The book is divided into five parts according to the theme, including childhood memories, Hong Kong ramble, travel experience, reading comprehension and watching the society.

I began to think that weakness was good. Because there are too many strong people in the world who speak, admit their mistakes and speak again. They are laughing at the public. We were lonely, for a long time, for a long afternoon, no one wrote to us. We wait and wait, a new voice.

At this time, the man tells a story. He drinks the foreign Bourbon wine in his memory, the songs of his hometown are loud and clear, the words are jumping in the dark, and the friends in his life are like angels, bringing light and warmth.

She wrote it down to light up the lights for us in the dark. How light the language is, how heavy the words are.

These words shine in the night, so that we can look up to the direction of departure or return.

Celebrity recommendation:

When she writes about Hong Kong, her reference point is Taipei; when she writes about Taipei, her contrast point is Hong Kong; when she looks at these two cities, she also thinks about the Hualien countryside where she grew up and the American towns where she lived; no matter how time and geographical coordinates swim, where she went to travel or live or live, in the final analysis, her life experience, as well as mine, is still an inseparable one A Taiwanese woman named Wenqing.

- Hu Qingfang's recommendation

It's a light reading material that office workers would like to read with books on the subway. It's also a nostalgic secret record of a specific group in a specific time and space. In emotion, it is the beginning of Chen Da's thought and the song of jonbeya. It is both restrained and passionate, intellectual and individual.

- Preface to Zhong Xiaoyang's recommendation

Her writing about travel, love, hometown and writing is so light and hard for her. Lightness means that all those who have experienced are well placed in their positions; such exertion is to remember, to keep, or to throw away.

- editor Chen Huihui's words

Letter

After the last period, you become a different person.

A special collection of essays, a special writer.

I began to despise language, not only as a stand and attitude, but also as a way of life.

Zhangjiayu, like his prose, is always silent, which makes the light language precipitate and ripens with time.

Her words are the keys to extinguish the voice in your mind. You read the reader, and the world is only yourself.

You may not hear her, but reading her words is a revolution. It's bloodless and full of music and cigars.
