"Love cannot be expressed on paper, it will always be expressed in flesh and blood."


Following "Metabolic Exile in the Peaceful Age" and "Wonderland", the final chapter of the "Mobile Trilogy"──

Because about love, people always talk too much and say too little. Macau poet Yuan Siu-shan sings about the evolution of love in her poems, incorporating our various imaginations and aspects of love. Love is an eternal topic, but love is not eternal. All the poet can do is record it well. This collection of poems is divided into three chapters: "Evolutionary History", "Local Chronicles" and "Encyclopedia", with a total of ninety-two poems, focusing on the theme of love and flow.

You may ask, what is the relationship between love and flow? You might as well think about it, how many women in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, migrated to other places for the sake of marriage? If gender identity is fluid, should the norms of love also be re-examined? The foreign helpers who take care of your children, maybe they look forward to their children in their hometown every night? Therefore, Yuan Shaoshan tried to reorganize, organize, explore and summarize love in this generation that seeks diverse families, gender fluidity, equal rights between men and women, and even free sex.

The poet believes that love cannot stand still, but can only evolve or degenerate, deepen or decrease, increase or be depleted. The view of love in the 21st century may not have become better than before, but can we have a broader mind and courage, allow love to break away from prejudices and conventions, and make happiness more possible?

As a reader, if you have ever despaired of love, then this collection of poems is dedicated to you. I only hope that after reading it, you can love this collapsed but beautiful world, and gain true freedom in the longing or memory of love.
