Summary "海遊記" by Wugenzi is a fictional narrative that appears to have been written in the late 16th century. This work is a tale that intertwines adventure and existential musings through its main characters, 信天翁 (Xintian Weng) and 管城子 (Guanchengzi), as they navigate a world rich with interactions and bizarre encounters. The opening of "海遊記" introduces readers to a hermit, who has forgotten his own name, living in isolation due to dangers from nearby wildlife. He embarks on a journey by boat, where he encounters an old man named 管城子 who asks for passage across the river. Their meeting leads to a sharing of stories and the forging of a brotherly bond, as they discuss life's peculiarities and hardships. Through their conversation, the foundation is set for a journey filled with exploration and the quest for knowledge in a fantastical world, mixing themes of survival, camaraderie, and the search for purpose.
