A note from the owner

I grew up watching my family use Xiao Liu Ren to find keys, jewelry and documents. Whenever something went missing at home, someone would count it out on their fingers and tell us where to start looking.

When I started recommending it to relatives and friends, they kept asking me to write the steps down. So I wrote this book to share it, in plain English, with a calm search plan alongside the old method.

— Zixuan, founder of Lost Lantern

Found: Earring

Lost and found again! I used Xiao Liu Ren to find an earring I had lost a long time ago. (translated from Chinese)

At first I couldn't find it. The owner told me not to let my emotions take over, and it really was my own fault. Later I followed the hints and found it. It took some effort, but I'm very grateful to the owner for being so patient. Thumbs up! This is the first time I've written a review this carefully. (translated from Chinese)
