This book includes the entire content of the author's three previously published poetry books: "The Collection of Thoughts", "Mirage", and "Meditation at the Foot of the Himalayas" . Among them are the internationally acclaimed long epics: "The Kiss of a Poppy Flower", "Mirage" and the recently published, magnificent long epic "Meditation at the Foot of the Himalayas".The poet uses extremely sensitive language and, guided by his intuition, carries out a spiritual journey full of imagination and humanity. It extensively displays life, history, emotions, thoughts and regional cultures rich in humanistic feelings. The content includes both ordinary daily life scenes and major historical events that are of great significance to human society.Through sometimes extremely subtle and sometimes extremely grand imaginations, these poems express a broad and far-reaching humanistic vision and are the most outstanding poems of our times! Starting from specific realistic scenes, the poet unfolds extended descriptions layer by layer, gradually entering the level of the spiritual world, visualizing the spiritual illusion into a real and perceptible visual image, and performing it from different angles and levels. The profound analysis of human nature presents a deep humanitarian spirit and deep humanistic care, and demonstrates the author's deep humanistic thoughts and qualities as a humanist.In this barbaric world where science and technology are relatively advanced, but humanistic ideas are very backward or even regressive, and it calls itself a "civilized society", the development of science and technology has brought more disasters and unpredictability to mankind. The ugliness, selfishness, greed, division and alienation of human nature are fully exposed. The poet's humanistic vision is a unique cultural phenomenon that exists as a rebellion against the contemporary decadent mainstream culture. These poems not only reveal human nature in a broad sense, but also reveal the split, alienation and depravity between the spirit and human nature of our era, and explore the possibility of redemption of the human spirit. Therefore, they are not only the most outstanding contemporary poems, but also outstanding works with the most humane thoughts and humanistic care in contemporary literature.

The birth of this unusual epic poem was formed by mystique instinct forces, as the poet states: "The writing process of this epic poem satisfied my desire for grand poetry. It is a courageous challenge to the boundaries of imagination and spirit. Like a sailor sailing in the sea, I have no way to retreat but to move forward to the unknown shore.In the past few years, I have picked up the pen to write this epic poem several times, had to put it down in disappointment and then forgot about it. I have to thank a magical night, many beautiful poetry lines crowded into my dreams until I woke up. The epic of dozens of pages long, had already completed its prototype at that moment.Therefore, only half of this collection of the epic poem was written by me using my own brainpower. Some of the images and sentences were automatically formed in dreams. It is the result of the perfect combination of unconsciousness, subconsciousness and consciousness. The sentences formed unconsciously in my sleep continued to flow out in disorder in my subconscious mind. Later, in my consciousness, I struggled to build them into palace-like lines of poetry. Like an insatiable chef, I wandered between thousands of seasonings, colors, and flavors before making my final choice. My thoughts and imagination revolved around the subject, describing it from different angles and levels, in order to achieve a broad and profound effect.In this increasingly chaotic and corrupt world, how much I miss those days of beautiful literature and hungry readers. I wholeheartedly want to add a touch of literary beauty to this era, and I hope that the publication of this epic poem can fulfill my wish."

Those nameless touches, sorrows and tears of life have made me realize the meaning of this life. Although they were shaking apart, silent in the tunnel of time. With the infiltration of the years, they have developed unconsciously, blending with the emotions of reality and inspiring new and strong emotions. In this uneasy and complicated state of mind, I felt the need to record these feelings.A person could have many lives, every morning woke up from dreams, I regarded myself have regained a new life, and because of this, filled with appreciation to people and this world, however, a person could only have one spiritual home that deeply rooted in the soul, defined himself who he was, awaking him at midnight, calling him to return. This was the reason I kept writing poetry.Only in the poetry lines did I find the true hometown of my soul."

If you want to comprehend the critical contemporary life, you need to read this book.I regard myself as a surgeon when writing this book, my intention is to show the wounds and damage of the present society. In those sick years, the split of human nature and pain in society were so deep, and also so widespread. The stories in this book are only a slice of present painstaking life revealed by the author. To overlook or deny them means living in lies. Having pain is good for finding out the bottom line a human being can suffer. We may get through, may not get through, it depends.This is a psychic description about the reality and beyond the reality. Timid readers, please prepare yourselves for the coming encounters!There was a spiritual walker whose routine daily schedule was going to bed at six in the morning, which meant whose life activities were mainly based on nightlife. Naturally who saw unusual things happened more than other people, recently becoming more and more tragic, more and more intense. The most impressive happening was the roars, which were everywhere in the city, sometimes like lion's, sometimes as bear's, occasionally similar to hyena's. The roars were like a disease spreading so rapidly around here, the place I was talking about was New York City, the city of roars, the birth of rebellious souls.If you didn't know the roars, you didn't know real New York even you had lived here for decades, because you were staying on the surface of the city life, did not touch the psychic level which had made this city to a drama generator, a jungle field displaying everything from minor mischief to tragic meaningless deaths. The dividing line between the nature of humans and the nature of animals had disappeared. The roars seemingly were overwhelming all over the city. Those stories happening in this book were nothing about the good or the bad, just overflowing as nature went, also which were nothing about beasts, animals, or ghosts and vampires. They were about something that actually happened, from odd appearances to the deep inside out, they were not fantasies, but much more fantasies than a fantasy could carry, and they were real!In the whole human history, one truth never changed: The weak were slaughtered or slaved by the strong, and the strong defined what was the meaning of justice with whatever means, who always covered their evil intentions with the colorful images of an angel. The aftermath was the birth of roarers, those who disregarded the established social rules, acting according to their own will.Certainly the roarers were produced by the cruelty and torment of contemporary human life. Maybe you are a roarer which you don't know. After you finish reading this book, you will find out the conclusion. Even if you are not a roarer, you still need to look through this book, because nowadays it is impossible to walk around the city without encountering the danger of a roarer. It will be a very disadvantageous situation if you encounter roarers who you know nothing about.The protagonists introduced in this book were in New York, but could be anywhere in the world.
