With the New Territories West as the background
Write the novel of the first generation of the 21st century
Using literature and life as means of resistance

When we think we have missed a great era, we turn around and find that we are already in another great era.

The changes in society are unexpected, and in the great era, personal stories are buried. Wang Zhengheng starts with love stories. Underneath each love story that takes place in the West New Territories, there is the naked situation of human survival and struggle - how can we live in secret in this city and era, but at the same time resist the real life?

The daily life of Tuen Mun, Tin Shui Wai and Yuen Long described by Wong Cheng-hang has been ignored by society and rarely appears in literary works. However, he concentrated on writing about this area, meticulously recording the quality of life there and the appearance of the lower class living there. Marginal characters in the West New Territories have unique aesthetics. The author uses his works to show how they create their own unique survival model while navigating a mainstream that is deaf to them. The low-class characters in the collection include the truck driver in "The Truck Returning to the South", the construction workers in "The Silent Bruise", the gangsters in "Insects", the prostitutes from the South, etc. The author observes them from the perspective of friends. , bringing their psychology, passion, hardship, struggles, scars, flesh and blood, laughter and tears to the readers again, and the characters’ intentional or unintentional destructive behavior also silently brings greater resistance power to literature.
