Bi Ming

[Hong Kong novelist Chu Pui-kwan]

Although Bi Ming doesn't specialize in writing ghost stories, he excels at creating a chilling atmosphere with his words, making readers feel uneasy even while holding the book... Scene after scene of terrifying events kept me in a state of panic for over a week, and it's still going on... or maybe forever. You tell me, if he's not the King of Ghosts, then who is he?

...From the very first sentence of "The Guardian," Bi Ming led me into a bloody and brutal world (Ghost King, you're scaring me again...). Reading this work on public transport, I was truly astonished that Bi Ming's words could completely immerse me in the story, detaching me from the real-life scene.

If you've been following the "Scary Theater" series, you'll likely recognize the main characters in this book! You might even feel a strange sense of familiarity. If so, this book will definitely make you grit your teeth. Let me give you a sneak peek: in *The Guardians*, familiar characters will face different fates… Bi Ming's ruthlessness will force readers to confront a profound contrast between warmth and cruelty! Frankly, I was frowning the whole time I read. Bi Ming, how could you be so heartless?

Bi Ming's cold-blooded actions pushed Hong Kong into a doomsday-like situation, which is outrageous!

This work has a deeper layer, a more significant shift, and a chilling quality compared to his previous works. Rather than a cinematic experience, it's more like a firsthand, immersive one, much like playing a series of zombie games such as *Left 4 Dead*, *Dead Rising*, and *Biohazard*. Every time a zombie appears, I can't help but feel excited (I have a particular fondness for this type of zombie story), waiting to see how the protagonist escapes, feeling a pang of regret when they're injured, and thinking there must have been a better escape route or a desperate counterattack. You might think I'm overly invested, but that's precisely the magic of Bi Ming; he's determined to keep your eyes glued to the screen every second.

Bi Da Ge's series of novels, with their chilling scenes and suffocating tension, are truly terrifying. This time, of course, is no exception; however, behind the horror lies love.

When you open Bi Ming's works, you're greeted by the stench of blood, decay, and the depravity of humanity. Readers, are you buckling your seatbelts? Bi Ming's horror train is about to depart.

[Chris Chan, Hong Kong reader ]

The word "love" seems to be grasping a lid, placing the heart in the center, and protecting it well, whether it is friendship, romantic love, or the love between siblings. It is often said that twins have the best psychological connection, but whether this is true or not is hard to say; however, the connection between siblings is truly real! If one of them is in trouble, the other can feel the panic, worry, and pain that is comparable to being cut into a thousand pieces!

Love is the most touching thing in the world; romantic love may have an expiration date, but the love of family can be limitless and can be free from financial interests! Anyone who has ever been Howard, without even needing to put themselves in his shoes, will understand what the love, pain, and fear of family are! Even a small act of care feels like the most heartwarming thing in the world!
