Cultural Notes
Literature文化笔记
Wang Xiaobo
Wang Xiaobo is currently the most creative writer in China. He is known as China's Joyce and Kafka. He is also the only mainland Chinese writer who has twice won the "Taiwan United Press Literary Award Novella Award", an important award in the world of Chinese literature. His literary creation is unique, full of imagination and fantasy, but also has a rational spirit. His writing is both transparent and hazy, honest and cunning. The maze-like text reminds you of Borges, who goes around in circles, more like a taxi driver than a taxi driver... In short, you can read about infinite possibilities or impossibilities, infinite certainty or uncertainty. This book collects a total of 162 excellent works by Wang Xiaobo during his lifetime, including "Life and Novel", "Sociology of Torture", "Civilization and Irony", "Overseas Talk·Farm", "Dutch Pastures and Folks", etc.

The Republic and the Philosopher King
Literature理想国与哲人王
Wang Xiaobo
"Utopia and the Philosopher King" is a concise compilation of Wang Xiaobo's essays, and also includes some of his love letters from his relationship with his lover Li Yinhe. Writer Mr. Zhu Yong said: Most of Wang Xiaobo's essays deal with the cultural status and the fate of intellectuals. Naturally, embarrassment and bitterness are inevitable. Therefore, you cannot just laugh when reading Wang Xiaobo's essays. His humor shows us a mysterious and dark hole. Whether we can taste it briefly or go deep into it all depends on our personal interests. Wang Xiaobo's humor is like an olive with endless aftertaste, which is always fresh when chewed.

Love in Revolutionary Times
General Fiction革命时期的爱情
Wang Xiaobo
This is a book about sex. Sex is driven by its own power, but doing something spontaneously is sometimes not allowed, which makes things very complicated. For example, the Summer Palace is to the north of my home. If there was no north direction, I would have to go south, cross the Antarctic and the North Pole, and travel more than 40,000 kilometers to get there. What I'm trying to say is this: People can indeed explain everything, including sex... In a far-fetched way.

Red Fly at Night
General Fiction红拂夜奔
Wang Xiaobo
This book is based on the love affair between General Li Jing and Yang Su's prostitute Hongfu in the late Sui Dynasty. It looks at history from a modern perspective and shows the embarrassing situation of intellectuals in an anti-intellectual society. In the complicated intertwining of history and reality, illusion and reality, the novel seems absurd, but it embodies the irony of reality and the yearning for freedom and fun. As Wang Xiaobo said in the preface: "I write about the heart rather than the appearance, and the similarity in spirit rather than appearance."

Green Furry Water Monster

Wang Xiaobo's early short story collection includes 9 short stories including his debut novel "The Green Haired Water Monster". Most of the novels are based on the experience of queue jumping in Yunnan and Shandong.

Wang Xiaobo said: I have wanted to write novels since I was a child... I do this purely because it is a career I love. Li Yinhe also praised: Xiaobo's talent as a poet has been revealed. However, what made me fall in love with him at that time may not be his talent for writing poetry, but more the poetry in him.

Future World
General Fiction未来世界
Wang Xiaobo
My story is coming to an end. Of course you know by now that I went home that night. I live with F now and she is fully aware of this and understands that, in her words, you have no choice but to live like this. I'm more or less accustomed to this kind of life now, and I'm familiar with the people around me. If there are no new people coming, this monthly level will not be too difficult. Just like a wound that has become scarred, if nothing new falls into it, there will be no pain. This incident caused the most pain to those who actually made the mistake, while those who came in through the back door felt nothing but a little ashamed. One more thing I know is that I no longer have the energy or the desire to make the same mental mistakes again.
