Temple

Fourteen novel and colorful short and medium-length novels fuse imagination and poetry, classicism and modernity. Some are new spins of stories, such as "Inside the Temple" and "New Year's Eve"; some depict the people and events of modern Hong Kong, such as "Opposition," "Chain," "Quarrel," "Mr. and Mrs. Hertz," "Dragon Beard Candy and Hot Sugarcane," and "Holy Water"; and some explore the philosophy of life, such as "Cockroach"...
This collection of classic novels, compiled in 1977, is full of creativity and excellence in every chapter. Its stylistic experiments in seeking novelty and difference demonstrate the cutting-edge and spirit of modern novels. It still amazes people today and makes them sigh after reading it: It turns out that novels can be written like this!

 Melancholy is planted in the soil of the dreamland, and melancholy is the seed of happiness.
 Is the purpose of God creating life to prove death?
Life is so fragile, as brittle as a piece of glass. In that instant, perhaps one thousandth of a second, one ten-thousandth of a second, or one hundred-thousandth of a second, in short, a very short moment, the boundary between life and death is clearly drawn.
He thought of a line from T. S. Eliot. He couldn't recall the poem, but he remembered that Eliot had said in it: "The world will not end with a bang, it will end with a sob."
