This is a poetic novella. Life is a manifold existence. We live at once in the past, present and future. Swordsman, Poet and Phantom, the three parts constituting the Chinese soul on which this book centers, can be considered both living in trinity and having their separate lives. The book is exclusively about one character. If there are other characters, they are only reflections in the mirror of his mind. The book is exclusively about the internal world of the character. If there are happenings of the external world, they are only the embodiments of his ideas or feelings. Bearing the above in mind, the reader will be able to enter the labyrinth of the book and find the way out. And if the reader already has some knowledge of China, it will be helpful.
