Literature of This Era
by Chen Zhide
About This Novel
The expression of literature lies in language, and language is to the author what the sword is to the warrior, but in the end it is a tool rather than a purpose. Literature should not be diligent in modifying words and only focusing on ingenuity. It should be directed at changing the limitations of individuals and even society, at least as an energy of change, so that small individuals, even if it is just an emotion, tend to transcend on a larger scale. --Chen Zhide This book contains forty-seven essays, divided into four volumes. Volume 1, "The Source of Enlightenment," remembers the admired teachers and predecessors; Volume 2, "The Same Journey Outside the World", asks literary friends of the same generation. From their deeds and writings, it shows the enlightenment that literature and art can achieve, and also longs for a common path; Volume 3, "Literature of this Era" focuses on "Hong Kong" "Literature" contains historical retrospectives, personal recollections, reflections on the past and present, and anxieties. You can understand the literary concept that the author has looked up to for many years. Volume 4 "Tea and Books" starts with a chat as sweet as tea, trying to summarize the conversation, and also express some of the frustrations emanating from Volumes 1 to 3. The author is either expressing emotions or discussing. The words contain the power of radiance, enlightenment and transcendence. Through the ups and downs of thinking and intellectual writing, they touch the various aspects of life in the past and present.
