Features: Wang Xin's writing style has a unique charm that reminds one of Japan's Haruki Murakami, yet it is undeniably his own. Each short story is like a dream or a fairy tale, captivating readers and making them reluctant to put it down. Often, when inspiration is lacking, flipping through its pages, time weaves threads of life, intertwining the microscopic movements around us with the emotional lines on our palms, sparking more unimaginable associations. Zheng Huihe's illustrations are perfectly matched, adding to the text's imagination without overshadowing the main characters. Through images from different perspectives, the story's characters seem to enter a circus that only performs at night. Open the box, put the rabbit inside, and wait for the magician's command—the doves fly out. If you also immerse yourself in the meticulously depicted scenes, you may find yourself lost in them. On an island surrounded by thirteen oceans, a secret forest is born. This book is composed of thirty-one adult-themed fables, forming a complete novel. When read individually, each story has its own content and atmosphere, but they are all connected by a group of recurring characters, weaving together the narrative spirit of the entire book. Author Wang Xin, with a style deeply rooted in the new generation, writes about the alienation between people, the gap between childish and adult values, the indescribable birth and death of love, the unease of human nature, and the themes of loss and gain during the process of growing up. Though these themes seem heavy, the author anthropomorphizes the main characters, giving the story situations a sense of absurd humor.
