What we arrive at is what we left, and what we lose is what we want to pursue.

The Taroko boy who chased the white dog, and the Han girl who ran away because she did not want to be sold by her father, each entered the cave from different villages - they did not know that they were entering the "inner bottom" of a giant ( lāi-tué).

A crab-eating mongoose, whose paws were cut off by a trapper's pincers, hid under the giant's eyelashes when his life was hanging by a thread and gradually recovered. The surviving three-legged crab-eating mongoose discovered some secrets while traveling between giants and tribes.

Knibu, also known as Haifeng Village, is located in the mountains on the eastern side of the island. In this small village where aborigines, Han people, ancestors and gods moved here at different times, a woman held her child's hand. My daughter is standing at the door of "Sea Breeze Karaoke"; on the other side of the mountainside in the village, they are preparing to dig a shaft out of the mountain, and the equipment for mining cement has been set up.

In this longitudinal valley village at the intersection of two major plates, mythology and the human world, birth and death, the people gathered here because of fate look at the mountains with one eye and the sea with the other - what will be their decision?

Wu Mingyi said: "This novel is not constructed with historical scenes. Of course, its building materials are so real that it is not all a dream. But I deliberately keep it distanced from reality. I hope readers can enjoy the narrative time and space in the novel and then form their own The idea." The plot, characters, and scenes of the novel may correspond to reality, or they may be dream-like and make people unable to follow the pictures; the journey of the story is not spring, summer, autumn, and winter, or it may be in a season that is neither spring, summer, autumn, or winter. . Every person, every thing, every mountain, every stream and building is a node, a foldable arrow, leading the people in the novel, and us as readers, to the cave exit of the future and the unknown. .

After seven years, Wu Mingyi brings this novel to readers after "The Stolen Bicycle". When you open the page, it may also be the beginning of a new season for the author.

*"The Man with Compound Eyes" won the Prix du Livre Insulaire in France, and was selected as a candidate for the Books at Berlinale (Berlinale - Berlin International Film Festival) in Germany and the overseas feature section of the Seiun Awards Nominees in Japan. This is Wu Mingyi's latest novel after "Bicycle Stolen", which was shortlisted for the British Man Booker International Prize.
