The Chinese literary hall has finally achieved free narration that returns to the nature, talent, and conscience of the Chinese language. It is harmonious, unrestrained, rugged, vast, and subtle, fully showcasing the brilliant darkness of the natural and spiritual wastelands. Heaven is silent, but humans speak—this is the noble task of those who transcend the ordinary. The work consists of two long novels, Crumbling Around the Lake and The Sea Yesterday Receded. Though it portrays extreme conditions and vast scenes, it is so captivating that it leaves one in awe. Yet it does not follow the conventional form of novels but stands out in its unique style. It embodies the essence of free Chinese literature—diverse, open, flexible, and boundless—through the force of naturalism. It also uses the boundless emotional and rational power of a free spirit to subvert the genre of the novel, reaching the primal instincts of the wild and powerful life surrounding Qinghai Lake, which is both thrilling and awe-inspiring. It reaches the oppressive state that spans the world of animism, where nature and humanity are one. It reaches the depths of love between men and women, a labyrinth and a thunderstorm, where light and darkness are intertwined. It reaches the enigmatic and unpredictable realms of esoteric Buddhism and the realm of color and emptiness, which are beyond the limits of comprehension. It reaches the hardships of the wasteland between decrees and, where grass withers and people decline. It reaches the mysterious spiritual rhythms, profound conflicts, barbaric customs of marriage and love, and fascinating legends of ancient peoples in the vastness of the wasteland, moving from near to far. It reaches the desolate songs, clan feuds, wanton destruction, primal allure, and human order, as well as the dangers of the lawless wilderness, where all things are striking and extraordinary. It reaches the wild, untamed, vast, terrifying, cruel, and bizarre depths of the original wasteland, where the desolate songs, clan feuds, wanton destruction, primal allure, and human order are all in peril. It reaches the wild, hidden yet sacred romance beyond centuries, morality, and civilization, which is endless and ever-renewing. It reaches the great trials, great sorrows, great mistakes, and great secrets of the spiritual and physical realms in the lifeless zones of thin air, as if it were an unwavering quest that lasts forever. The work is keen in insight, adept at spiritual vision, and vast in scope, with a poetic rhythm like a rainbow. It possesses subtle and refined inspiration, profound courage, intellect, and linguistic space, consciously entering a grand narrative that is full of vitality. It leaves endless aesthetic freedom in limited words, and even more, it fuses the humanistic content it has realized with the epic form it has explored, a rare breadth and depth for contemporary literature. The writer Wang Zengqi once called it "a rare and heart-stirring masterpiece," and it has also been hailed by Taiwanese critics as "a first-class masterpiece in the Chinese-speaking world."
