This book uses Zheng He's voyages to the West as the overt thread and the love story of Menglong and Fangfang as the undercurrent. After traveling around the West, it introduces the adventures on the sea, the customs and folk customs of various places, and the fantastic experiences at that time. It tells the twists and turns, joys and sorrows of Menglong and Fangfang. In the end, it ends tragically with Fangfang marrying the emperor and Menglong abandoning the world of mortals and becoming a monk. It exposes the reality of the supremacy of imperial power in ancient times and the painful experience of lovers unable to finally get married. This reflects the author's yearning for the freedom of love. Thought-provoking and intriguing------The author of this book incorporates his own literary and artistic ideas--promoting "super-sensation" and writing about "smart beauty" (introduced in my other work "Searching for Relatives in the Sea of Art"). The combination of Chinese and Western, Chinese stories, Western stream of consciousness, romanticism, aestheticism, montage, symbolism, and the use of traditional Japanese aesthetics (mysterious, sadistic, elegance, and spirit) and other literary and artistic techniques make the article read like an impressionistic art work imprinted in the reader's mind, which is beautiful and smart. It can produce masterpieces with strong lineups like "King Kong" and "Shrek".
Purpose: To criticize the reality of the supremacy of imperial power in ancient times and the painful experience of lovers unable to get married. This reflects the author's yearning for the freedom of love.
