2012 Golden Comic Award For Best Comic
This book uses a simple style of drawing to tell six stories about taste, including an old man who is willing to put his life on the line for an old shop, a young person who wants to realise his dreams, a reformed criminal, a customer in love with the owner of a snack shop, and a philosophical discussion between a sugar jar and a pepper shaker. Each displays Ruan Guang-Min’s deep and focused attention to the details that make up daily life. Normal, everyday conversations are imbued with a warm empathy, and his careful brushstrokes and colours create an atmosphere thick with nostalgia.
