There are many ways to outline existence. Li Jingze's "Symposium" series of prose has a formal sense of a cosmic star map: the writer uses the cultural appetite and structural ability to swallow the stars and the moon, swaying the fuel of words and objects, imagination and experience, and strictly controls the detonation and soaring of the narrative. Each piece of material that falls off accurately reaches the star path of its meaning due to some implicit subjective will. This is a kind of heavy lightness, a response to the question of "how to write" in an era when knowledge and experience are equally important. Behind the rhetorical innovation lies the writer's overall thinking about literature, philosophy and faith: re-questioning what literature is, what is the content and form of literature, and how literature should organize itself and the world.

They are human beings, just like us. They are gods, the stars in our hearts, illuminating our darkness and light.

Like an archaeologist, Li Jingze travels through the vast historical texts, collecting clues and fragments to weave an intricate picture of the bygone era. He tried to find those people hidden in the back and corners of history, those messengers who had conveyed civilization between the East and the West. He identified their traces in the heavy shadows and listened to their unclear and intermittent voices: he made our eyes stop again. Reflecting on those long past events, we will be intoxicated with "sinking water, ambergris and roses"; we may imagine the "Silver Tree of Boucher"; or we may travel far away with the "Eight Sounds of Ganzhou" in our hearts; more likely, we will focus on the figure of the Christian missionary Matteo Ricci. In imagination, things that have passed away are vividly displayed again. People who have communicated between the East and the West are like bluebirds, flying across the sky. Their flying paths and postures are imagined and engraved.
