Time Pressure

About This Novel
"The Pressure of Time" is written by Xia Lijun, winner of the "Lin Yutang Prose Award" and "Zhongshan Literature Award". With the skill of search and interpretation and the courage of purification, the author echoes the secrets of the soul one by one, launching a series of time and space dialogues spanning thousands of years, aiming to complete the in-depth interpretation of the ancients and traditions with academic literary expression from the perspective of modern humanities. Qu Yuan's lingering pathos, Cao Cao's treacherous confusion, Li Bai's youthful exuberance, Sima Qian's loyalty... Each of the ancients, whose appearance and spirit are similar, their existential dilemmas and human struggles under the pressure of time, are presented in the author's writing. The author and the ancients as aesthetic objects reach the depths of history together, but they can stand clearly outside the phantom of history. The writing is clean and crisp, with the skin peeling off the bones, and sometimes it has the effect of getting to the bottom of things. It is simple and refreshing to read, but it is always alert and requires a lot of thinking.
