About This Novel
"Flag of Desire" (1996) is a masterpiece of Ge Fei's creative transformation period. It is a powerful attempt for him to intervene in reality after going through the avant-garde experimental stage. In the philosophy department of a university in Shanghai, on the eve of an important academic conference, Professor Jia, the initiator and executive chairman of the conference, committed suicide by jumping off the building without warning, and the conference had to be interrupted. Information about Professor Jia's lifetime is pieced together bit by bit through other people's memories, and the story unfolds accordingly. As the meeting was being prepared and carried out, other characters also appeared one after another: Professor Jia's disciple Zeng Shan was a staunch rationalist, but always fell into self-doubt; Song Zijin was Zeng Shan's senior brother, who was confused by lies and game emotions all day long, and finally fell into madness. At the center of the incident are Zeng Shan's wife Zhang Mo, Buddhist masters, economic fraudsters, data clerks, etc. They are all sinking in the abyss of their own desires. When the banner of desire is spread, some people fall down, some are still struggling, and some have already rushed to another carnival...

Anyway, crimes always have a purpose, or there is something he needs, but he can't afford it, so he can only commit crimes first and he will never think about whether this is right or not? I will only think about whether I want it or not.
Under sin, desire is always out of reach. Anyway, relatively speaking, these are the things you buy, urging you to buy things, and even saying that you can't stop because you are about to buy something, hahaha^ω^
