Lung Ying-tai's debut novel offers a multi-faceted narrative, exploring the philosophical journey of youth growth and serving as an encyclopedic "museum novel." It presents the history of humans, the vast universe, geology, animals, and plants on a singular axis, portraying the state of human existence in a magical and encompassing manner. The story unfolds on Lantau Island in Hong Kong and then shifts its focus to Dawu Mountain in Pingtung, Taiwan. It follows an unnamed writer, who, after leaving the countryside at fourteen, embarks on a life of wandering. Upon returning to the village she left fifty years ago, she encounters a mysterious fourteen-year-old girl. As they traverse the ancient road of a hundred years, the narrative delves into the profound themes of love, regret, pain, reluctance, death, and time, unfolding like a tightly folded fragrant handkerchief.

This time, she embarks on a journey to mainland China in the early 21st century, where progress, stagnation, and even regression of history coexist. Lung Ying-tai's articles captivate readers with their fiery gaze and independent spirit, exuding an extraordinary sense of vigor and power.

I can't help but contemplate the individual who initially chose the Bauhinia as the symbolic flower of Hong Kong: were they unaware of the Bauhinia's history as a sterile hybrid, or did they shrewdly recognize that its mixed heritage, stunning beauty, unexpected emergence, and inability to reproduce independently parallel the legend of Hong Kong itself? When the world gazes upon Hong Kong, it encompasses more than just the familiar hotels and commercial structures; it embodies the city's intricate and mysterious story. It evokes the city's multifaceted and enduring spirit that surpasses the austere and impersonal architecture.

Thirty years ago, I wrote "Collection of Wildfire" during a repressive and silent era. Now, after three decades, we find ourselves in a noisy and outspoken era. The book encourages shouting and action during timid times and emphasizes the need for deep thinking and discernment in the midst of noise. With thirty years of wisdom, we understand that progress requires both courage and wisdom. Today's post-90s generation must possess the vision, confidence, and resilience to face the challenges and changes of our time.
