This is a preliminary cover for a book I'm working on. The Land of Sorrow was originally published in Chinese as 家国一梦, and had won the Taiwan Overseas Federation Literature Award for Outstanding Fiction in 2021. It's a story that touched the heart of many. I'm deeply grateful to my Chinese readers who have shown overwhelming support. I hope to have the English edition published in late 2026
