About Whispers of Time
The memories that have passed represent the shining moments of life, and the author's persistent innocence seems to call out to those who are focused on growth but losing sight of the past. With heartfelt sincerity, Patrick Ting writes about himself and others, sharing the seemingly trivial episodes of his life that are woven into every day and every detail. Each place he stood brought the awareness that today is better than yesterday. From the beginning to the end, every pause in the text becomes a timely reflection of the heart's true desires. In this way, the collection serves as the Ting’s tender attempt to weave together his own “whispers of time” with gentle, thoughtful words.

出版物簡介
路過的回憶都是生命的光點，作者赤子之心的堅持，彷彿召喚那個在追逐成長又拼命淡忘過去的我們。他毫不吝嗇地掏出內心，寫了自己、寫了別人；他的小小世界看似微不足道的小插曲，卻穿透了每個日常和點滴。他佇立過的每個角落，都伴著他領會每個今天都比昨天更好一些。從文字的開始到結束，每一個「隨心」的停頓，全都是「所欲」的反思。陳幹煌以輕輕的文字，在節奏極快的日子裡，拼湊成屬於自己的「時光碎語」。
