The material consists of ten novels, divided into two groups: one focusing on Hong Kong, including "Visitors", "Servant", "Apology", and "Visiting Time", while the other group features stories set in Canada and other overseas locations. Two articles, "Gutenberg Revolution" and "Because of the Sand", intersect both settings. Throughout Wei De's stories, two distinct characteristics emerge: a dramatic and meticulous (at times exaggerated) depiction of events. For instance, in "Servant", the plain characters are portrayed dramatically, each with a touch of legend. Wei De's "dramatic" storytelling uncovers extraordinary elements in ordinary life, as seen in the "weird guest" in "Inside Line 101", Yizhi and Yunisa in "Because of the Sand", and the encounters detailed in "Cough", evoking smiles from readers. Wei De's descriptive prowess shines through, transforming his observations into vivid imagery. While some readers may find his deliberate pace akin to prose rather than novels, his unique approach offers a different kind of literary experience.
