SeaWrite judges announced today with the statement saying that the book reflects the "changing society, in the modern world of competition, violence, and competition in politics, society, and culture. People have changed with the world unknowingly from being delicate to rough, from kindness to indifference, from simplicity to complexity. In this circumstance, people are in the cycle of confusion, division, and paranoia."

Just like the name of the book itself, these themes are all related together to question society whether we have forgotten something. The judges say the writer composes a powerful narration, has a charming way of telling story leaving the readers many points to think about. The book won the award out of nine other books.

There will a press conference on Monday to introduce the author at Oriental Hotel on Monday.
