This is a collection of short stories featuring a variety of characters the author has encountered during her world travels.
In the book, we read of a hermit in the old town of Yunnan, an adventurer of Yangshuo, a viscountess from Paris, an Irish armed force, a Shanghai surgeon, a mountain carrier in Anhui, a Inner Mongolian craftsman, a soldier at the border of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, a photographer from Beijing and a wine house in the Village of Nowhere…
All of them, as Sun Wei once said, “came into my life and shared with me the legends along the way. So long as I keep going, I will see more of them. For the moment, I need to pause to write them down. Because I know as time goes by, I will eventually forget when and where I met them. I want to record them in my book so that we could live together happily ever after in the Village of Nowhere.
“Those are all lovely people. I wish I could see them again someday.”
