"Tengo's Notes" is a masterpiece by novelist Shuang Xuetao. Tengo, an awakened man with only 100 hours to live, encounters Xiaojiu, a girl whose memory is fading, on the streets of Taipei. He searches for a church taller than Taipei 101, where the secret of his missing childhood friend, Ange, lies. Taipei and Tohoku, a story of two cities where reality and time intertwine, unfolds in eleven "notes" born on the borders of life and death, fantasy and reality. A quest between the future and memories unfolds: the whereabouts of the young girl, Ange; the uncertain fate of police officer Jiang Bufan; Mu Tianning, a woman from City S. Can Li Tianwu, trudging along the banks of the Tamsui River, solve the mystery and complete his mission?
