Why Don't You Harass Me
by Wu Xiaobo
About This Novel
Mr. Lu Xun is the best essayist since the vernacular. He disliked everything and always liked to stab people with a small dagger. Therefore, in the photos that remain today, he always looks very serious. Occasionally, he laughs heartily, but he always reveals a very confused melancholy. Essayists all over China regard Mr. Lu Xun as their idol. Therefore, when writing articles, I am very concerned about the country and the people. Eastern intellectuals seem to have this "melancholy complex." A young man once asked a great director in the Soviet era, whose name I forgot, but who seemed to have made a very famous movie, "How can we become a great director?" The old man said, "All you owe is a prison sentence." I am not an essayist, and I don't want to wait for a prison sentence, but I was born to only write articles to make a living. Therefore, I usually write some "serious" financial articles and books. Occasionally, when my hands feel itchy, I make up a character named "Mr. Wu" and let him flaunt around, hit walls, and cause trouble. The more stories this person makes up, the more it becomes a small virtual society. He has a wife, a daughter, neighbors, cousins, and colleagues. He keeps pace with the times every day, lives endlessly, and keeps getting weird. After years of crawling and climbing, his deeds have actually become spectacular. Hence, this book. It should be noted here that "Mr. Wu" has little to do with "Wu Xiaobo". The reason why they have the same surname is purely coincidental. However, in the final analysis, they are ordinary people who like to be smart. In this regard, many people in China are like this.
