Ah Feng

I've always wanted to write a story that would awaken something deep in the soul, but I didn't know how to begin. So, when I first started writing, I drew on the dreams I'd always wanted to fulfill and shaped the story according to my own ideas. As I wrote, I kept wondering how to craft the characters just right. But before long, I found myself immersed in them, weaving everything I saw and heard into the story. As I kept writing, it came alive, and everything simply unfolded as it would.

This novel follows two protagonists, A Deng and A Lai. They live in the same world but follow different paths. They don't know each other, yet share the same soul. The subtle changes between them affect each other in turn. Perhaps they represent two sides of one person, or perhaps a person's past and present lives.

The novel touches on the beauty of architecture, abstract concepts in technology, and a few things I personally love, such as Tsangyang Gyatso and related Buddhist teachings. This beauty creates more room for the soul, more hope, and more memories that never fade. Perhaps, above all, it is a way of expressing emotions.

As I worked on the characters, I unknowingly wove in parts of my own past and some of my hopes. I also included the beauty I only noticed after it was gone, and the thought that perhaps if things had gone differently, I wouldn't be who I am today.
