"Summer Night Flowers" is a collection of essays that leaves the Buddhist tradition and embraces the fireworks of the world. Writer Huang Ai Dongxi pours into words the people, feelings, objects and events that have been engraved in her life over time. She does not make any announcements, let alone persuasion, and only expresses her knowledge and attitude towards life in the most comfortable way. The book includes "Basics of Life" about shopping for groceries, cooking, and describing ordinary days. From the author's free and uninhibited writing, we can experience the daily life of the old city of Guangzhou. Visiting tea restaurants and tasting Cantonese restaurants are like walking in the streets and alleys, appreciating the fireworks and enchanting customs in the world. These backgrounds of life are the basics of life, giving you the courage to start all over again no matter what setbacks and encounters you encounter. Chapter 2 "What is Love" is an alternative discussion of various love affairs that goes straight to the truth. It is the insight and wisdom accumulated over half a lifetime. "Summer Night Flowers" is an unintentional unfolding of the author's true feelings. As mortals, every day is the rest of our lives, and we must live it well.
