Features: The authors of this series of books are all young scholars who have obtained doctorates. Some of them are my students, and some, in terms of seniority, can also be considered my students. This is a bit of an advantage for me. It's not that I enjoy teaching, but simply because of my role as a teacher, and also because I am older than they are, so they can only be my students. However, they are all my friends, and also successful young peers in academia. Therefore, being able to serve as the editor of this series is not only an honor but also very familiar to me. This book is not systematically presenting a postmodern theme, but rather collects some short essays I wrote at different times. To some extent, they express the author's interpretation of contemporary cultural trends and literary phenomena. Obviously, they include both cultural and literary content, and the content and interpretive approaches of these two aspects are also different. In terms of ideological theory, the author maintains a pluralistic stance, questioning the absolute ideology of dominant culture while showing understanding toward the emerging creative culture that is on the fringes.
