The novel is based on campus life, and in the slowly unfolding depiction of high school and college life, the ideological and spiritual emptiness, desolation, and absurdity of the youth of "this generation" are gradually exposed. The protagonists were once living souls pursuing spiritual beauty and ideal life, but they all fell away in love, philosophy, academics, and literature, and became "living dead" pursuing superficial physical and spiritual entertainment.
