Rereading the 1980s
by Zhu Wei
About This Novel
What were the eighties? Zhu Wei, former editor-in-chief of Sanlian Life Weekly, wrote: The 1980s was an era when people could sit together in groups of three or five and talk about literature all night long; it was an era when everyone could get together to drink beer, watch movie videos and World Cup broadcasts all night long; it was an era when people could "run" on the road like "lovers". Everyone was being chased by the innovative dog and couldn't lift their pants, but they were all intimate and having endless fun. In the 1980s, Zhu Wei rode his bicycle from one writer's house to meet another writer. During this period, he successively published a large number of writers in "People's Literature" such as Mo Yan, Yu Hua, Su Tong, Liu Sola, Acheng, and Ge Fei. In 2013, Zhu Wei began to write "Me and the 1980s" on his blog, hoping to recall every node of that era through his own life trajectory and record the process of interacting with each writer. This book is the culmination of three years of reading and writing by Zhu Wei. He rereads the classic works of important writers active from the 1980s to the present one by one, analyzed them step by step, and systematically interpreted the works of 10 iconic writers: Wang Meng, Li Tuo, Han Shaogong, Chen Cun, Shi Tiesheng, Wang Anyi, Mo Yan, Ma Yuan, Yu Hua, and Su Tong, allowing readers to understand a writer through one article.
