中篇小说《放手》以独特的视觉观察生活,塑造出与众不同的富豪陈富贵。从农村到城里打工的陈富贵能吃苦又聪明过人,几经磨难成为房地产开发商,亿万富豪。陈富贵与原配育有两个女儿,夫妻感情一直很好。但是发达后的陈富贵也不能免俗:有钱人不找女人被看作是缺钱有病。陈富贵一面在年轻女人身上证明自己宝刀不老,一面从心里痛恨自己这种恶习,蔑视女人为了钱而出卖自己。他是一个游击队员,打一枪换一个地方,是富人圈中少有的没有情人的富豪。

年近花甲的陈富贵意识到没有儿子的悲哀,在"朋友"的撺掇下结识为帮父母还债进城打工刚刚二十岁的农家女夏蜻,各取所需地签下"生子协议"。为了给夏蜻生的儿子提供良好的教育,陈富贵忍痛割爱同原配离婚不离家。登陆温哥华后大手笔在西温豪宅区买下面朝大海的房子。

作者是温哥华执业二十余年的金牌地产经纪人,描述陈富贵买房过程生动活泼,如临其境,温哥华火爆的房地产市场将如一幅画一样印刻在读者的脑海里。

陈富贵登陆后即回到中国,原配患癌需要手术、化疗以及放疗,面对生死难料的原配,陈富贵开始内省,同时听到有关妻子夏蜻与儿子英文家教之间暧昧的传说。陈富贵宠辱不惊,思前想后,做出与众不同,令人泪奔的决定。

短篇小说《隔离》取材于冠状病毒期间,移民加国二十余年的艾米与来自中国到温哥华探望女儿的发小之间的故事。因为疫情发小被接到家中隔离,久别多年再次重逢、姐妹情深令人感动。疫情割不断友情,亲情更浓,珍惜生命,珍惜缘分,分居夫妻重归于好。

中篇纪实小说《童年记忆》以第一人称的白描手法,讲述了一个生活在六十年代末七十年代初的女孩耳闻目睹了很多碎片故事,这些抹不去的记忆影响了她的一生。历史不应该被忘记。

短篇小说《血淡如水》描述早年抛妻弃子的男人,二十年后与儿孙相见的场面。是因果报应还是物质的世界里不再有血浓于水?

短篇小说《戴耳环的男人》生动描述了中西文化冲突在婚恋选择上的恐惧。异国恋情多有不易,安全感时时刻刻触动敏感多疑的神经,一只耳环成了一对看起来很般配男女之间的障碍,一声叹息。

中篇小说《一步之遥》年近花甲风韵犹存的女人为了晚年的"幸福",潜心研究发财之路,继承遗产是一条快速通道,可惜继承遗产如水中捞月,一步之遥如万水千山般难以达到。

这是一个最好的时代,也是最坏的时代。生活如万花筒般精彩纷呈,讴歌人性之美鞭笞社会陋习是作家的使命。
