Haifan's novel collection. It contains twelve novels, each of which is inspired by wild animals in the tropical rainforest and depicts a series of guerrilla stories:

Yellow muntjac | Python | Black bear | Squirrel

Mouse deer | Elephant | Mountain tortoise | Tiger

Hornbill | Cuckoo | Wild Boar | Gibbon

The author devoted himself to the armed struggle for thirteen years. After the signing of the Hat Yai Peace Agreement, he left the forest and returned to the wild paths of the past through writing, repeatedly identifying the

Analyze your own footprints and the youth scattered there.

Hai Fan:

As a witness, I try to combine the reader's exploration of the "rainforest imagination" and the "guerrilla warfare imagination".

It describes the mutual giving and deprivation between man and nature, and the entanglement and struggle between man and fate against the backdrop of the rainforest.

This collection of novels is a personal, national and historical look back.
