Kai-Min Lu’s work "Beloved Mark Laurin" tells the story of his family’s flower shop adapting to the changes of the times. From the perfectly structured Mark Laurin sequence, the author not only learns the spirit of controlling complexity by simplicity, but also resets the core value of the thought "Localization is equivalent to internationalization." “Humanity is the core”—this is the ultimate way to treat his customers. Bai-Jun Wang shared his experience of learning triploid through "The Secret of Triploid.," The painstaking and interesting process of his getting inspired impressed the audience and made everyone smile.

Yun-Ting Lui’s new poem "The Last Invisible Body" was awarded with special honor in prose. With the coordinate system between the points, she vividly and sharply explained the intimacy established in between.
