The open-binding format invites readers to join in the re-creation and sharing of the work and is a sustainable way of experimenting.

Read Mudan's poem 'Spring' to commemorate the passing of April in Shanghai, pick up a pen and fill in your creative phrases about hugs, or unwrap a folded piece and use it as a poster or gift wrap for someone else. Reading, re-creating, and sharing also respond to the associative memories I have formed in thinking about the theme of hugs.
