【悲劇竟是從喜悅中釀出來的】
My Enemy's Cherry Tree《敵人的櫻花樹》
「如果你還沒準備好，我們可以不要開始」
一切都要從那次中獎開始。一台相機，一樁悲劇。
他出身貧寒，與秋子結婚後一直過著拮据而美好的小日子。而一次意外中獎，秋子獲得一台相機，從此迷上攝影。秋子輾轉認識了同樣喜歡攝影的鄉紳羅毅明，更多次前往羅家作客。
他為了給愛妻帶來更好的生活，投身當時正熱的房地產業，而秋子為了支持丈夫，想方設法籌備資金，而這其中也包含頗有財富的羅毅明。然而，羅毅明竟仗勢汙辱了秋子。秋子遭到羅明益玷汙後，便消失得悄無聲息。
他憤怒、悲泣，更不願承認摯愛的離去。他辭職，在海岸邊開了間咖啡館，每天營業，等待妻子有一天會推開那扇門，而推開門的，是那羅毅明的女兒，羅白琇。白琇捎來父親並重的消息，並表示希望自己能為父親過去的作為贖罪。他、秋子、羅毅明和羅白琇，四人故事，二人對話，過去那些愛、恨、悲、喜，逐漸鮮明起來。
“𝙒𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮.”
A man who has come from nothing, from poverty and loss, finds himself a beautiful wife, his dream love. When she vanishes without a trace, he sets up a small café in her favourite spot on the edge of the South China Sea, hoping she'll return. Instead, he is confronted by the man he suspects may be responsible for everything he has suffered: Luo Yiming, a prominent businessman and philanthropist who holds the small town in his sway. In the few moments the two men spend together, Luo is driven mad. So begins a story of desire and betrayal set against the tumultuous first decade of Taiwan's 21st Century.
The recipient of all three of Taiwan's major literary prizes, My Enemy's Cherry Tree is a story of love, money and coercion, in which two men who have sought to acquire something unattainable, instead lose something irreplaceable.
