when reading such texts, followed by the author's talent and literary style. In addition to the textual descriptions of the characters in the book, the author has included a large number of relevant images, making the reading experience feel more intimate!
