There are frustrated businessmen drinking alone in a noodle shop late at night, and international students revising their graduation thesis on a cross-country flight; from the ceremonial feeling of a market stall owner writing a price list with chalk, to the philosophical conversations that accidentally burst out in the tea room of a major Internet company, each fragment is a reflection of the soul's temporary residence in the world, digging out the existential propositions hidden in the daily folds, seeing the metaphor of interstellar migration in the crowds of the subway during the morning rush hour, and discovering the intertextuality of fate in the missing pages of old books in second-hand bookstores. The text does not provide a guide to life, but it builds an oasis pavilion for all travelers trekking in the desert of time.
Concept: A collection of essays that uses human fireworks as a canvas to collage an ukiyo-e of contemporary life through independent yet implicitly connected stories.
