This book contains twelve beautiful essays, about the intersection between the Tawu people and modern society, the experience and understanding of returning to traditional culture as an educated Tawu man who was "polluted" by Taiwan, his love for the ocean, his thoughts on life, and his national identity... The text of this book is beautiful and moving, and at the same time it opens a window for contemporary readers to see a world far away from the values of modern civilization. On a small island, the people on the island build trees and boats, cast nets to shoot fish, believe in nature, and sing songs... The author is not trying to satisfy people's curiosity. He seriously returns to traditional life. He is also shaken and has doubts. In the process of understanding culture, he thinks more about the value of life, the meaning of survival, power and beauty, and conveys it to contemporary readers. It is very worth reading.
