This book contains eight short stories, including "The Jellyfish Tide," "The Horseshoe Crab's Journey," "The Seaside Labyrinth," and "The Razor Clam's Love." Using marine life as imagery and women's stories as a foundation, the author recounts the life trajectories of seven female protagonists from their youth to old age, showcasing their sensitivity and strength. For example, the horseshoe crab, a symbol of "undersea mandarin ducks," explores the intimate relationships between husband and wife, and mother and daughter; the razor clam shell metaphorically expresses the need for women to have their own place in the world; the whiteness of the cuttlefish bone reminds us that a woman's charm does not fade with age; and the phrase "I wish to be a pair of mandarin ducks, not envying the immortals" speaks of an enviable marital relationship.
