about fallen leaves.
From observing plants,
I discovered a lot about plants
that people don't know about.
For example,
the existence of plant characters
and plant spirits.
Plants are also
musicians,
painters,
or dancers.
The book uses
the fallen leaves’ testament
to reveal these secrets
one by one.
There are no human words
in the whole book,
and all the plants themselves
created amazing works.
I hope this book
will awaken readers' love of nature
and inspire them to preserve
their curiosity,
patience,
and love —
so that they can experience life
and see the world around them.

关于落叶遗言的书。
源于对植物的观察，
我发现了植物
很多不为人知的一面——
比如植物文字，
植物精灵的存在，
它们还是音乐家、
画家、
舞蹈家。
这本书
利用落叶的遗言，
去一一揭露这些秘密。
全书无一人类的文字，
全是植物们自己
创作的神奇作品。
我希望这本书
能唤醒读者对自然的热爱，
启发他们保存好
自己的好奇心、
耐心、
爱心，
慢下来体会生活，
细看身边的世界。
