Features: "Chao Tan Ji" (Random Ramblings) is the first essay collection launched by the renowned "" (mainstream) writer Liu Heng, who has been described by the media as "fire in film," "fire in vision," yet "not fire in people." Liu Heng has always maintained a low profile in the media, but this time, he broke from his usual style in "Chao Tan Ji," revealing his personal experiences and feelings: talking about literature, cinema, emotions, creation... unafraid to expose himself. Upon publication, it immediately attracted widespread attention. Liu Heng's major works include "Bite-Dog Rice," "Peng Zhai Zhang Damin's Happy Life," and others.
"Peng Zhai" (the talkative) Zhang Damin helped Liu Heng gain more fame. However, readers can see in "Chao Tan Ji" that Liu Heng is actually a highly skilled "talkative" person, and they can also see the depth and sharpness behind this "talkative" writing. The cleverness of his writing can rival Wang Shuo's "Ignorance is Bliss," and the depth of his thoughts is no less than Bai Yansong's "Pain and Happiness."
