This book is a collection of Huang Liqun's essays that she has not seen for many years. It draws on the poetry of Lu You's "I and the raccoon slave never go out" to write down the home philosophy of contemporary urbanites. The content of the sixth series cuts through life with cold words. Who is the winner in life? It's better to pet the cat at home. As the author said: "Anything you regret has been done anyway, and anything you don't regret will eventually fade away. You have to end if you refuse to end, and you have to start if you are too lazy to start."

"Room by the Sea" is a collection of short stories by Taiwan's new generation novelist Huang Liqun. Twelve bad people, twelve breathtakingly good stories. The novelist crafts elegant and precise Chinese language, and cleverly arranges it to neatly chop up the joys and sorrows of the world, and writes about a cold world of urban eccentrics: an abandoned daughter and adoptive father in an old apartment, a fortune teller and a sick son in the country, a sleepwalking homeboy, a middle-aged woman living alone and a calico cat... The playful language and unexpected frozen endings, as well as the meticulous observation of ordinary people, constitute the unique textual tension of the work. Impermanence is often the most ordinary. Huang Liqun's writings about worldly affairs are warm and cold, touching the hearts and secrets of the ordinary market, the passion and sorrow of frustrated people, and our daily difficulties and loneliness.
