Features: This book is part of the "Three Cities" series of novels, focusing on Hong Kong. It collects 25 outstanding short stories from Hong Kong in the 2000–2001 period, 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 for its "writing of distorted love and lingering regrets, sharp and incisive." Wang Lianghe's Fish Curse, Kun Nan's Dance in Paradise Underfoot, and Sai Si's Disintegration reflect various aspects of Hong Kong as this "alluringly alienated metropolis."
