At least once in his life every man becomes part of Adam's body, that is the moment of revelation. Only this short period of time is light and belongs to oneself. The rest of the time is darkness and is used by others. This moment of revelation is what the Khazars call a "dream." The purpose of the Khazar dream catchers is to collect these moments and piece together the body of Adam... The Khazar king wanted to convert to a religion and choose one of the three religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, so representatives of Christianity (Orthodox), Judaism, and Islam in Constantinople gathered in the Khazar capital and held a "Khazar Debate." The three religions each have their own opinions on the outcome of the debate. Since the history written by the Khazars themselves has been lost to obscurity, the results of this great debate can only be supported by Christian, Jewish and Islamic documents. However, the results recorded by the three religions are contradictory, and they all believe that their religion has won the victory. So at the end of the seventeenth century (that is, hundreds of years later), a Khazar dictionary came out, which included records of debates between the three major sects. The book was divided into three parts, namely the Red Book, the Green Book, and the Yellow Book, which recorded the respective opinions of the three major sects.

The philosophical discussion of the nature of existence and the passionate passion for poetic aesthetics are combined into another rare work after "Less than One".

Grandpa and Noah sat on a bench in the square, sharing their obsession with math and numbers. Every day, the walk home becomes longer and longer, and everything around me becomes blurry. Grandpa knew that his memories were gradually passing away, and he could only hold Noah's hand tightly, hoping to make Noah disappear in the end. Sometimes sitting next to Grandpa is his son Ted. Ted doesn't like math and only likes writing and guitar. Throughout his life, he has been waiting for his father to accompany him, encourage him and recognize him. The forgotten things are remembered again, the resentful ones are finally forgiven, and we miss someone who is still alive. We should all learn how to say goodbye.
