Features: Gu Long's novels focus on the experience of human nature. He often uses delicate brushwork to depict the subtle and complex emotions of characters, employing sharp contradictions such as life and death, happiness and pain to reveal their inner world and noble, independent personalities, thereby uncovering the meaning of life and the truth of existence. In Gu Long's works, there is a tendency to write about distorted personalities and characters who pursue externalized, eccentric traits. His protagonists are often eccentric, mysterious, solitary, stubborn in their actions, proud, yet deeply emotional and passionate. This may be related to Gu Long's background, state of mind, and life experiences.
