Somewhere in the world there is a remote island. The sea. Lush hills. The impenetrable forest. The constantly changing weather. In a lodge by the sea, a Chinese writer immersing herself in reading and writing encounters a Japanese girl who is in a melancholic mood. “Have you ever seen something after its disappearance?” the girl asks. “Where are we right now?” the writer asks. “Somewhere in the past,” the girl answers.
