Exposure - Li Jiayi's Prose Collection

A journey is an awakening The book of memory, the book of redemption ❝Before all this comes to the last silver, before death and oblivion come, I can live in this posture, in order to identify myself, to prove: this is only my landscape, this is only All I have seen, felt, experienced: this is my exposure. This is my only exposure. ❞ -<exposure> The world may be dark, but the eyes staring at the world must remain clear and calm in order to recognize memories that belong to our eyes alone. Since the author started writing, he has experienced many long or short sojourns in Las Vegas, Vancouver, Victoria Island and Thailand. During the journey and the interval between back and forth, the author silently observes and records the lives of himself and others with his gentle and clear eyes, and inquires about history and personal destiny in a small way. Since then, the journey has become an awakening again and again. The scenery in front of me is passing by, and the memory is shining with beams of thorns. In the slight pain, the author reviews the privacy of his family and the difficulties in his personal life, staring at the scars between the poetic words, feeling the pain. The truth of life, the shackles between people. During the break, the author tried to retreat behind the crowd as a traveler and silently observe the stories of others. This book contains 8 long essays related to the journey, which are the selected works or award-winning works of the author since he started writing; and 5 short reading records are interspersed among them, which are read and experienced on the road with the author. Recommended words There is no "theatre" in this book. Perhaps, there is no such "theatre" as imagined, that kind of experience theater that is often performed in the literary field of prose. What it shows is not so much the details of the experience site, but rather the viewing window aimed at the experience site, the loops and concave folds of the inner parts. —Yan Shuxia (Taiwanese writer) "Exposure" is more direct about life and intervenes in history. And what remains the same is to find the light beam, subtle or violent. —Wang Chengheng (Hong Kong writer) On the journey of narrative sprawl, the body must leap over many boundaries, allowing the mind to encounter those unpredictable and vulnerable moments, and to endure the bruises without words. Time wobbles, you have to use such words, such a sentence arrangement, like a song to call, the self who has been staggered from you again and again between the long night and the eternal day, the us who are burned by love and hope. — Li Zhiliang (Hong Kong writer) This is a book of redemption. Between the wandering reading and traveling, the author carefully edits and magnifies the shimmer and shadow of life, as if only by staring at the unevenness of light and shadow, can we hope to return to those obscure life scenes again and again, insight and redemption between our fingers Hastily flowed away, gold in the sands of time. "Exposure" profoundly demonstrates a morality of viewing—beauty is not captured, but the experience of being "burned" willingly. — Xie Xiaohong (Hong Kong writer)
