Flemish mirror

◎ Editor's Recommendation★ An original novel with the temperament of a classic, its unique language texture and exotic cultural background make this novel transcend national boundaries and fully demonstrate the various possibilities of "new overseas Chinese writing".
★ In this nested story box, time interweaves, images overlap, plots weave in, people and events mirror each other, opening up cracks in history.
★ Religion and history, freedom and authority, dreams and reality, friendship and sacrifice overlap on the same land. The author uses the power of narrative to perfectly interpret the beliefs, friendship and destiny that transcend time and space.

The story unfolds in the dialogue and is embedded in the dialogue, like an infinite mirror, reflecting the abyss of history and the core of love.
“Friendship is not only born between familiar people. People can build a solid passion based on their admiration for distant people. There is no need to distinguish between friendship and love, because friendship is derived from the word love…”
