The man who steals the shadow tells the story of a boy from his childhood to his epiphany, and finally finds his first dream. In the meantime, there is the friendship between him and his friends, and there is a gradual maturity and transformation of love, of course, all of which can not be separated from his special function - "steal the shadow."

A boy with the shadow of the shadow of others can overlap, with shadow - a set of imagination exchanges others is very rich, indeed the shadow overlap this phenomenon is enough to make people fall into a reverie, but very few people to wonder exactly, the author grasped this point.
