This original picture book is deeply rooted in the author Tang Tang's real childhood experiences.

The story begins with an encounter between a child and an owl, gradually unfolding a life narrative about attachment, fear, and ultimately, letting go. The protagonist forms a profound emotional bond with the owl she names "Copper Bell." However, the instinct to love is accompanied by a desire to possess and a deep fear of loss—a near-universal experience in all profound relationships. The work delicately depicts how the protagonist struggles within this fear and finally realizes that the essence of love is not to confine the other, but to learn to respect their nature and grant them freedom at the appropriate moment.
In this process, "Copper Bell" becomes more than just a beloved object; it serves as a metaphor for anyone or anything we deeply cherish, prompting the protagonist to undergo significant spiritual growth: the deepest attachment must be sublimated into the broadest blessing. The meaning of life is not to seek safety in absolute control, but to find a deeper, more enduring connection between freedom and taming, between attachment and letting go.
