At the same time, because she shows concern in this book for the daily, common problems of urban life and doesn't emphasize big political problems as she did in her last collection, the book has not surprisingly been able to attract Taiwan's intellectuals, who are gradually getting fed up with Taiwan's politics.
同時也因為她在書中更關切一般都市生活的「日常問題」，而不像前一本小說那樣特別著重政治的大問題，因此更能吸引逐漸對台灣政治冷感的知識階層，也就不足為奇了。
