The Card Apprentice

This is both a work of science fiction and an exploration of the meaning of life, love, literature and art. Brainpower is no longer the main ingredient for being human in this far distant future world. Spirituality, physical balance, and diligence all come together as integrity for Chen Mu, the Card Apprentice. The cards which Chen Mu masters in his own scrappy way, distill all the powers of the cosmos – human and nonhuman – into something that is not a book, not technology, and neither art nor magic, but is these and more. Learn about these strange cards, which can embody everything you might imagine for the future of technology, but also a future beyond technology which promotes the best, and sometimes the worst, from mankind’s past.

A Gifted Composition (II)

That was Chen Mu's first time to use the "weak water" pen set after he had gotten it, but nothing about the way he used it made him look like an unfamiliar beginner. He picked up a slanted blade pen with his right hand and very carefully put the tip of it into the green stone bowl. Then he inserted two more different types of card marking pens.

Bo Wen's gaze was fixed on what was in the green bowl. He wasn't concerned about the "weak water," since although there weren't may such collectible items in the clan, there weren't so few either. All his attention was drawn to the clear liquid in the bowl. Whether it was its rich fragrance at the outset, or the subtle fragrance just then, they were fragrances that only the finest spices could produce. While one might say that he had been a little bit uncertain, he had become certain by then that the clear liquid in the small bowl was priceless.
