This book is an interpretation of the classic "Journey to the West" from a unique perspective. The author starts from many details of the original work, takes each character as a perspective, and through his whimsical interpretation, presents a three-dimensional world of gods, Buddhas, mortals, and spirits constructed in "Journey to the West". There are four chapters in the book, namely "The Struggle of Spirits", "The World of Gods and Buddhas", "The Destiny of Mortals" and "The Protagonist's Journey". The author re-examines each character. From a new perspective, monsters may make people sad or admirable, gods are no longer thin and full of fireworks, and the fate of mortals makes people sigh and empathize.

"Island Stories" is a collection of works with a documentary quality. The author was born and grew up on the island in the story, from a fishing village to a small town and then to a city. Looking back on the past, the author sealed a period of time and space with warm and calm observation, and then transformed it into 17 stories included in the book. This special way of remembering gives the author the freedom to create and imagine. The author tries to use the three dimensions of "people, things, and places" to construct the local changes and human relationships during the growth process, and create a common growth memory for a generation of young people in a small town. Therefore, in these stories there are craftsmen, gamblers, fishermen, barefoot doctors, fishing villages, small towns, streets, and fields. These stories are intertwined together to create a space where the past events are reminisced into stories and properly placed.
