This book is a collection of outstanding works by the young writer Lin Sen in recent years. The main titles include "The Sea Breeze Is Cold This Year", "Typhoon", "The Wood Bearer", etc. In "The Sea Breeze Is Cold", three men, two young and one old, each face some kind of spiritual crisis that breaks their lives, whether to sink or to be saved, which is worth pondering.

In "The Woodcarrier", the tragic encounter between two sons and a father vaguely points to the mother's escape many years ago.

This book contains five short stories. "Spending a Long Summer with an Ice Coconut" describes the long, hot summer in Hainan Island, with the urban-rural fringe as the narrative background, mixed with the chaotic and disorderly living conditions of all kinds of people in urban villages on the edge. After graduation, Shaoling, "I" and other ants, who have low incomes and rent old houses, are hopeless and depressed. The social and economic chaos has led to the increasingly depressed mood of these ants. The emotions and lives of young people, their nowhere-to-place youth, confused and ambiguous emotions, and unforgettable desires. The spiritual crisis faced by the noisy and turbulent material age. The protagonist's love attitude can represent the love ethics of some young men and women at the bottom of the city.

The storyteller who insists on "being a good person and dying with dignity" in the smart era of "zero death"; the editor who founded "0" magazine to erase the author's memory; the "imaginary enemy" who manipulates public accounts to harvest traffic dividends but is counterattacked; the poet who is accustomed to being silent in chat groups and can only capture sudden inspiration in the gaps of life... This new collection of short stories by Lin Sen, a representative writer born in the 1980s, is both a fantasy journey and a real comfort.
