Lin Xi - Pīn mìng wú yàng - Taiwanese Edition (Paperback) - Limited Hong Kong & Macau

Author: Lin Xi Publisher: Bright Light Publishing Size: 148mm x 210mm Pages: 312 ISBN: 978-626-95445-1-6 [Introduction] ***The Taiwanese edition of "拚命無恙" (Pīn mìng wú yàng) is largely the same as the Hong Kong edition, with minor differences in Taiwanese colloquialisms and the cover design. "拼命無恙" is a synonym for Lin Xi's message to everyone: "I am doing well!" 2019 and 2020 feel like they've fused into a single stone, a stone that resides within our hearts. Why not find peace with this stone? There are times for tranquility, for quieting the long inner battles and reflecting. There are times for strength, when nerves are taut from being too resilient; why not allow yourself to be vulnerable? There are times for sadness, when you can't overcome your own struggles; perhaps it's time to let go. Living diligently, striving earnestly, especially in extraordinary times, is how we must preserve our daily lives. This collection of nearly a hundred modern poems intertwined with prose mirrors the ebb and flow of our emotions. It evokes fleeting memories of brief, poetic youth, and shares reflections on the appreciation of incense rituals, tea ceremonies, calligraphy, and painting. Isn't this a form of healing? Sometimes the process is more important than the outcome. For "as your days are, so shall your strength be." To remain unscathed, one must continue to live fully. To be a better, more useful person, one must first strive to be "拼命無恙." [Author Biography] Lin Xi Graduated from the University of Hong Kong's Faculty of Arts, majoring in Translation.
