Any target can be resolved within six seconds. The legendary genius killer “Fable” (played by Junichi Okada) is a ruthless character who makes the underworld frightened. In response to the order of “Boss” (played by Hiroichi Sato), he and his partner (played by Fumino Kimura) pretended to be siblings and lived an ordinary life under the pseudonym “Akira Sato”, not to mention killing anyone during the year they lived in Osaka… One day, he happens to meet a mysterious girl in a wheelchair (played by Hirate Yurina), and Yu Jinho (played by Shinichi Tsutsumi), the founder of a non-profit organization that seems to care about children’s future. All kinds of unusual things remind Fable of the assassination mission four years ago.

brief introduction:
“Fate” is Cai Chongda’s first full-length novel after eight years after “Skin”.
The phrase in “Skins” “skins are for use, not for serving.” It is from the mouth of the protagonist of “Destiny”, Tai. “Fate” takes the story of her life at the age of ninety-nine as the main line, connecting the life stories, fate choices and the ups and downs of the times of several generations in a coastal town in southern Fujian.
The whole book uses A Tai’s five memories to cut into the essential propositions that people have to face in the long river of time:
Layers of Waves: You have no past, only future——
When the originally stable way of living is shattered, the traditional order of shelter is broken, and the weak people who are caught in the great uncertainty, how to live? Where is the peace of mind to be placed?
Sea Soil: Inspiration is the soil floating on the sea——
Fetters and meaning are the ballast stones of the human soul, which will not be overturned when the waves of life come. Those who lost their ballast stones in Ah Tai’s life were taken away one by one by fate. At this time, she was only sixteen years old.
Flowers in the field: Flowers that want to bear fruit bow their heads early——
Bearing the fate prophecy of “no children, no grandchildren, no children to die”, she became a relative, had a husband’s family and a husband, and adopted a child. But those who have seen fate will understand that the torrent of fate never stops, and people in it don’t know which time to say goodbye is a farewell.
Buddha in the toilet: the place of decay, the place of the gods——
Under the huge waves of the times, how to keep the inner clarity and faith? The easiest way to live in this world is to live for others. And if that person happens to live for you, then no matter how hard life is, it will be as sweet as a sweet potato.
Zenith Hole: Either lay in the ground, or shoot into the sky——
Ah Tai’s story came to an end when death became her close old friend. She finally gave birth to her own destiny and became the mother of her own destiny. She has been to this world, and she will never return.
Media comments:
This is a book about the bottom.
In our personal life and in our common life, those beliefs that operate secretly at the bottom and fundamentally support us; those forces that allow us to stand and move forward amidst limited choices and vast impermanence; Those inner gods who make us believe in life and its own meaning.
The tree is unaware of its roots, its branches and leaves gleefully rise to the sky, but it is from its roots that the tree grows, stretches. The power in the dirt leads us upwards.
Therefore, “Destiny” is ultimately about “roots”. It is a patient and endless narration, and it is a long journey—towards our roots, our spiritual hometown and the distance.
——Li Jingze Chongda’s appearance in the English-speaking world is so dazzling, and the ever-changing portrait of China he paints is fascinating. His work shines with the ingenuity of a fine novelist.
——American Publishers Weekly
It is deeply touching… Cai Chongda’s deep respect and love for his loved ones shine brightly in those moving and poignant images in his works.
——American “Bibliography Magazine”
Cai Chongda’s work is written according to local folk traditions, and it is an out-and-out modern novel. Not only is it quite rare in type, but it is especially unique in translated works. It helps readers discover life that most people don’t see, and this kind of empathy building can cross borders, cultures and languages.
